    Team I think will start

    Hart
    Zabaleta Kompany DeMichellis Kolorov
    Fernando Fernandinho
    Jovetic yaya Silva
    Dzeko

    Liverpools weak points are undoubtedly the full back areas so expect zabaleta and Kolorov will be given license to really get at them with the 2 holding players to cover in behind.
    Be surprised if Rodgers doesn't target our left side where Kolorov was taught by glen Johnson all he knows about defending so fernando/Fernandinho will need to really keep tabs on Stirling and the runs of Coutinho but that's less of an issue if we can we starve them of the ball more than we have done recently.
    I would try and unsettle Henderson,he more than anyone makes them tick so it will be important for Jovetic and Dzeko to work hard off the ball to not allow him time on the ball setting the tempo.
    Can't see it lacking in goals with the pace in both sides but expect it to be close.City to nick it 2-1

    Hope you are right.
    City need to be up to speed tonight as Liverpool are quick. I think we could well struggle with players not quite up to full fitness.

    I'd be surprised if City don't win the title again.

    I only managed to catch last 20 minutes because of work- we were playing well at that point, but I guess by then City could afford to sit back a little.

    Not to me, though I do not want Chelsea to win it . Do your job we can do you a favour at Stamford Bridge.
