we need to put atleast 5 past them, else I will be disappointed. they have shit players who are good at beating shit teams. they are nowhere near us

So, if we win 0-4, you will be disappointed. Good god, what have some fans become?

Not allowed to win this one, apparently. Well, we will be if Chelsea and Liverpool win as well. It'll be fair then.

A huge game this, we need to keep the momentum going to drive the scousers and chavs into the ground.

This is our last really tough away game, other than maybe West Ham.

No Southampton away will be a tough game, as will Crystal Palace, no easy games in this league except maybe Norwich..

That would be a neat rick seeing as they are playing each other. ;-)

I actually think this will be an 'easier' game than Brentford. The Arse try to play football and they are at home, so the pressure will be on them to perform. I think we will have sufficient in our locker to see this one through to the end with a win - and I'll take 1-0 now ta very much! Incidentally, when you look at the results over the past few years, how bloody marvelous is it that the Arse have failed to score against us in years... I remember City fans clapping the Arse off our own Maine Road pitch after being 4 down (or was it 5?) at half time back on 2001!!

Tough game, a win here would rank up the pressure on both Tuchel and Klopp.

Interesting to see what team Pep picks for this one with several players due a rest. Can't see any of Rodri, Walker or Stones being available so does Fern play his third game in a week?
I think it will be this: Ederson, Cancelo, Ake, Dias, Zinchenko, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Mahrez, Foden, Sterling

Ederson

Cancelo Dias Laporte Zinchenko
