    The future champs visit the current champs at the Etihad.

    After not getting out of 3rd gear v Villa we can look forward to an exciting match where Botman will get to put Haaland in his pocket and the Moretti drinking, spaghetti eating Toonali can continue where he left off.

    No idea which ****s are officiating.

    Hung to confirm.

    Going for a 2-1 win with Barnes and Gordon scoring for us. Foden to score for them

    I've got a strong feeling we'll get something from this. Us playing on the break and hitting them on the counter.

    No KDB.... Bound to be a last minute ****e pen to them.

    Barnes----------Isak-----------Gordon
    --Joelinton---Bruno---Tonali----------
    Burn-------Botman----Schar-----Trippier
    -------------------Pope----------------

    Score - Probably 2-1.

    Haaland, Alvarez, Isak

    I watched the match on Friday and from the way city played yes it will not be an easy match but I didn't see anything that would concern me, it will be a benchmark game though as will Liverpool be in the following match, I certainly think given yesterdays performance that we can beat them.

    No KDB and Gundogan and Mahrez gone, we might have a squeek.

    Got my ticket for this. Seem to be able to buy more with my City Membership so if anyone else wants one (apart from @Al-Rumayyans suit) let me know.

    Still seem to be plenty available.

    Nah, Almiron was poor last game. Keep switching it up, it's what better teams do.

    Still think we’re 3 shy of any realistic title challenge. Right wing, right centre back and left back. Understand we’re ahead of schedule and that’s a lofty aspiration but if we get Silva, Zaniolo and Estupinan/Dimarco we’d be set.

    Replace Zaniolo - his injury issues has made him lose the edge in my opinion

    No because Almiron is more expendable.

    Bollox!
    We could play Longstaff or Anderson instead of Bruno.
    Personally we don’t change line up. It worked.

    No top 4 team usually plays the same line up every week though mate.

    We have options now, but we'll see.

    Longstaff/Anderson in that CM would be a big downgrade. Trust in Bruno G.

    Indeed so no harm in replacing Bruno either

    No because no one else fills that role nearly as good. I don't ever want to see Longstaff in the deep lying role again.

    Bruno G has a lot of quality and will get back to where he was.
