A lot of chat about how Gundogan might play without KDB, so we re-watched Man City v Villa. KDB subbed off on 59 min & after that...

1️⃣ Gundogan starts from a deeper position than Bernardo / Foden. Foden & Jesus seem much further forward on counter attacks...

2️⃣But arriving late in the box meant Gundogan "could" have scored a few goals

Check out the shot map after KDB was subbed off, on @UnderstatXG - Villa were just about able to get enough men behind the ball to block these shots.

Will WBA and SHU be able to block these shots?

4️⃣ As mentioned above, Man City play WBA SHU BUR. All 3 will likely pack men behind the ball, to stifle the City attack - so Gundogan starting from a deeper position, and arriving late in the box may actually be a good thing - he's also scored recently from distance v CHE & CRY..
CAVEATS

5️⃣Sterling came off on 71 for Mahrez. Only saw 10+ min of Sterling without KDB. Jesus on for KDB. While I expect Jesus to start v WBA, Pep can play Sterling/Foden as a false 9, which changes things

6️⃣Just 30 min of gametime. And Pep loves to tinker
