Apparently in the XI v XI scrimmage, this was the first team:

It'd be fine if we saw that line up... I'd prefer Lescott never to play again, and I'm not sure about Crespo, ,Veretout is a bit unknown quantity, but it's different to how we've lined up so far, which hopefully is a good thing as we've hardly been nailing it so far. Couldn't do any worse than lose, which is what most (including me) predict.

I'm going to assume that okore isn't fit. If he was fit id have him straight in for Crespo

Id like to see one of these lineups.

  

                        Guzan

Hutton     Richards    Crespo      Amavi

                       Sanchez

            Veretout             Gana

Gil                                             Grealish

                       Ayew

or

 

                       Guzan

Hutton        Richards      Crespo      Amavi

                Gana          Sanchez

Sinclair                 Gil                     Grealish

                      Ayew

FWIW City have only scored 4 goals in their last 4 away PL games and we're 11th in the league in terms of defensive stats. It's our lack of goals that's killing us. I wouldn't be surprised by low scoring affair. I'm going to say 2-1 to City but hope for a draw

Strange... Until I quoted this post, I could only see 10 players in your first team, and 9 players in your second team!

VillaTalk has gone to complete shit in the past month.

Considering he's got this history of picking teams/formations depending on on the opponent, I am not going to read too much into his team selection today. Having said that, if certain players don't start or don't even make the bench when fit, I'll be a bit concerned. Not so much with Garde but, the player.

Bacuna had Sterling in his pocket in the cup semi last season but that version of Sterling wasn't switched on or too interested. 

I'd like to see Gana and Sanchez in front of the back four with Gana being the player breaking with the ball. I'd have Gil as the third midfielder but further up the pitch. I'd play Sinclair wide left and Ayew wide right and any one of Gestede, Gabby or Kozak up front. Amavi and Hutton at full back with Richards and Clark at centre back. Guzan will be inspired today, he owes us from the last time we played them.

Kozák is a lot better at hold up play than gestede. If gabby I anywhere near the team I think ill cry.
