Elano should be fit as sven has slagged him off all week for being to soft and coming off when theres nowt wrong with him, told him to toughen himself up as theres a lot more harder players than Brown in the Prem. Wouldent mind but he was only trying to prove a point as City sent him on his way when he was in his pomp, that should have been explained b4 the game as he's a shitehouse.

City have been missing width for a while now booboo even when Petrov was in the side as lately he's insisted coming inside or going over to the right wing when things werent going that well.

Onuoha being out will be a loss as Richards is also missing but it could be a blesssing in disguise tell the truth as Corluka will step in as a cental defender which IMO is his best position and Sun takes over down the right which will give City some width and hopefully this week Sven will play Castillo on the left rather than Ireland as he's naturally left footed.

Then Ireland rather than Vasell will play on the right wing which should give City balance down both flanks, either way the absentees open up things for Geovanni who has not been given a fair crack of the whip yet and could do a job on either flank or cover for Elano.
