Another away day for our fans. And a ground we've not visited in a while. Ordinarily in the last 7-8 years I'd have been confident in the main about this fixture. But our new found inability to hold onto leads and poor game management means this could easily be a potential banana skin.

Delap is playing well and will bully Akanji if selected. And as with all old players will have a point to prove and raise his game. Arbuckle Philips presumably is ineligible to play.

We have a tough looking run of games coming up soon so this really needs to be three points if we want to keep pace for CL places

Heart ruling head, 3-1 (Haaland 2 Savinho)

Tall order ? win by 4 and go back into the top four, which would be good for confidence , seeing as we are playing three consecutive away games again !

Pep said Bobb was still not ready to play but was improving.

Bobb will be a welcome addition once he's back up to speed

I have no doubt we will get 3 or 4 nil up. Then Pep will bring on Gundo and McAtee and we'll be lucky to get 4 all

He's gone from a man who refused to use subs for fear of upsetting the dynamic to one who repeatedly bring them on and destroys it altogether!

Ruben would be ideal to mark Delap. Great pity.

We can’t beat these then we might as well call the season.

Fail to see where "tall order" comes from

Perhaps you're referring to the potential banana skin comment?

IMO most away games in the PL have the potential to be a banana skin where an upset could happen

Oh how the mighty have fallen, when most think Ipswich and in particular Dulap will do us this afternoon

Your City team to face Ipswich!

XI | Ederson, Nunes, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Gundogan, De Bruyne (C), Foden, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Grealish, Bernardo, Savinho, Mubama, Alleyne, O'Reilly, Lewis, McAtee

Nunes. Fucking shocking how he ever gets picked. Atrocious player.

Especially over Lewis. Is actually disgusting at this point.

Absolutely shite team all over.

Time for Stones to fuck off as well

Ederson back off the naughty step. Rico very firmly on it - suspect he disobeyed orders at some point

Very bad team. Gundo, fuck me

I'd have started with Cavinho, i'd also have O'reilly in instead of Gundo.

Ive had it with this mentally fucked up manager - he's beyond losing the plot.

Fucked up team selection yet again - hes becoming very replaceable every fuckign week now.

New player? Terrible when you can't see your phone well anymore isn't it?

Gundogan Nunes doku ffs

Picking Nunes or Gundo should be a sack-able offense.
