Caballero starts as does Mangala. In fact wrong on both fronts! Caballero starts as does Mangala.

Suspect Demichellis to start though since The Mangler has played 2 x 90mins already this week. Hull will suit him his game and should be able to outwit the likes of Jelavic. Is a strong XI indeed but may lack a bit of penetration through the middle; i.e. as opposed to having Sergio and Jovetic up there off him. Hull likely to park the bus even at home. So best bet for goals will probably be to get the ball out to Navas and Milner to run in round the back, and ping balls in to Dzeko with Yaya and Frank hopefully bombing in/lurking around the box. Kolorov to make an appearance at some point to aid in that respect and Silva/Aguero if necessary. Caballero could indeed start but my gut tells me it will be Hart. Either way will not be a walkover of a game but suspect us to come out on top in the end. Here's hoping. Agree, looks a good shout to me.

We need to get more men in the box for navas crosses. Against arsenal he sent over 3 or 4 perfect crosses & only Edin was in the box.we need to improve on that. I hope pozo makes the squad. Put him in there I say. This business of players age/resting players is nonsense. Honestly, lampard averaged 50 games a year for Chelsea in 13 years.there professionals, that's what they're made to do.

I also have gone for 3-0 on sky sports super 6 so the result is in no doubt :) It makes sense to push Yaya on with lampard coming from deep and fernandinho sitting, however knowing Pellegrini I would be surprised if we started that way.

Resting Merlin and Kun, benching them, obviously means that 2 of our 4 'go to' guys are not starting an away game, in the PL, that we simply have to win. But we have a squad of excellent players, and we should use them sensibly, especially when players are carrying knocks and we have a CL absolutley must win game three days later. Milner is on fire, he has always been much more than the work horse, utility player, that some of his detractors accuse him of being. He has never failed us and in the last 2 or 3 games he has arguably been the pick of the crop. Frankie de Yanqui has been an absolute Godsend, and his form in the last 2 games has borne out all you wrote about his potential, and I like the match ups in the wide areas too. Aleks Kolarov and Samir Nasri seem to get the best out of each other, Clichy and Jimmy Milner are less penetrative maybe but nobody bosses them and Roma are in the wings. Zaba and Jesus are working very well together and Yaya's passing game in the No10 slot, his ability to bully from time to time, and his eye for goal makes him a great candidate for that role. You've convinced me boyo :-) 0-3 City One own goal and who cares who scores the others. :-) Alph Well VfaB, that’s a very ‘un-Pellegrini’ and ‘un-City’ like lineup, but it makes a great deal of sense to me.
