Next: Fulham (Away)

Pellers don't do safe. All guns blazing, thank you very much.

From the pre-match presser:

Reporter - "Will you approach the game differently without Aguero?"

Pellegrini -"We will continue playing the same way with different names."

Reporter - "You always go out and try to score goals. Are you wary that teams may change their approach and play ultra defensively?"

Pellegrini - "We make some adjustments but football is always to score goals. That's why people pay for tickets and fans are always trying to celebrate goals. It's very important and also the best way to win"

Reporter - "How many goals do you think you can get if you really went for it on a good day? 10?"

Pellegrini - "As much as you can. Sometimes winning 1-0 is important, that one goal means an extra 3 points. But if you playing well, why must you change during a match because you are winning by 2 goals? If you are winning by 2 goals playing in that way, why must you change?"

I love having a manager with this attitude! No fear and always bound to deliver excitement for the fans, even if we have already won the game with 40 minutes left.

Guardian are reporting Hart's going to start

[getdressedmctavish]

I'd be astonished if Hart didn't start. He's served his time.To me this away business is largely down to some flaw in the players, not a managerial or organisational issue. There's something in there that makes them a softer touch than they ought to be and I think its down to the combination of personalities.

No need for me to do the preview then. Nice one AG7. I'll do a later game.
