City Team News
Sergio Aguero (knee) is back in training but is not expected to be fit enough for this game, whilst Oleksandr Zinchenko also remains side lined.

It remains to be seen whether Raheem Sterling (hamstring) and Gabriel Jesus (muscular) have recovered during the international break, whilst the same can be said for Ilkay Gundogan, who needed to regain his fitness after testing positive for COVID-19.

City will welcome back Joao Cancelo from the foot problem that kept him out of our opening games, with the full-back having played for Portugal last week.

This will be my last pundit predo since it’s only Lawrenson since Charlie Nicholson got binned and my language is likely to get worse than it already is.
Lawrenson’s prediction: 2:5 Arse

Its a typo, if you scroll down to where he makes his comments, he actually predicts 1-1
 
Thank you for pulling the MDT previews together Buzz 👏🏻

Still seeking my mojo....... normally find the way international breaks (well any of them really) infuriating and frustrating.....but this season I have not been pining for our matches at all 😕 Probably an unrecognised symptom of Covid19. Loss of Football Mojo.

I don’t know whether I should be very happy that Sergio is back or devastated that Kevin is out.
For this particular game, who is more important?

With a bit of luck we'll beat them without Kev and it will show the rest we can do it without him, maybe then they'll stop relying on him to come up with the magic.

Trying to put a positive spin on it.

it is early days yet but I don’t think he has been as potent yet as in the past perhaps as we adjust to life without DS21. We do need to learn to come up with alternate solutions other than “Leave it to Kevin”.
 
A tad worried about this fixture. Depleted with injuries to key players. Given our lack of 'legs' in the middle I'm hoping that Partey doesn't make his debut tomorrow.
