Winning is obviously priority number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

However if I'm being greedy, I'd love a clean sheet so Eddy gets the golden glove, and a few aguero goals so he gets a second golden boot.

So my prediction is 3-0.

Honestly I'm not that worried about this one yet. On the day I'll be too nervous to think rationally, but it felt like we won last night and all the players and pep knew it. I cant see them letting it go now.
 
I am interested in the narrative from media in build up to the game. Special Derby, Burnley tough game, return of Rogers all done. I guess every rat and spit will be advising Brighton how to park the bus.
 
Brighton will no doubt morph into Barca against us. My nerves are totally shredded and I'm cityitused. Come on blue boys
 
Away from home against a team that loves to defend and get men behind the ball. It will be a challenge. In recent games the final pass or shot has been poor. Lots of hit and hope shots. Fortunately we have won the games but the chances and ease at getting in behind has dried up a bit. Hopefully we can show our best football in this one and carve out plenty of opportunities and score a few goals to win the game comfortably.

Brighton have stayed up and really don't need to do anything other than try and get a win for their fans. No benefit in them sitting back too much. The players and coaching staff will know it will be a tough game and will prepare in the right way I am sure.

Arsenal created a lot of chances but failed to take them. Move the ball quickly with a lot of movement off the ball and we can win the game. Would be good to see Bernardo moved central and Sane out wide to stretch the pitch but Pep was fuming with him when he came on so possibly will go for the same 11. De Bruyne being fit would be good. Or Fernandinho in with Gundogan pushed further forward.

That is quality. Newcastle did their best and Wolves will too. They would love to spoil the party. There is something about the way they play that makes me think they will beat Liverpool. Their unbeaten run at Anfield has to end sometime and it would be just the game where that might happen. Losing the CL semi tonight will be a huge mental blow. They will have some small hope they can still go through and how will the players get up for the weekend if they go out and know even winning might not be enough.
 
Another forum I go on is full of dippers they are all praying for Mariner to be Ref , that is clinging on by tour teeth
 
Brighton fans will be looking at making a lot of money out of City fans looking for tickets that's for sure

Anyone saying we shouldn't be getting too cocky as got to remember we are City fans not dippers

We know where we have been and appreciate where we are going.
 
Brighton will be trying their hardest to beat us, as this is their last game at home this season. Please Pep prepare them properly for this game. Was is me last night or did the players look a little tired last night. So start with the players who are up for this. Is this the time to give Jesus a start for this game, to me Sergio either looked very tired or is carrying an injury of some sort.

Let's get a goal in the 1st 5-10mins or so, as to put he pressure on Liverpool, as I expect the ref that Liverpool will have for this game a ref who will be trying to help them in any way he can.
 
We are 59 points ahead of Brighton.
59!
The gulf in quality is epic.
If we stick to what we have done all season we will win.
Let’s not forget they were playing for their premiership future last week as if their lives depended on it. This will not be the case on Sunday.

They were already safe when they played arsenal.
 
Here's my biggest thing going into this...

We've been so cagey and nervy in recent weeks that I think Vinny scoring how he did will have given everyone a huge lift and we'll come out flying on Sunday.

Barring a red card/penalty issue, I can see us scoring and scoring fast.

Think about it. In recent weeks Kun/Raz etc haven't been as clinical as they have all season.

That changes on Sunday.

I'm also convinced Barca are going to run the dippers into the ground tonight and Wolves will destroy them on Sunday.

I can still recall my comment at the back end of the QPR game: "T, it's 86 mins and we are losing!" It could be another QPR game but one that goes wrong! Hopefully, it will be a straightforward game where, as Pep says, we attack, attack, attack and it bears fruit.
