Can't wait ... a little over five hours to team announcement, and six to kick-off ...

Oh, and in the light of Negredo being available, here's my revised team prediction:

Hart
Zaba - Komps - Demi - Kola
Navas - Ferdy - Yaya - Silva
Beast - Aguero

Score Prediction remains the same Spurs 2 - 5 City

C'mon City!

PS. Given Chelsea is next, and depending on how the game is shaping up, we could see Dzeko and Jovetic in second half as well.

Excited much!!! And so hoping and confident of a win!
Not posted for a few days as been away with Goaters103 wifey and lovely son at an amazing inclusion conference! !! (Thanks for the programme Lee!)

Finding it difficult to catch up on everything on here and rest if the world! Someone said we were very very close to signing Sagna is there any truth in this???

Fingers crossed for more goals from Serg and hopefully Neggers may have some involvement (again not sure what situation is injury wise? ??). Plus would love to see jovetic bag a goal or two!!!!!

I'd be happy with a draw here

I don't understand people being happy with a draw here, we beat them 6-0 last time ffs.

I'm not saying we WILL win, but we are definitely good enough to. If we play our best then we will win, they aren't anywhere near as good as we are. If we have an off day then we could end up drawing or even losing of course, but I don't really think that will happen. A draw is not a good result for us and if that happens Chelsea will probably end the day top, and it should be us.

Sagna is out of contract in the summer and refusing to re-sign. So he's obviously signed up somewhere. But he's nearly 31 and I just cant see City signing him.

I am fairly sure that The Count convinced them at half time on Saturday that there is no room for complacency.

All the Spuds fans i know are praying for a point out of this game.

Like others i am nervous, so lets hope the team are up for it!

Time of the season where, as long as we continue to win, every game is arguably the biggest game of the season. We've made some big statements at home, would love to do it away. Doesn't have to be a ton of goals, just a convincing and dominating performance.

I don't think their manager is a master tactician, so it'll be up to us to perform. They be out to prove something after the last time we played them, but if we play to our ability and get stuck in, we should win. I'm nervous as well for this one so an early City goal or two would be wonderful.

COME ON CITY!

Never been too impressed by Sagna tbh. But Kai J Three said in facebook something about getting someone from Arsenal didn't he so maybe there is some truth in this?!

I think we're more than capable of coming away with three points here but lads need to be up for it as Spurs have been a lot better under Sherwood. Ade is in great form too so we need to be careful with him.
my prediction is Ade 1, City 2!

COME ON CITY!

The time is now! All we have to do is beat Spurs. I don't care how we do it, whether we put 1 past them and defend for the rest of the game or keep up our average of scoring 4. C'mon City!!!

After the 1st half of the Watford game I want to see every player working their socks off and leaving everything on the field.

Win and go top of the league, can't be better motivation that that!

There won't be many more chances to take first place, outside of playing Arse and Chelsea on the coming months.

This is a huge game.

Of course there will be. This is just the next game and the team needs to win it.

Just played the game on FIFA so I'm going to use that as my prediction:

2:0 City (Navas, Aguero)

Thank you for being voice of reason.

Big game obviously but when you want to win the league aren't all of them?

Indeed, one game at a time. Need to get three points tonight. For one reason only, we knock
'wengers chosen few' off the number one spot.

Then concentrate on maureens knee slide.

I fancy an end to end thriller which we win by one goal.I hope Vinnie is fit as he didn't train on Monday ( did I forget to mention that?)
I am sure he is fine and was just getting over a niggle.We need him to sort Ade out and all will be well.
