They're obviously on a long unbeaten run and playing some excellent football. Not the side you want to face if you're fatigued. But we have a fully fit squad so can make the required changes to win this game. Hopefully, like the fans, the players want to do everything they can to win it for Pep. I said on the "will we win the league" thread I just can't shake the feeling there's another twist in this title race.

Arsenal have had so much luck throughout the season, but it only takes one game or one error to derail things. Palace will go strong against them, I would imagine they use it as a warm up for the final but make 5 changes at HT to ease through. But those players will come in and want to start the final so will have a point to prove still.

Win tonight and I'd say it's 70-30 in Arsenal's favour. But I don't think a team in 1st place has lost the league in English football other than when playing the 2nd placed team. Cruyff managed to do it with Barca twice, with Pep involved - these little stories in football do happen! I can picture Bernardo trying his best to lift the PL trophy and needing Stonesy's help on Sunday. Bring it home boys!

Palace have only lost 5 out of 18 home games, and assume they must hate arsenal, everyone does, u never know. Let’s get the job done tonight and see what happens

Dead right mate - Palace can be a very hard team to play against when they get going. They will pack the defence and make it hard to get a shot in and they are great on the break. I wouldn't fancy playing them away.

All we've got to do is take it to the last game and anything can happen!!
 
I can’t be the only one who is buzzing for this game, surely?

I adore Pep and will be eternally grateful. Our best ever. The best ever.

However there’s still a title to chase and at the end of the day we’re Manchester City FC not Pep FC.

Two proper football sides in great form, both with everything to play for. Let’s have it!

Two proper football sides, let's just hope the referee and VAR allow both to play.

It's Iraola's last home game, they are on an unbeaten run of 16 league games, it's going to be Everton all over again and it means there will be nothing riding on the last day at all, Pep's leaving and the players heads won't be right, my head isn't right and we're well and truly fucked.

I'll stick with the optimist, it's lighter.

Sounds like you need a couple of stiff ones (Oo-err) to calm you down.

That was prior to the CL Final in Istanbul. The team burst into an Elton John song when they met him on the tarmac at Manchester airport. Elton said to them “just one to play, go and win it”. After they sent him on his way Cole Palmer said “who was that”. A true story.

I don't doubt it! Palmer did an interview that's on social media where he says he does not like cinemas. One of the reasons being, and I quote, is "the tv is too big".
