    It'll need more than crossed fingers, Mourinho takes this cup seriously and he'll put a strong team out - if we play like we did in the league match we'll give 'em a game.

    I'd be happy if he brought his control the ball boots

    I find it very strange that this away goals in extra time rule is a thing.

    Has a team ever lost a semi-final because of it? It's bloody unfair.

    Agree, the ruling seems daft - surely it would make more sense to do it after 90 minutes? Am pretty tempted to bet on a 3-1 win tonight though, that would be about as 'typical City' as you could get

    I think it's to try and make games that are tight, then a late away goal is scored and the tie is in essence over .

    Example tonight would be
    Under the old rule
    We're leading 2-0. Man U score in the 80th minute. Game over essentially.

    Under new rule
    As above except we would just need the 1 goal to take it to extra time. Game on

    Think that's the reasoning behind it.

    I predict they will both play at some point. Quite fancy us to score first.

    I can see heartbreak on the horizon tonight. 2-0 up with less than 10 left and they get one to go through.

    Think I'll have a bet.

    I predict neither will start and robbo won't play at all then we will sell him to Burnley for a fraction of his worth

    Here is the likely 18.

    GK (2) - Jakupovic, Marshall
    DF (5) - Robertson, Maguire, Elabdellaoui, Dawson, Tymon
    MF (7) - Meyler, Huddlestone, Clucas, Maloney, Weir, Evandro, Markovic
    AT (4) - Hernandez, Diomande, Niasse, Bowen

    Not sure whether Davies is available.

    He's easily forgettable.
