Not often I say this, but don't play KDB today. He needs to be rested for the game against Real. Hopefully we score a couple of goals early and can rest main players after 60 min.
 
I’d guess Foden on Right, but think rest may stay same as it was in Madrid.

If he starts today, does well, does that mean we will keep him? Some tough choices ahead.

I don’t know the answer to that but I think that if he gets game time and plays well he stays. If not he goes. He needs to play as he will want to keep his place in the England squad. If he’s not playing here he has to play somewhere else.
 
Quite should Everton will try to intimidate us with some robust challenges early doors , it will depend a lot on the referee and how how he handles the tackles that will fly-in , i have no worries in our players standing up to rough house tactics , but i am bothered about picking up injuries if the referee allows Everton to kick f*ck out of us.
If we get a strong ref who doesnt play to the crowd then our possession game will win the day , anyway Haaland is due a hat-trick :)
 
This feels huge today

I know its not... but it feels decisive

3 points and I'm almost sure we'll win the league. Less than 3 points will give Arse a huge boost and they'll smash Brighton and go top... and it could go either way after that
 
We seem to be more nervous than the Everton fans. Looking at their forum, the majority have no belief and are convinced they are in for a thrashing. Whatever team Pep puts out there, we should be able to win, bar some Brentford or Everton at-home type of display or Forest away.

Has it ever worked out like that for us? I'd love to have the three points by HT, but the whistling wanker, VAR and a host of other factors are currently conspiring to thwart us!

I was out last night and every non city fan I spoke to says we'll smash them
 
Is it just me...I'm sure Stan Colymore/ Richard Keyes have never said anything positive about City...anyway a Win today should shut these pair of toss pots up.
 
I expect Foden and Mahrez will start, wouldn't surprise me to see Alvarez and Phillips too, throw in Laporte and Lewis together with Ortega and we have a strong enough team which may be lacking in minutes.

Or I could be wrong....that's more likely tbh

I have a strange feeling that Phillips will start today. There isn’t any great logic to it as Pep has demonstrated time and time again that he doesn’t really trust him. It’s just that Rodri has to be at his brilliant best on Wednesday and he needs a rest.

Same here. I think Phillips will play. And I think we will see what he's made of because this is a business end of the season game.

Another way to look at is Arsenal have 25 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses. We have 26 w, 4d and 4 l. Stating the obvious we have better stats so far for the season, why should we fear Arsenal? We are 1 point ahead of them and the maximum number of wins they can get is 28. We have 4 games to get 8 points. We average 2.38 points per game.
