They went back to the Etihad.
Again, you're expecting City to lay down their dominance.
And actually, it was Man United who was struggling at the time coming up with that 1-0 win.
And that hurts the City fans because it's just a little knife in the back, a little needly point to stick them with when they go into work.
So,
They'll be desperate to put that right and show that they are the dominant team in Manchester this weekend.
I expect Pep to always tweak his line-up.
He's a manager who likes to rotate.
He has a squad which is very, very capable.
If you look at the first 11 and then what you... If you pick your first 11, for example, now, and then drew the second 11 as you see it on paper, most of those positions are pretty interchangeable and you don't actually lose a great deal of quality.
I mean, Pep always tries to pick a team on form, of course, and what he sees in training of the week.
But I think he also likes to just make sure that he manages people's minutes.
And I suppose...
A good example of that in the week was the fact that he took out Fernandinho, for example, gave him a bit of a rest, but equally took out Phil Foden and brought in David Silva.
So again, there's a couple of changes there which you perhaps wouldn't have expected against a lower league opponent.
But look, there's two games and Pep will be planning for both of these games.
No matter what he tells us in his press conference when he says, look, we're only looking at the next game.
He's not.
He knows full well he's got Man Utd away and then Arsenal in the middle of next week.
So he's got to manage the minutes and rotate the players.
