Second week running we have to assume a home win here. It should really be 2+ goal buffer at final whistle. Hardest thing about fixtures like this is players not to getting too blase.

No Carlos yet, Yaya cleared fit is he?

If he isn't I'm glad it's this game he's unfit for. Give Dzeko a go I reckon.

De Jong
AJ - Silva - Nasri
Dzeko - Balotelli

Let aguero, ricahrds, barry, and milner get some rest

yaya has no injuries. according to bobby at the press conference this morning.
Think silva needs a rest really. Let nasri do the creative work.
Richards can probably play but he played mid week...so dont mind if him or zaba.
give clichy a run maybe.
Hart

Zaba- Komps - Lescott - Clichy

Barry- Nasri
AJ - - Kolarov
Balotelli
Dzekooooooo

That too. I think 'cricket score' is thrown around too willy nilly. There should be a hierarchy. Maybe football score - snooker score - rugby score - cricket score.

Yeah, actually this would be a perfect game to rest silva now that you mention it. If anyone deserves a rest its him. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing Roberto only play him for the first half, build up a lead and then let the rest of the creativity flow through Nasri.
Every game counts now, cant be taking a risk, knowing that bolton will be defending all out looking to salvage a point.
For some reason thought I'm getting the feeling De Jong, is about to turn around his season, he looked pretty good against england.

Surely rugby before snooker? Rugby tends to be around the 20-30 a side level. Snooker can be anything from about 50 a side to a 100+ landslide (unless you're referring to frames in a match rather than points in a frame).

Football
Hockey
Snooker (Match)
Rugby
American Football
Snooker (Frame)
Basketball
University Challenge
Cricket

I was referring to frames in a match. And I was also waiting for someone like you to come and improve my list, which you did, so thanks. Now to forward it to all people who talk about sports everywhere.

This. No resting key players. We've often seen teams frustrate us for the first 30-45 mins. Once we score it's often a different kettle of fish so I'd much prefer to see him started then taken off once we're comfortable
