Closed Man City v Chelsea

[The only place to be 11,313]

whats with every1 putting matic in their teams? u expect jose to give matic a full PL start against man city at etihad!!!!!!!!!!!!! not unless rambo, lamps, mikel and luiz all are injured do i see that happening.

Yep. Why else rest him against West Ham?

Plus he got 90 minutes against Stoke and looked far more effective than our other options. I'd be surprised if he didn't start to be honest.

i dont think it was a "rest" per say. lamps was a rest. i would be shocked to see matic in the line up to be honest. dint look at all comfortable against whu and listening to jose about slowly integrating players in the team, i seriously doubt if he will start.

i expect us to play with almost the same team that started against arsenal. only difference, etoo for torres.

Aguero out for a month will not feature in mondays game vs city according to pellegrini

[Shane 2,275]

massive news

Breaking news: Sergio Aguero out for a month with hamstring injury.

[iceboy 992]

No Aguero

What was better for us - 3 points against West Ham and a loss against City, or two draws in both games?

r u claiming those three are better than matic? if u r looking for someone not comfortable against WHU, look no further than Ramirez

[iceboy 992]

I hope Demichelis start would be very good for us.

[Yipo Ran 73]

it will be luiz+rami combo

[The Chels 2,502]

Will probably be Mangala starting! Him and Fernando for £37m would be very good business for them IMO.

Referee: Mike Dean

[ZOS 580]

it will be luiz+rami combo

that would ruin my night

Ramirez should be included only in a three men midfield

Matic will be starying alongside Rambo. Would be interesting to see a Luiz and Matoc combo though and Mourimho does like to pull a trick or two out in the big games.

No Aguero

They still have Negredo and Dzeko, what a squad.

For Chelsea: No Torres. We still have Eto'o and Ba

[Namika 922]

We are in for a good surprise, the team will respond as usual in a big game. I see us win 1-3, it's the kind of games Jose loves.

He was quite bad in his sub appearance though. Tbh, id rather had we started Lampard against West Ham and Mikel against City for the defensive stability.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

We'll win this game. City aren't all that.
