Silva was good against West Ham. Easy to follow the narrative. De Bruyne also is playing his way back to top form. It’s coming for him.

Can anyone advise of anywhere that might be showing this game tomo?

Proper struggle these days to find pubs showing it. Best to get a decent IPTV for about 60 quid a year and you can watch everything including all ppv boxing.

By hook or by crook. Just get the win. Will force Liverpool to go for the win at Everton.

They clearly played the percentages (again) just like they did against us, trying to settle for a draw at United.

Klopp is a coward. He's counting on City dropping more points because his team haven't got the stones to knock out another tens wins.

Am I the only one expecting a significant % of scousers hoping Clyne will do them a massive favour and clobber Sterling or is my low opinion of them unduly low.

Not at all. If anything, I think your comment might even be a little too kind and generous to the them.

That's my take, too. They will not fold. Anybody who believes that is living in cloud cuckoo land. This is not like 2013-14. They're a substantially more balanced team, especially in defence. But they may well drop a couple of points. I expect them to, in fact. We have to win everything. It's the default requirement. I know — it's a very, very tough ask, especially with the injuries we've got, and our involvement in two other competitions. If we win this, it will be arguably our greatest triumph of the four titles in this decade.

Bang on!!

The only bad thing about this game is, being a 3 o'clock kick off, i have to put it in my Super 6.
Can never back City with my head.

This is probably the toughest match mentally all season. We’ve had a grueling few weeks and we have less than 3 days between this and West Ham and it’s away against a team that has a decent home record.

Last year we barely snuck home thanks to Raheem’s late winner. They gave us a real battle and Mike Dean allowed them to kick lumps out of us. King in particular had a stormer.

We’ll need to make some changes, it would be great if Stones and Jesus were fit.

Any sort of win tomorrow will do.

Ed
Danilo stones oti Zinchenko
Sterling Bern Kdb Ds
Serge Jesus

Full backs deserve their places
No fern replacement means 4-4-2 makes us a bit more solid.
Serge gets help up top
Sane on bench can come on if needed and sit and watch if not. Hopefully help his headspace.

I am genuinely shocked they've picked our game over the rag game.
