A Sunday match this time round, 4pm kick off on Sky.

Bolton are not as good as they were last season, they've lost Elmander and Sturridge, and Lee is out for the season, and they have not really signed anybody of note. Tuncay is a good capture, but its been a long time since he's played regularly in the Premier League. They play nice football under Coyle, and that could work to our advantage. Defencively they aren't what they used to be, although Cahill is still a fantastic centre half.

Will Aguero start? Not sure, I'm sure we'd all love for him to, but I know Mancini will use him intelligently, especially with Spurs not too far away. I think he'll start Balotelli, as AJ was shite on Monday. No need to rotate just yet of course, but give it a few weeks and we'll be seeing the likes of Savic, AJ, Balotelli and Milner getting much more gametime.

Possible team:

-----------------Hart
Richards---Kompany---Lescott---Clichy
--------De Jong-----Barry
Silva----------Yaya-------Balotelli
-------------Dzeko.

Yeah, gutted for him. He's been fantastic for them, a great player to watch.

Looking forward to seeing Silva and Aguero linking up again.

1st vs. 2nd this match also :D

The Aguero-Silva-Dzeko connection last week looked beatiful. I'd love to see it happen again, expect for a longer period of time this week meaning Aguero starts. :D As for the game, 2-1 to City. We played terrific in the second half last week, and I expect the same to see the same thing against Bolton with a little more challenge this time. Our scorers will be Aguero and Yaya.

idk if de jong will be available for this game, he came off with an injury on monday. as for aguero, mancini said he is not sure if aguero is fit enough to start, and he will decide tomorrow. in the defence, lescott makes me nervous, the guy is so clumsy and has the worst first touch and as soon as opposition players near nim, he gets all scared and does something stupid, i think i would rather start savic.

..................dzeko
..balotelli......silva....aguero
...........milner.....yaya
clichy..kompany..savic..richards
.....................hart

btw, tevez is available and he will be on the bench

bench:
pantilimon
zabaleta
lescott
razak/kolarov
barry
johnson
tevez

Leave out Balotelli and you will win.

This will be very difficult game though. Should be a cracker for a neutral.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Milner, Dzeko, Kolarov, Aguero, Barry, Silva, Y Toure

Tevez on the bench :eek:

Edit: I guess it looks like something like this:

--------------------- Hart
Rcihards -- Kompany - Lescott -- Kolarov
------------- Y.Toure --- Barry
------ Aguero ------ Silva ---- Milner
--------------------- Dzeko


Maybe Milner next to Barry and Yaya as AMC?

i guess mancini feels that yaya still cant be used as a DM cuz he is fasting and i personally think he hasnt got his fitness and from last game he got tired very quick.

The last time Agüero played at the Reebok..he got sent off.
