Big test tonight, I'm predicting a Cheski 1 City 3 scoreline.
Aguero, Siva and Balo the scorers.

Could go either way; they'll really raise their game i think - let's face it they have to. We're capable of win but I'd take a draw.

Heart says 2-1 head says score draw which i would take.

agree, this one is very tough one to predict but I'm not feeling confident this time.

Working tonight so don't know whether to Sky+ and avoid the score or to listen to the radio? Hmmm
Hope they really fancy this one cos it's a huge chance to take a big step towards the title.

If we play the best we can, we'll win. A lot depends on whether AVB's seiege mentality pays off. Oh, and yes, Sturridge will score.

Win tonight and we should be safe from relegation

2-2 I reckon

Will be tough and we are maybe catching them at the wrong time given their sudden resurgence. A draw would be a positive result, a win of course would be lovely, especially given Stretford will be looking at this game as a loseable one for us.

On the good side, after tonight we will have played Utd, Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea all away - a draw tonight means we would have taken 8 pts from those 4 games which would be a top return, though 10 points sounds even nicer. Utd meanwhile have yet to play at City, at Spurs, at Chelsea and at Arsenal.

I think we will win. Its in our own hands because if we play as good as we can we are the better team. Thus it is down to us and our mentality.

I think we are really up for this game, as we've been for most big games under Mancini, and thus we'll win it nomatter what the oppo throws at us.

If we go there and play to our strengths and capabilities , I see a win for us 3.1 . We are on fire at the moment . Where's your faith ? 48 goals in 14 games .... Incredible or what !!

Feeling negative about this one fearing one of those nights and a defeat.I expect Chelsea to come out fast and strong and,as City tend to start slowly ,the key will be whether we can avoid conceding in that time.All square at half time and the game is ours.

Confident about tonight.

Their defence and defensive cover in midfield is poor. I hope we have a real go at them as our forward players will cause them problems. I also hope Bobby has picked up on the position AVB asks his centre halfs to fill when Cech has the ball and the square balls they play. It's cost them a goal in recent weeks and nearly cost them against Valencia.

We just need to watch Sturridge and Mata, limit their space, keep them quiet and we'll win the game.

i think the Norwich game was probably the only game all season ive felt positive about. (im a pessimistic twat when it comes to city).

However, i believe we're definitely the better team and a win tonight would be enormous for us going into the next month. I cant see their defence coping too well with our attack, and if our midfield plays to their strenghts we should win this. As mentioned earlier - Chelski's recent return to form has come against some weak sides. Dippers have shown that theyre easily beatable, QPR too.

We ARE the best team in the league, we just need to play like it.

come on city!!!

It's going to be a tight affair (PHWOAR!) and I want 3 points.

Tough game but if we play the way we did at spurs/utd we will be too strong 1-3 @ 20/1

trust me 0 4 for city , tonight we denonstrate our power and why we aforce this season

Ok well i am going to go with the trend we have set so far away to the other "top clubs" and say 7-1 city.

According to AVB we are the media darlings and the press love us. I think the pressure has got to him and when he takes the trip back through that revolving door at stamford bridge he will need a good few months off to get his shit together.

I know we won't beat them 7-1 but i do hope we keep to the trend and give them a good hiding, keep highlighting the gulf between us and the rest of the so called challengers.

Quite simply I think, if we score first we will win.

1-1...in a match that's fucking WAY too edgy for all of us.

Like others, i wouldn't fucking spill tears or bloodshed with a draw to be honest. I think Chelsea are finding their feet after AVB has eaten his humble pie...he'll start to follow Roberto's lead of keeping it tight at the back to build up into his pressing Barca-style game later in the year or next season, which is unfortunate for us that this fixture wasn't a month ago, since we'd have smashed in their collective back door then. Now, it's a fuclin draw i believe.
