Man Ciy's defence is shite, have a go I say, nothing to lose as we are expected to fold anyway! That's my feeling as well, the evidence suggests we'll get beat 4 or 5 anyway so might as well try something different. Especially without arguably our best defender.

Grant Johnson shawcross Cameron pieters Diouf Allen whelan sobhi Berahino crouch . Two lines of 4 trying to keep city out .crouch and berahino to hassle otismendi and stones ...if Bruno fit put Cameron in for Allen ...arnie goes missing in these type of games and if not 100% fit ,get him ready for Chelsea....I don't want to be sitting there on Wednesday getting a tonking ...we shall see ! Arnie dropped?! You must be having a laugh.

The most important thing is we put pace in the team so no Adam, Whelan, Walters or Crouch. I think the back 5 should be straight forward but with their defence Id look at being positive
..........Cameron......Allen............
Arni................Imbula........Sobhi
.........................Diouf.................
Weirdly I think this game could really suit Imbula and Diouf with his pace. I think it might be a game too soon for Bera. I have this awful feeling he'll bring in Walters for Sobhi.

We've sold 1,200 tickets according to the ticket office. Quite a few have returned because of the late change in date to midweek....

I'd have the standard back 5, Muni if Frank bruno is unavailable. Cameron and Whelan Then Arnie Shaq Ramadan Berahino
If Shaq isn't quite there I'd play Allen in the number 10 and tell him to hassle Stones into a mistake.

Assuming Arnie is fit: Grant Bardsley Erik Muniesa Ryan Cameron Whelan Arnie Sobhi Diouf Shaqiri I agree with this we have to just have a go, their defence is shocking and doesn't like pace or pressure it's a bit of a we will score more than you scenario. Gung ho I know but we having nothing to lose he should play this team and just tell them to go out and enjoy themselves and don't over think it No doubt Hughes will start with Walters and Crouch though!!

I remember what happened the last time he put out the team a lot on here wanted. We lost two nil to a Championship side. Mr Hughes is the manager, he stands or falls by his decisions, he is closest to the players on a daily basis and we as supporters should get behind whatever team he chooses. Remember everyone is wiser with hindsight.

I believe Man City have only kept 2 clean sheets at home in the Premier League so far.
I can see us scoring, similar to our away game to Liverpool it's just if we can hold on for longer or not.
I would start with Berahino, we need pace in this game.

Remember everyone is wiser with hindsight. I'll be honest, no-one wanted the midfield in that team. It was obviously suicide to play all attacking midfielders. What was wanted (and still is) was introducing of the flair players again, that doesnt mean stick them all in at the same time with no defensive player behind, and then say 'Told you so' when it obviously doesn't work.

Just predicting that, In case Arnatuvic is fit he may start with Walters/Shaqiri and insert Ramadan in the 2nd half
