I have a bad feeling we'll lose 1-0 hope I'm wrong

We will smash these today. Can see at least four goals for us today.

City's version of Han Solo.

I have a soft-spot for Sunderland and hope they stay up. However, I hope we crush them today.

I hope we smash em 6 - 0 or more just to look at Quinns bitter fucking mug!

With both our left backs fit again, I guess (also hope) it will be four at the back. In that case who will not start in midfield: Fern, KDB or Yaya ??

I'm with Moonchesteri, in being worried about this fixture.

Three points are more vital than how we achieve it and I'd settle, happily or otherwise, for the proverbial, scrappy 1-0 win.

Gollum will have them kicking and fowling, as in his old Everton days against us and if Sergio gets a bad knock because of all that and the lack of protection from the referee, that would give serious concerns over where we would finish at the end of the season.

Anyway, I'm never happy about being happy about the outcome of a fixture.

I'm more concerned with how Otamendi will deal with the physical presence that is Jermaine Defoe.

[Justified logic]

Going on form, we should win and win easily but I'm apprehensive about dominating and not putting them to the sword, or the officials not giving us fair calls, but most worried about injuries to key players, particularly Aguero.

[CTID Hants]

City XI | Caballero, Sagna, Stones, Kolarov, Clichy, Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, Silva, Sterling, Sane, Aguero #safcvcity #mcfc

I guess Tintin was due a rest. Will hopefully do him good.

[CTID Hants]

Subs | Bravo, Otamendi, Fernando, Nolito, Iheanacho, Delph, De Bruyne #safcvcity #mcfc

[Justified logic]

Always a relief to see Caballero there in the line-up.

If this side doesn't put these jokers to the sword we don't deserve to win things. They are bottom of the league for a reason

Disappointed not to see Garcia on the bench. Thought he did well in midweek

[john@staustell]

Nah he's put Kolarov in for his pace

I'm having difficulty identifying this new, confident you NB..........and this comes at a time when we're having to operate without our first choice striker, because of injury
