Back down to London and Etihad South
We have to put the CL exit out of our heads and possibly even use that as motivation for this one. We are huge favourites but as we all know, anything can happen in a one off game. Chelsea are coming in on the back of a 6-0 win so will be full of confidence and Palmer will have a point to prove as well.
Team selection as usual will be anyone's guess and media reports suggest Haaland will miss out. Two draws against these in the PL wasn't good enough and we owe them I feel.
A huge opportunity for us to create more history today and I'm now more hopeful than 11pm on Wednesday. Think we will shade it
3-1 Bobb Nunes Alvarez

Finally managed to find a pub in London selling Pride on tap. Big game for us today , followed by a choke game for Arse. What's not to like here.

It's one of those pivotal games.
We win this and I can see us doing the double. We lose it and we might end the season empty handed.
So COME ON CITY !!!

Haaland apparently has a '' muscle injury'' pmsl....at least he can focus on that diet of his , you know the one that doesn't make you tired and keeps you focused!!
We need a reaction today...a fuckign statement !!

No, I'm feeling exactly the same

I would feel more confident if we had the ability to keep a clean sheet after we go into a lead & keep the opposing team at bay, but it is not one of those seasons. So hoping for a 2-1 win

Very strong team. A lot more confident.
Kev proves he’s an absolute bottle job. Fuck all wrong with him the other night

Team looks good, but it’s how he sets it up. Hope Foden is in central position

Hopeful that a few like Rodri that could have been rested have spoken out to Pep about wanting to play because they’re annoyed about the other night. We’ll see within the first 10 mins

Jesus mate that is seriously unfair.
A bottle job is the last thing I'd call de bruyne. He dragged us to that treble last season with a half a hamstring. Had his face broken in the final v chelsea and scored on Wednesday.
There's no way on this earth he came off because he was scared

Kev didn’t drag us anywhere last season in my opinion. It was probably the best all round team performance I’ve ever seen in a season. Haaland stood out, Gundo won us games. Bernardo second leg of the semi. Stones adapting to his new role with ease. Carson making everyone laugh.
But I’d say the whole team was phenomenal.

On paper a very strong XI
But I’m very concerned that the triumvirate of KDB Foden and Bernado rarely if ever complement each other when playing together.
But overall I approve of the line up
