Ramsdale White Gabriel Saliba Timber Rice Odegard Havertz Saka Nketiah Martinelli

If Zinchenko is fit, he plays for Timber. I think we'll have a lot of the ball, and thus, can expect Rice to be a stopper. Let Havertz run in the midfield and be the highest player on the field quite often, leaving Eddie available to poach some chances.

Fact is, I could easy switch Partey for Havertz, Trossard for Nketiah.

This is crazy. A formation/setup completely untried during preseason. What's Mikel cooking?

Had a wedding last night and got 3 hours sleep. It's going to be a miracle if I make it for KO tomorrow.

Really hoping we can open the season with the win. On paper this should be a pretty easy opener, but I'm worried last seasons success might have the players feeling extra stress.

Delay at the turnstiles; game starts half an hour late. Probably cuz of the new system.

Let's batter them. I would really like some revenge for our away lose.

Word is, we didn't get the paperwork done in time for Raya. Wonder if we'll see Hein or Okonkwo — and which one — on the bench then. (or possibly even Hillson)

Do you guys think we'll see a different starting 11 from the Community Shield match?

Flo just posted the lineup on his Instagram story. Feels very backhanded to me.

Let's see if Trossard starts. The man deserves it

Already plan to make a big old pot of coffee tomorrow am since got evening shift tonight.

I'm hoping we see Trossard start.

So excited for the season to be back, City set the pace, let's keep up! COYG!

Potential 3-2-2-3 with back 3. No Magalhaes, Kai and Ø behind front 3.

Havertz over Trossard :(

Someone's gonna get fired or have to write a full length report regarding this ticketing system lol

We got a match thread going?

Low intensity match, Zina has to start.

😑 were there any problems the other day with entry?

Man Cheaty scored, proving to everyone all over the world that cheating wins.
