Hull Preview
We are back again. A home match against a Hull side who have finally found some form. Unluckily for Hull, they still have no pace and have nothing that will hurt City other than set pieces. It is so difficult for them, they parked the bus at home with everyone inside their own half. Their attackers aren't quick enough to hoof to so I expect City to dominate this game. If they score early, the game could be beyond Hull from there. City need 2 to bring Hull out to play and then they can find gaps. I'd be tempted to keep Raheem and Sane on the bench and let the more technically gifted players play. Put KDB on the right and let him cross, he is the best at crossing even if he isn't playing well. He will create 2 or 3 huge chances to score even when he isn't playing well so I'd use him out wide. Nolito on the other flank would be nice and Sergio up top. Silva in the middle and with Yaya fully rested, I'm sure he will feature. Delph played so well that he could feature too. This time, dinho would be rested. I see no reason why Zaba cannot play in this game, no what so ever. Sagna out injured and Dinho isn't the best at RB, maybe try him at LB or rest him. Clichy has played the last two games. But knowing Pep, we will play a back 3 and Navas at wing back. Funny. Who knows. Bravo could even play. Pep for you.
I really can't see Hull doing anything in this game. They might sneak a goal but I wouldn't bet on it. I'll say 3-0 City but 3-1 is a possiblity because City are so bad at defending. Otamendi is on 9 yellows and Pep doesn't seem to play him. I really think 3 at the back will be used tomorrow with Stones in the middle, Kompany on the right and Kolarov on the left and Dinho or Clichy and Navas on the wing backs. I think Pep will sense their lack of pace and try and get as many forward as possible.
Team prediction:
Caballero - Navas - Clichy - Kompany - Stones - Kolarov - Yaya Toure - Silva - De Bruyne - Nolito - Aguero.
