If the leaked line-up is correct, it's hard to shake the feeling that Darmian and Blind are being scapegoated for the Arsenal disaster.

Valencia and Rojo as full backs. A winger's wet dream.Its the team I would have chosen apart from Darmian for Valencia.Praying for Herrera to start.10/11
He'll have Sterling in his pocket.Would prefer Darmian over Valencia.Valencia had a good game in Russia, he deserves his spot.
He was always going to start, idk why you are so surprised. MOTM on Wednesday and should be able to handle the pace of Sterling.
And Blind over Rojo.Yaya in the hole it seems
Who can we play at LB? Blind is too slow.....Sterling or De Bruyne would glide by him.
It was the expected choice, Darmian has really struggled so far against this sort of player being hooked off at HT twice.
You mean shut down the club, sell all players, assetts and pull out of football altogether?
So what's the line upHappy with that lineup tbf.Valencia and Rojo shouldn't be playing. But I assume Valencia is in for the pace of Sterling which is daft thinking if true, Rojo for the same reason but for De Bruyne/Navas?Good lineup, only would've thought both fullbacks would be different. Valencia gives us more going forward though, overlapping with mata.
Sadly they have toure as a 10 and pellegrini got some sense, so that's good for them, having an actual midfield now. Will be a tough game, but if we perform well we should win.11/11 for me
The best line up for City imo.
Blind's lack of pace would worry me. But without Shaw our LB spot is weak whatever we do. Hopefully Rojo can be better than he was in Russia.
That looks alright. Probably as good as could be expected (Rooney, excepted).
Darmian was just terrible in that game,no scapegoating.Toure as number 10 worries meQuite surprised at Blind being completely frozen out of the team.De Gea; Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Rojo; Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Herrera; Mata, Rooney, Martial.
subs: Romero, Blind, Darmian, Carrick, Lingard, Memphis, Fellaini.Kompany always returns to fitness in time for the derby. Watch him have a blinder. We never get to have a run at their fairly awful stand-ins.Eyes down for a full house
This. I think it's a very good decision to move him up the pitch for this one.3-1 CityRojo concerns me more than Valencia
But obviously I would have both blind and darmian in there if it was up to me
Maybe they are not fully fit
Yeah, well, who wasn't? He should get back into the team as he's a far, far better right-back than Valencia.
Valencia will flatten him.Darmian dropped? I thought he had been pretty good so far.Valencia and sterling have history, should be interesting.No Augero and no Silva.
I fancy us to nick it. 2-1 Utd i'm going with.
thats the spirit.3-1 City
Martial vs Sagna and Kompany lacking matchrhytm can be interesting.
Yeah he has been good mostly
Although some fans would have you believe after a handful of games he is the worlds best right back
Our quickest player against their quickest player.
This is a rare situation where I feel he's actually a better option at RB than Darmian.- Status
