Is that a first half prediction or full game's?

[Tony P]

3-0
4-1
5-0
So I'm going for 6-0.

Well if you stop using the phrase , it might help you.

[city9_4eva]

does anyone not get nervous once they've made a score predictions? I cant bring myself to even say we will win. Because I hate it when it bites you in the arse!! 'I hope we win'! come on city!! Here's to you Vincent Kompany....

[Twobob]

After 3 a-class performances the lads should be flying high, expect we'll start at 100 miles an hour and really hit their defence early doors. 3-1 for me.

[Beefymcfc]

Are we due a decent away performance? I'm confident in this one but I'm not sure if we'll see the same scoreline as we have in the last few games. Aguero's been a key player for us, dragging defences around and getting in amongst it. Who's going to take up that slack?

I'm going for a 1, maybe 2-0 and I'll be a very happy camper if we do it with style. My only worry is the speed of the Villa squad which could cause a few problems on the break. Apart from that, I think we'll be coming away with the points.

Come On The Blues!!!

I think I had us down for 3, which shouldn't be too hard if we can continue the same intensity we've had in the last few games.

Navas will run riot against his old teammate and without Benteke I don't see them as a huge threat to our back line.

[Moonchesteri]

Villa Park has been a decent hunting ground for us so fingers crossed it continues and we come up with three points. will be interesting to see the lineup as well, I got a feeling Jovetic will start with one of the big lads (the other will then start vs Bayern)

COME ON CITY!!

If Aguero is out I would say that's a given. The midfield pretty much writes itself at the moment and at the back it's a question of Clichy being fit enough and Nastasic or Lescott.

I don't think this applies anymore. These days you never know which City you're gonna get.

[dazby]

0-5 to the City, Milner to have a day out.

[Moonchesteri]

CITY: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Kolarov, Navas, Fernandinho, Toure, Milner, Dzeko, Negredo

Milner instead of Nasri is a surprise for me and I expected Jovetic to play too. Come on City!

[Saul Goodman]

Great to see Milner rewarded for an amazing performance.

[Cit.revenge]

we play with two wingers

[Green & Blue]

Looks a good line up today, should have way too much for Villa.Surprised Nasri is not playing but I presume The Engineer is keeping him fresh for the Bayern game.

[Moonchesteri]

Teamsheet has confirmed late change, so City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Kolarov, Milner, Fernandinho, Toure, Nasri, Dzeko, Negredo

Yeah he's probably thrilled at the chance of playing against villa. Bayern Munich are such a bunch of sad cloggers. Who needs champion's league anyway.
