We are off to London where at the Stadium of the same name we take on the new and improved West Ham, where they showed their North London neighbours that it is not over until the final whistle, so City need to be aware that they need to put this one to bed early and keep it that way. We still have that problem up front with the latest that Sergio has to prove himself to get another contract

City Team News
Jesus, Laporte, Mendy and De Bruyne are all doubtful and various potential return dates have been promulgated in the media. The good new is that Aymeric Laporte and Kevin De Bruyne have returned to training and the bad news is that our Captain Fernandinho is out

Head to Head
League P102 52 D15 L35

as you can see not a lot of draws in the 102 games we have played in the league so we will expect goals galore.

We have a good record vs the Hammers, we need to start fast and slick, with not too much back and across stuff early. We should win with a brace from Kun.
 
Watching the Aussie rules Grand Final at the mo. Geelong a point up at 1/4 time, a very fierce game so far. A Geelong star player dislocated his shoulder, popped back in, tapped up and he is back on, tough as teak. Waiting for the main course later at 10.30pm my time.
 
XI | Ederson, Walker, Dias, Garcia, Cancelo, Rodrigo, Gundogan, Bernardo, Mahrez, Sterling (C), Aguero.

SUBS | Steffen, Stones, Zinchenko, De Bruyne, Torres, Foden, Palmer.
 
Stones, Torres and Foden will have to try harder, maybe they would have expected to play. Come on Kun, 2 goals from you please
 
Well, now, people, the BBC have answered my question quicker than you lot.
