Is the game definitely on? Only ask because I was looking at BBC Sport there and there's nothing about it in the headlines.

Other than the fixture being listed on Sly Sports football page, no mention of the game itself, no preview etc......

Neil Swarbrick is the ref tonight, we've had him twice this season both away, at Swansea & Bournemouth, games which we won.

I don't think he is a fan of Sterling though who was booked in both games!

Also in the book were Sagna, Kolarov & Fernandinho at Swansea and then Sane & Toure at Bournemouth.

As OP says we really could do with putting a dent in that GD between us and Spuds whilst pulling away from Scouse and Gooners.

Though we should win comfortably, i'd be happy with three points tonight, however they come

Just leave 10 minutes before full time like the rest of us do. You'll be home in no time.

[CTID Hants]

No Sterling, not even on bench

[carl_feedthegoat]

He has to stop fuckign around with the defense ffs!

[lovecity8utd]

Interesting that silva is rested and in bench. Hope we thrash them and avoid any players being kicked and injured.

[Wonderwall]

Sterling rested or injured?
Silva rested
Stones rested
Kompany not in the 18
Aguero Captain

[PaulieIrish]

No Sterling in the squad?

No Kompany either.

Merlin on the bench.

But still a good squad, should be more than good enough to win.

[CTID Hants]

KO is 19:45?

They were very late getting team sheet out, either stoke running late or time advertised is wrong and it's 20:00 KO?

[PaulieIrish]

ko is 8pm

8 pm kick off.

[sheblue]

no silva is a bit of a worry, we will miss him, but i suppose its necessary given the games ahead.
