Saturday 17th August 5.30pm
Premier League
Etihad Stadium
Our first game resulted in our first win and we made very hard work of a resilient Villa side.
City will be a much tougher test, as they demonstrated with their usual demolition job at the Olympic Stadium.
They'll be looking for a fast start to the campaign, as they went to the wire last time and won't want a repeat.
It's our second Saturday evening kick-off already, so we should be getting well used to them.
Can we cause an upset and shake things up or will they continue their normal league form?
City swept the board domestically last season, winning an unprecedented domestic treble.
The only side to stop them winning a trophy was us and it happened in controversial style.
They still didn't sit on their laurels though, strengthening further in the transfer window.
Angelino, Rodri and Cancelo cost about £130m and make their squad even better.
City face Bournemouth and Brighton next, where they'll expect to pick up six points.
This match will be seen as a marker and a potential banana skin, so they'll be going all out from the off.
Our side isn't 100% by a long shot and is missing players to injuries, suspensions and fitness problems.
It's going to be a big ask of Pochettino and his players to get a result, I fear.
Last season's visit to the Etihad was quite a strange one, mainly due to the timing of it.
It came just a few days after we'd put them out of the Champions League at the same venue and it showed.
Foden scored an early goal and many feared a pummeling, but the team recovered and made a game of it.
Ederson put in a MOTM performance to deny Son repeatedly as well as various teammates.
Walker also escaped a good handball call in the box, but the solitary strike remained the difference:

The match at an NFL scarred Wembley was similarly competitive and ended with the same scoreline.
The goal even came at roughly the same time, as a mistake by Trippier resulted in a Mahrez finish.
Both sides had chances to add to the scoreboard, but spurned them time and again.
Lamela's was probably the best of the lot, as a bobble saw him slice over with ten minutes to go:

Son and Foyth serve the last game of their respective suspensions, while the defender is still injured.
Sessegnon and Alli are still out too, while Davies is back in training and may be in contention.
Sane is a long-term injury for City and both Mendy and Cancelo won't feature because of fitness.

How would you like to see us line up for this one and would you like to see much change from the Villa game?
Which formation and tactics would you go with and would you pick any of the new players?
Should we approach City more defensively, press from the front or go all out and attack them?
