please pelligrini
Can someone post their possible line up??
I dont watch City matches at all..
No, I don't think LVG will drop Val either, he seems a bit fan. I just hope we get a real right back next season.Yea, I think Valencia is without doubt the "weakest link" right now in the first XI. For all his pace and strength he just doesn't seem to be consistent enough to not be replaced sooner rather than later. He seem to have a habit of making brain farts just like against Arsenal, and I just don't trust him enough for games like this.
I hope that I am proved wrong and that he performs against City, for he will almost certainly be starting anyway. I would also like to see Young since I trust him doing his job, however I am a bit worried that he is physically too weak to handle Citys' offense. I agree with you that I would prefer someone else in that RB position, but I don't think it is something LvG will be willing to gamble on. However, that may certainly be something that comes back to bite us in the rear next weekend..
He looked absolutely terrible and couldn't deliver a single decent cross or dribble past his opponent once.
Thanks. Just wanted to check how they would come, especially at our Valencia and Blind..@BobbyManc should be able to say.
Looking at their recent matches they don't really keep a constant lineup, but I imagine it'll be something like:
Hart
Zabaleta Kompany Mangala Clichy
Navas Toure Fernandinho Silva
Bony Aguero
With Demichelis, Milner and Dzeko being other possibilities
Fellaini Vs Toure?
What a great comebackClassic derbies: City 2 - United 3 (November 1993)

Peter Bolton, United fan from Manchester: "This was a really memorable derby. I remember particularly that there were United fans all over the ground that day who didn’t manage to get a ticket in the away end so just bought their tickets through City.
"We were 2-0 down at half-time but I thought we were the better team. Maybe I’m biased, but I thought that we could still come back and the moment Cantona scored our first you could just see the City players’ heads drop and I knew we were going to do it then. Ryan Giggs set-up Eric’s second, he had come off the bench for Kanchelskis during the days when Ryan couldn’t get in the team, which shows how good that team was!
"It was one-way traffic in the second-half and when Keane bagged the winner, sneaking in at the back post, we went absolutely ballistic. We went on to win the double that year and I still to this day think it was one of our best teams ever. It was one of the great occasions from one of the great teams at United."
His crossing really hasn't been his strong point this season, as many others have mentioned he has very few assists. Nor does he beat his man very often. He tends to recycle possession, stretch the offense and track back mostly. Which is great, I have no problem with him at all.
Unfortunately, they have what it takes to beat us. I don't think we'll completely slip out of form and go back to being tumescent, we will probably play at the same gear we did against Pool, but that won't be enough to get the better of City.
Good thing is we have a cushion. City and Chelsea just aren't in our league yet, hopefully we'll be right up there next season, but for now - they're a step ahead.
1-2.
This. City also has a knack of finishing their season strongly after some dodgy periods.Watch us inevitably lose this. We're undoubtably in better form, but City up their game against us constantly.

That's the idea.Keep up the pessimism, lads. We seem to perform the best when we're underdogs rather than favourites.
That's probably spot on. I think Demichelis will be suspended - he got 5th yellow against Palace, but not sure that's a good thing - Mangala is the better player in my opinion.@BobbyManc should be able to say.

If they play like that then I think we will win. Overwhelm the midfield with Herrera, Fellaini and Carrick.@BobbyManc should be able to say.
