Will be interesting too see how Mancio lines us up for this one, I personally rekon he will blend a mixture of youth and experience. Think a few will be rested with the Rags in mind.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - Given

- - Richards - - Boyata - - Kompany - - Garrido

- - - - - - - - - - - - de Jong

- - - - - - - - - - SWP* - - - Barry

Subs:
Taylor

Tevez
Ireland
Sylvinho
Zabaleta
Petrov

*= if fit

We still owe 'Boro one from that 8-1 shite a few years back under Sven.

I'm going 2-0 City with Weiss and a first of the season for Robinho

9-1 would be nice
thanks

I expect a comfortable win.We also have the CC on Wed so i reckon a few players rested for Sat.Ala Bellers and maybe Barry.

Boro have started to get their act together...I dont think this will be easy

Boro 1 City 2

I don't know if it's me but I have 'Typical City' ringing in my ears. Remember Forest last season, doing crap in the league then come to our place and bang in 3 against us? A seriously miserable night!!!

Let's hope that the tag has truly been layed to rest eh!!!

What's the latest on RSC at the moment following his good performance against Sunderland? Is it just a niggle or another RSC special?!

They've won 2 of their last 11 (Manager sacking form that is ;) )

But i agree it won't be easy - it'll be their cup final.

Boro nil, City one.

Cant believe he will actually 'rest' people. But anyone carrying a knock or injury can be given the extra time to recover before SCUM, definitely Craigie boy.

Given
Zaba Richards Kompany Garrido
SWP/Weiss? DeJong Barry Rigsby
Tevez Robinho


I have absolutely no information on Santa Cruz so I'm not sure about that.

Adam Johnson is the man to watch so both Garrido and Sylvinho will worry me a bit at left back!

I've absolutely no idea what kind of line-up Mancio will put out there but still I'm confident we'll go through.
1-2 win for City.

Hope his hamstring is still dodgy he is far too good to be at Boro

Indeed very good player.

Boro 0 - 1 CITY

Robi with the winner and team to play for me would be;

...............given

zabba...micah...vince...gaz
.......de jong....barry
weiss.....................petrov
..................robi
.............rsc

I think Weiss and Boyata might play too, and I'd go for a City 3 Boro 0, Tevez Robinho and RSC (if plays) as the scorers.

Really do hope Weiss get's a start, will be great for his development to get 90 mins in an important game like this.
