It's quite simple, we start Walker we lose this game. Any other scenario we win.

Same with Lewis.

0-0 would appear a good result right now. We can't score and if we put all our 11 on our goalline they shouldn't sucker punch us on the break.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

The good thing about this particular Derby is that a draw would actually be quite a good result. We are no longer expected nor indeed desperate to win every game. Will be satisfied with a 2-2 draw, finishing the season 4th but well above the Rags again.

Pep only plays to win even when we've won a game once.

He does'nt play for draws !!

City win a niggly match with at least one red card !!

 

[Gray]

If the players can't get up for this game, then they shouldn't be wearing the shirt.

That's all I have to say CTID.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Arguably they are the worst team of the last eleven games we have played, this is our chance to get back on track.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Same with Lewis.

He can’t play!

 

[GaudinoMotors]

He can’t play!

Thank you!! Never a truer word spoken.

A scintilla of good news.

 

[Blue Maverick]

People forgetting that we hit them on the break twice in the 1st half in the 6-3 win at home in 2022, we don't seem to do that anymore...score goals that start at pace from our own half.
Hopefully Akanji and Kova are fit enough to start, we could use them big time.
If we score first we will win.
Letting them score early first could signify a frustrating 80 minutes or so ahead.
I'd much prefer Ortega to start as well.

I’d prefer Ederson so he can put it to Haaland on the break through the middle

 

[Protein Junkie]

Just hate this fixture with a passion ever since the mysterious penalty in the FACup many moons ago.
Just hope Kova and maybe Phil are fit to play. Time to rejig that midfield.

Get that up on the dressing room wall!

A disrespectful headline to KDB. Telegraph will always be yesterdays, todays and tomorrows bog paper.

 

[skillman]

Been saying this for ages. Think he’d make a mint wing back.

 

[citymad]

Arguably they are the worst team of the last eleven games we have played, this is our chance to get back on track.

On current form both teams are on par with each other and given the two woeful defensive records it could well be a high scoring game. Both keepers will be busy.

 

[citymad]

Anyone got Merlins, Dzeko, Vinny's, or Sergio's cell number ?

 

[chickaroon]

Is there any news on Kova availability?

 

[heslops barnet]

He can’t play!

But he tries

 

[Blu3m00n91]

I’d be happy with Nunes-Akanji-Dias-Gvardiol

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I’d be happy with Nunes-Akanji-Dias-Gvardiol

You won't be getting Akanji

 

[GX Blue]

Ederson

Walker Dias Simpson-Pusey Gvardiol

Kovecic

Bernardo KDB Foden Grealish

Haaland

 

[uwerosler28]

Anyone got Merlins, Dzeko, Vinny's, or Sergio's cell number ?

Have they been locked up?

Their cryptic crossword is very doable. Apart from that, shite tory rag
