Last ever visit to Goodison. Let's make it count. Assume Ederson is out? Big blow if so. Everton as usual will set out to spoil things and hit us with set pieces. Gonna be up to us to break this down and prevail. Marmoush will be his usual live wire self, hopefully the midfielders can pass it to him when he makes his runs.
Thought last week would be tight and look how that panned out

. But I do think it will be today
0-1 Marmoush

Ederson out for a few weeks. Stones and Ake - no date on when they’ll be back.
Akanji and Foden trained.
Come on City!!

We have to show up . The season can look a lot different if we can finish strong and win the FA Cup.

Worst scenario is Arsenal win CL, Rags win Europa, Liverpool win the league and we lose in the Cup final and don’t make top 5. It could happen!

True. I had a brew with an uncle of mine 82 along with me annd my family the only blues in our whole family mate. I said do you want to come to Wembley if we get to the Final. He said that would be lovely the last time I was there was with you v Gillingham. Sort of put our frustrations with the blues this season in perspective Mase.

Absolutely mate. I’ve tried to focus on my daughter’s interest in football a lot this second half of the season and that’s taken me to a lot of women’s games instead of the men’s. Going to the women’s tomorrow and again last home game of the season (think it’s Palace) and although the standard isn’t great, I’m really enjoying seeing my daughter become interested in football, she’s started collecting the women’s panini cards, watches their highlights and is starting with a team next Friday! Bought her some shin pads last week and it instantly took me back to Christmas ‘93 when I got my first pair (Lee Sharp ones - Sorry!) and remembered the excitement.

Best scenario is PSG win CL, Bilbao win Europa, we win FA Cup AND finish top 5. More likely scenario as well in my opinion Unfortunately dippers will still win the league

Pep still focused on a small squad. He makes the point he has good players not even travelling to Goodison Park which he hates. Foden and Akanji trained so may feature. Stones Ake Haaland very unlikely to be involved for Tuesday and will likely miss the semi final. Next month Rodri may start full training I suppose.

I don't care if City play the best footy ever seen or not. Just three points please today. I'll live with a bore fest, just bring three points home.

I used to take my daughter to East Didsbury when the ladies played down there. Well done BTW your commitment to the bloodline of blues is noted.

Hopefully Sav on the left. He’s terrible on the right.

Genuinely wonder what Jack has done. At this point could it be considered work place bullying? It’s very very weird.

The cnts will have won the league by default this year due to the fact everyone else has been mediocre at best

Bernardo will be covering Nunes on his forays up the pitch at à guess. Akanji and Foden make the bench.
