Pep can put out whatever team he wants tonight.

Looking forward to this one, have to admit until the events of this week, I had lost a wee bit of interest in the games, but now after the media/pundits have tried to destroy our clubs reputation, I want us to fucking hammer every team we play with no mercy shown.

So come on blues batter these 5-0 and break another record

[CTID Hants]

Fighting for survival or not, they don't have another Leicester in them.

As long as they don't kick lumps out of us, think we should be good for a win.

Four changes for Bournemouth as Steve Cook comes in for the injured Nathan Ake while there are also starts for Joshua King, Junior Stanislas and Philip Billing.

Ake is a big miss for these, usually plays well against us, wouldn’t mind him at City
