Schalke1-3 City

I do normally like to see the team sheet before i predict but i was asked this morning by the spurs ST in the office what i thought and i said 1-2 and she said blimey, i've got you down for a 0-4!!!!
Yes I get that they are languishing in the bottom 1/4 of their league and only won half a dozen of their 22 league games but i can't help think back to our opening CL game, home to Lyon
I always get nervous at this stage as our mind set has been focused on the English game since early December, Schalke only really have CL to aim for so this will be very much a cup final for them IMO.
We've also got a card happy referee, he's issued 83 yellows in 20 games this season so far, mainly in the La Liga, although he did book Otter in the away leg to Shaktar
