Early KO today

Hopefully Newcastle will still have a hangover from their cup final loss. They have just hit a bit of a rut lately as well

We have to win probably 13-14 of our remaining games to win the title. So we know what we have to do

1-0
Mahrez
Edit
KDB

Come on City!!

They ain't going to drop points at home to Bournemouth three points please pep.

3 - 1 City

Hate 12.30 kick offs!

Not optimistic at all

An absolute must win considering the guaranteed 3 points for arsenal today. Come on city, put these Geordie fuckers in their place.

XI | Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan (C), Foden, Grealish, Haaland

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Phillips, Stones, Laporte, Alvarez, Bernardo, Mahrez, Palmer, Lewis

Are we one up yet?

4-3-3 thank fuck for that.

No surprises. Everyone fit again it seems. Strong bench.

Laporte should be starting ahead of Akanji

Amen to that, Ake at LB is good too.

Nearly as good as it gets team wise. KDB and Foden looked great last game. It's screaming get Haaland involved to me. Come on City!

I presume Walker will push up and Foden will invert allowing him more freedom to run at Newcastle. Walker certainly capable of getting into good positions in the final third but his final,ball is often lacking.

Rather see Laporte start. However it's a very strong team.

Worst ko times for everyone involved, including local business

More or less full strength.

Big game this. 6th game in 22 days with the last 5 being away from home, we started to see some real cohesive play and I’m hoping this is the one that brings it all together for the full 90.

On a side note, thought I’d watch a bit of the pre-match on BT and up until now it’s been all about Newcastle. Maybe I tuned in at the wrong time but it seems that it’s only a ‘Big game’ for the Toon.

Come on City!
