FA Cup vs the League… what to do Sat vs City?

I suspect Silva will rest Mitro, Tom & possibly Wilson plus Tetris (due to injury).
So I expect Neco (no other RB in the squad) & Seri will start.
We need to be better defensively so would like to see if Chalobah's extra physical presence could make a positive contribution.
Also would expect Gaza to start as we have been regularly conceding ( no just down to Rodak I may add) so requires game time.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a front three of Muniz, Kebano & Knockaert!

Promotion is the priority. Besides, I really don't think we learn much from playing City.

Gazzaniga
Williams, Hector, Mawson, Bryan
Chalobah, Seri
Knockaert, Onomah, Cavaleiro
Muniz

Give Francois and Stansfield minutes off the bench.

Agree, full focus has to be on getting three points from the Millwall match on Tuesday.

I'd forgotten that Ivan Cavaliero is back to full squad participation, although he probably won't be match fit. Maybe a bench spot for Stansfield, Hilton, Pajaziti or Larkeche? The under 23 squad is bossing the league, & made up mostly of teenagers, so it might be good management to reward some of them with inclusion in the 1st team with front row seats at the Etihad, and a crowd of 50K.
