11 v 16 tonight.

(16th BT Sport)

We win tonight and it will be a monumental result against everything trying to stop us.

I have no faith in tonight's match officials to give us anything.

I might even put a fiver on Brentford to be gifted a win.

Do a tenner, you will double your winnings-)

Hopefully another resounding victory for the boys to see all the tears on MOTD later. Genuinely think we win this one 5-0. I don't think Pep or the players have forgot about our disappointing result in the league last time. Expecting a good performance tonight - maybe even a Grealish goal (if he plays).

Looking forward to tonight. Be a bit different in the Citizens lounge than my normal 115, but should be a nice treat.

What do you think? Now that Delap has recovered, do you think Pep will start him? I'd have him in the starting line up today anyway. I'll be honest, I wonder how many goals he would score if he got into position!

Brentford are due an absolute tonking, City 9-1. At 9-0 Ederson blasts an 89th minute pen against the bar and they go straight up the other end and score

I think this will be tough, a big if a grind unless we score early. Brentford are a well coached side. They stick their game plan and are pretty dogged. They are one of those sides that rarely allow matches to open up.

That said their plan like Palace and Southampton is to be brave on the counter early while they have the energy and then play deeper as the match wears on.

Early goals please otherwise it could be a bit twitchy.

Gonna be a tight game, or stockings, depending on the league rules in winter.
