His injured. And if he's not, he will be by the time he's done his boots up.

If he goes two up front, I'd play Jovetic behind one of the others. It's probably better to start him, as at least if he breaks down again, there's a sub available. Bringing him on always risks finishing the game with 10. And it's about time we found out what we paid for.

Rag at work, leaving early for their game with Hull, said 'Don't screw it up tomorrow, I can't stand seeing those Liverpool media types gloating'. Manchester united behind City for once?

The guy at my local post office collection office told me a few weeks back he was a Villa fan. I told him earlier today when I had to collect a parcel that I hoped we wouldn't 'fall out' over tomorrow night.
He said he'd be rooting for us - but he asked that we don't humiliate them, so I said I'd see what I could do.

ANYBODY but Liverpool he said: so much for 'The People's Club'!
Even VILLA fans can't stand them; and would prefer Mega-Bucks City to win it!

No way is Jovetic a starter; even if we managed to get him to keep his mouth shut.
I could see Negredo starting though: he's ready to have both arms ripped from his shoulder sockets to prove he's got 'the right stuff'.

Just taking a straw poll in my office of, people don't like Rodgers and this general feeling of entitlement that Liverpool fans feel to winning. They feel they are owed it because of the history of the club, Hillsborough and all that.

Need to be positive. Our home record is very good. Scored buckets of goals at home and conceded 13. We are on 80 points and that is no accident. We have vastly experienced players who have played in massive games for club and country. Like 2 years ago the prize is in sight. I don't envisage compliancy. A few nerves maybe in the first 15 mins but thereafter we should take control. The crowd need to play their part. It'll still be nerve wracking though.

Not sure if this belongs in here, but I'm hearing/reading that villa hasn't sold out tomorrow, and the majority of tickets left are being brought by scousers? Anyone heard about this?

My youngest brother is a Bin Dipper. I've been having difficulty persuading him that them not having won a title in 24 years doesn't even begin to compare with us not having won in 44, by the time we did win.
Quite apart from the number they did win

Please just win this. No banana skin bullshit please.

It is funny to see how many neutral fans prefer City to win it over Liverpool.... "People's Club" my arse.

No Benteke and possibly Agbonlahor for them is good news. Aguero being out, not so much.

Silva off Dzeko and Fernandinho in for Garcia are the only changes needed for me.

2.45am kick off in this neck of the woods, better be worth it.

Garcia can stay in there for me, he adds more stability in front of the back 4 than Fred does.
