I'm not holding out much hope for this one, but the 'football is a funny game' factor has to come in at some point! I also agree that the game will centre on the midfield battle. City need to press hard, break up some of the service to Suarez, and counterattack when possible. My key would be to play Olsson WL to add pace on the break, energetic pressing and tracking back when possession is lost.
Pressing is the key, to often away from home we are cut to ribbons because we passively sit off in pretty lines. The formation is a mute point as long as we continue to invite pressure. Bah!
