    Not sure who's fit or unfit, but this is who I'd play
    Mendy
    Dave Silva Rudiger
    James Kante Kovacic Chilwell
    Mount Havertz Werner

    Not necessarily our best team in my book, but our most successful. Actually I think Christensen instead of Silva is better.

    BUT and a big BUT Audi HAS to play his subs early if any player is off song. Don't wait until the last 10 minutes.
    Good luck, but I must admit I am not confident we can beat Villa, and Grealish will show us what a genuine world class midfielder can do,

    Not a bit confident either. With an all Villa crowd in as well they will get all the 50/50 calls...i don't mean to disparage refs, but it's human nature if there's a foul and thousands of fans are in your ear ! As regards team selection i don't want Kante risked in this match as we need him to be fully fit for City. He asked to be taken off on Tuesday with a hammy tweak.

    The day of reckoning is nigh. It has come to this one game that will measure our season and, I for one am glad we are playing away from home, because most of our abominations have been at The Bridge this season. Thus if we come out of the blocks like we have recently we will have it done and dusted by halftime, however with the goal scoring prowess of a one legged octopus we may be in for a tense time. Team for me
    Mendy
    Dave Silva Ruudi
    James Jorge Kova Chillers
    Mount Havertz CHO​

    Good team, I note Kante is not fit apparently so Jorge gets that place. I'd play CHO in front of James and Mount on the left, but hey, you're the Manager !!
    Hope the goal practice sessions went well, boy we need a couple this game.

    I want CHO coming in side from the left then having a pop at goal.

    Got there eventually but should have had it wrapped up after beating Arsenal, how we lost that I’ll never know.

    We’ve done well cause we haven’t had a striker all season, Jorginho 7 goals our top scorer...crying out for a 20 goal a season player, we’d have that won by HT if so like a lot of other games this season. Probably an unpopular opinion but I’d be trying to get Lukaku back. I really like Havertz as the “false 9” but he just isn’t prolific enough.

    Hopefully Mendy is fit for the final....

    Cheers to Spurs too, makes it even better that some of their fans were probably gutted they won today.

    A very good effort from all to get top 4, even thanks to the Spuds.
    I thought quite a few players look totally knackered and with their work load, it's no surprise. Time to take a decent rest before the Climax against a pretty impressive City.
    Off season will be dramatic with the number of possible exits and the few really crucial incomers. Havertz Werner and Ziyech all look to be better players with that season under the bridge. Audi has been tremendous, so lets' take care of City, and look forward to the next season.

    Say a prayer at the Ossie statue for Mendy to be fit
