Manchester United v Manchester City- GMT Sunday 8th March 2020 - KO- 4.30pm Premier League Match Preview and MDT

[Buzz Lightyear]

Well then, Blues. What do we make of that?
Kevin De Bruyne's absence is the biggest pre-match talking point from our perspective. He's not recovered in time, but that does mean boyhood Blue Phil Foden gets a start in midfield.
Pep Guardiola has made six change to the side that started against Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup.
Joao Cancelo, Nicolas Otamendi, Bernardo Silva, Rodri and Sergio Aguero are all retained.
Ederson, Raheem Sterling, Ilkay Gundogan, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fernandinho come in alongside Foden.

KDB is a big miss but clearly not being risked. There are other fish to fry.....

 

[Colin Is The King]

Teams in the tunnel - Come (Cone) on City!

 

[Skoorb]

Let's hope for no controversy and no VAR involvement!

 

[BamaEngineer]

Well, not our strongest lineup, but it will be more than enough if we execute the plan.

 

[Colin Is The King]

Be interesting to see if KDB is played in either of the two games to follow - I would think Arsenal of the two if that happens.

 

[BamaEngineer]

CONE ON CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hominid]

He has lost KDB and David Silva would be too well policed besides he did well playing on that right side and it maybe he will play him there or in the play maker role, whatever the case the Rags will be happy that both the aforementioned players and not starting the game.

Don't get me wrong - I'm happy to see Foden start - it's just that it comes somewhat out of left field!

 

[Skoorb]

The Sky Commentary Dream Team are in position.......

I’m starting early to calm my nerves.

 

[BamaEngineer]

I’m starting early to calm my nerves.

Yea right, that's the excuse.

 

[Skoorb]

CONE ON CITY!!!!

 

[Johnny Baguette]

Bonjour Planet Blue! Let’s Go Champs!

 

[Rising]

Yea right, that's the excuse.

And it’s a bloody good one!

 

[Colin Is The King]

Ederson a bit iffy with a couple of clearances.

 

[BamaEngineer]

Zink you idiot!!!

 

[BamaEngineer]

Very slow start.

 

[Colin Is The King]

City corner.

 

[Colin Is The King]

Aguero doing superbly to rob Shaw, and it finishes with a Sterling effort parried by De Gea.

 

[Skoorb]

WTF was that free kick for? There was no foul! Anywhere!
