Thought I would put Pep’s press conference on the forum, where better than a pre match thread -:

Wonder if this has a affect on Palace, captain fighting with another player -:

This is one of the biggest games of the season for me.
That old fuck always knew how to play at our home with his cunts. Hope we smash them quick because they are really dangerous.

Quite, 5-0 city

We're in great form, love to see us score early on and take the wind out of their sails.

Palace have done well against us for the last 2 seasons at ours, scoring 5 and taking 4 points. Although there was a couple of wonder goals when they won it was very much one way traffic with them having about 21% of possession, or something ridiculous. Roy had his tactics down to a T and packing the box and hitting us on the break really paid dividends. However, I expect something very different today where we are no longer playing the high-line/high-risk game that we’ve played previously. That, with our newfound resolve, and I’m expecting a decent win.

Oh, and haven’t they had 1 day less rest following their 0-0 against Arsenal.

Is it time for a Stella yet?

Just beat them. They can be a bit of a banana skin.
Still I think we will 2-0.

Ridiculously they have a win and a draw in their last two visits to the Etihad. Time to end Woys luck

Decent am liking Fern in there

Gonna be similar to the Brighton game I think. Palace were decent v Arsenal. Better team for most of it.

Walker in to counter Zara’s pace. Palace may target Zinchenko in response.

Is it wrong to hope that the extra days rest for us gives us that bit of an advantage?

Nor Zara

Mercifully. Because they would put him against Zinchenko, not Walker

I like that line up a lot. Gabby needs to earn his corn, a rest for Iniesta, Sterling has a bit to prove this evening but I think he'll have a good game.

Zaha not playing. That’s a bonus.

Apart from the Foden omission I am hoping that team should win the game
