For those tracking predictions, my toddler reckons City will win by 2 goals tonight.

Then again, he also said the score would be Brighton 5 - 7 City.

pep and the players know doubt have taken stock of what tonight means, lose or draw its not over but requires the gooners to slip up, win and the presure keg is over on Arsenal meaning basicaly there last two wins were in vain to a certain extent

A win it is then….

Like the last game?

Do they have Jackson playing for them?

 

[Blue Maverick]

Need to start fast, win the toss keep the ball and overwhelm them, just to calm my nerves!

Foden false 9 tonight to get doku in the team and leave us a center forward option from the bench???

 

[OntarioBlue]

Haaland to play tonight. The kid stays in the picture. I don't care what anyone says! He'll deliver.

I read earlier today that Haaland is out, Stones and Foden fit.

Can’t argue against that.

People need to show a little respect to the opposition here. Very, very good football team who know how to press and pass. They also have one of England's most underrated forwards in Danny Wellbeck who has trophies to his name so knows what it takes in big games. Taken 1-1 now and move onto the next game hoping Arsenal drop points at the weekend ....

Have a feeling if we click tonight Haaland may only be on the bench rest of the season, if we can get a rhythm and start scoring Pep won’t change it unless there’s an injury

Can’t argue against that.

Mind you, she can't be that clever!

Guardiola confirmed Haaland's absence yesterday.

They've lost just 2 games at home this season.Not so good info to hear heading into the match.

Haaland 100% out?

They are in awful form and have circa 11 injured players. No excuses we should be winning this tonight comfortably

That's a decent record they've got.

Agree.

Brighton have won 3 in 13 league games in 2024. They have a big injury list and have been bang average for about 6 months.

We will utterly decimate these lot tonight.

Doku has to start, this super sub thing is an insult to him. He deserves a start based on his recent performances.

What's an insult is subbing off Grealish for no good reason. The team has consistently played better since he's been starting regularly again.

Of course, for anyone not wanting City to win, starting Doku is definitely the way to go.
