No Stones Left Unturned
John Stones returns to the fold, alongside Fernandinho, and it remains to be seen if he still has the odd mistake in him. You suspect he might well.
Don’t expect any seismic shocks at the Etihad today but that doesn’t mean we can’t go for a plucky outsider in the first goalscorer market. Atalanta were smashed 5-1 in midweek, but they were still the ones to break the deadlock.
At a massive 28/1 with Bet365, John McGinn is making a name for himself at the big grounds already this season. The Villa man has netted at White Hart Lane and the Emirates so this would make an illustrious hat-trick. Back him each-way in order to get paid out at 1/3rd odds if he scores later in the match instead.
Man City have some well-documented concerns at centre back. Their visitors, who have scored seven over two consecutive victories, could enjoy some attacking adventures.
