Well - many sites have Man. Citeh bouncing back from their shock Cardiff defeat.

Odds are on Man. Citeh to get goals (Dzeko), but we're reckoned to hold up well and, maybe, get goal/s of our own (no Kompany/ dodgy Hart?)

Head says 3/4-1; heart says 1-1.
 
1-1

Dodgy defending from Man City gifting us an equaliser after being slaughtered for most of the game but defending resolutely
 
it will be interesting to see how the Manchester city players cope with the pressure of the crowd if we can keep a clean sheet for the first 20 minutes or so, Bruce Snr will be up for getting 3 points out of the match, due to his former club as will several of our players (How is my audition for a match summariser on the TV going?).

It will either be very close, we nick a small victory or we get thrashed - yes that is stating the bleeding obvious

Bruce wont set his team out looking for a win. He will keep it tight, make sure we dont give them an easy game and look for a goal on the break. He knows full well we are in our own mini-league, any points form the top 6-8 teams are Brucie Bonuses.
 
I think we should play with Aluko up front, to allow for quick, counter attacking football.

Apparently Man City have been playing through the middle a lot, so we'll be looking to get Brady and Aluko on the ball as much as possible.
 
After being beaten away at Cardifif last time I expect a backlash tomorrow in front of their own fans.

I hope that our defence can withstand their pressure.

Would take a draw now. I fear at least a 2-0 loss
