Chris Sutton, replacing Lawro on the BBC, predicts 5-0 to City. (Then again he also has Brentford beating ManU 3-0.)

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

think it will be a fairly dull affair because of the heat.. we'll just edge it I think 1-0, 2-0

 

[Dodgy Gangster]

Bournemouth have two options - press high up the pitch or the low block. With the expected heat tomorrow they are unlikely to do the former as they'll be knackered before half time so I expect a slow, cagey game with lots of probing movement but little action.

Expect even more time wasting than usual carried out with virtual impunity as the refs look to “safeguard the welfare of the players”

First player to be booked for time wasting will be Ederson as usual

Haaland hat trick.

I'd play JWE tbh, get some game time in him.

No fan of his, but that would be great. “Never felt more like singing the blues …………”

I’m warming to that Sutton fella :-D

 

[Blue Maverick]

Buzzing for this taking my dad for only his 3rd game at the Ethiad and my 9 year old daughters first game, Haaland to have a field day hopefully

Good luck to whoever's playing on the left tomorrow. When we're kicking towards the South Stand they're liable to get frazzled. Expect KDB to stay in the shade as much as possible.

If KDB stays within 20 yards of Haaland, he can shelter in his shadow.
