Anyone know if Rodri trained? Wouldn't expect him to be risked but would be positive if he has had 20mins before the cup final to try and get some sharpness back.
 
Saturdays the game, just need to get thru this without any injuries, Chelsea can be a danger in a one off game. Plenty of changes please Pep.

This game in the past has always been a hard game to predict the result ? City has gone into the game before and 100% exspecting a easy game only for us to be 1 or 2 down before halftime and need a big comeback to win the game and how can you forget the FA cup final ?

Forget Palace is in the final of a European competition and will turn off and City will run away with 5 or 6 goals win
City have a FA cup final at the weekend and we really need to beat Chelsea to lift everybody. Pep could make many changes and hope to win the game without using the bench.

Yes, the hope is still there in the Premier League, but it would take a big result from Burnley or Palace to topple Arsenal ? I wish it were all over by now and City could relax and go into the FA Cup Final flying

I think it will be more than helpful if we win our last 3 matches. It will cement the notion that but for that atrocious call, we would be champions. We will know it, Arse will know it and I think it gives us a bit of a lift going into next season. I just don't think they will have that aura of champions especially if their favourite (only?) pet tactic is written our of the rules in the closet season. Oh and we get cleared of 115 too :)

Pity we probably won't see Lewis in this one. He has 3 goals in 5 outings against Palace, prolific.

Surely Lewis isn't gonna be at the club for much longer, he rarely gets a look in nowadays, and he can't be happy with that ..... i should think there's a good chance he will ask to leave.

Yeah, we should play for our pride in these last three games, and do our level best to win them ..... the damage for our title hopes has probably already been done, even though we've had our chances .. but ending the season on a high is always better than ending it on a whimper !

And if we can add the FA Cup to our seasons haul, then so much the better .... together with our Carabou cup success, it would mean two more trophies for the clubs trophy cabinet, and for Pep's CV as a serial winning manager.

Perhaps, if he wishes to leave. However, there are a number of youngish players who have not played as frequently this year (Foden, Savinho, Ait-Nouri, Lewis), and we are not privy to the circumstances. We may find that the down time sees them come back stronger next season.

Could be .... Lewis is a city fan, as is Foden, and sometimes they will stick it out because they love the club in the hope that things will improve for them, but he must look at the squad and see players blocking his way, and his city game time and England chances diminishing .... we'll just have to wait and see what happens with him, if anything does.

Pep would have Foden back in the team like a shot if he can re-discover his best form, and the Brentford game provided a hope that he might be on the way back.

I would think that request was lodged some time back.
