Question is will Pelligrini be stupid enough to play 4-4-2 when it clearly isnt working. I'm guessing Milner will start to shore up that midfield.

Key battles...
I think we'll go as a 4-3-3 with Fellaini in there among Carrick and Herrera but with the freedom to go forward and put pressure on Kompany.
Blind and Young up against Navas and Sagna.
Rooney and Mata up against Dimichelis and Clichy.
We need our CBs and the likes of Carrick to stifle Yaya and Aguero.
Valencia up against Silva will be our weak spot imo.

All in all for the first time in a while I'm looking at that and feeling somewhat confident about this fixture.

There's a chance Navas might start on the left....this is where we've struggled against them recently so Mata/Valencia v Clichy/Navas could be the key

Both there look dodgy defensively tbh. Dont think Navas is 2 footed so he'll always be cutting in to cross which takes a bit away from his game imo if he's played down the left.

Nice to see a City fan. Thought you guys were all but extinct. That mutant, disfigured thing that stalks the forum barely constitutes a human so we dont count bullet.

Bold prediction for a team whos season finished months ago though. I would say Aguero is unlikely to score as hes barely scored this year...

Bastard always scores against us though.

There's Aguero.

Ya ya and Silva if they can be arsed, depends.

The rest are bang average.

Yaya left city in the summer. Some say he was good pre xmas. He wasnt, hes been awful all season.

Silva and Aguero are the two threats. Milner will be a pain but lacks the quality.
 
I rate Miller, I wish we'd signed him ourselves.

Still, he's more a work horse, not something to be especially worried about.

So long as the numb ****er doesn't play 4-4-2 yet again,it's an away win for me
If you see the bone-idle bosnian lining up next to Aguero then we're probably ****ed however

You will probably play 442. Is Kompany out then? Mangala is dreadful so we will get some joy off him.

With City's current form, you should smash them.

No excuses for finally getting that monkey off your back

The turn around is simply amazing if we did beat them that easily.

Who would have believed that a few months ago? City were being bracketed with Chelsea as guaranteed top 2. To even think of beating them and finishing above them was plain madness.

Today there is no reason why we couldn't thrash them 2 or 3-0.

Don't believe the hype,he's a very good player
Kompany has been our worst defender this season and his diving in and lack of positional sense has caused a lot of mangala's struggle to settle in the PL.
Demichellis and Mangala will be ok together
