I think Pep will show his backing of Mahrez by giving him a starting spot and telling him to show the fans what he is capable of.
 
Aguero D Silva and Laporte not on international duty so they should be shoe in the rest I suppose depends on who is fit and raring to go after this international break. I would bring KDB on for last 10 -15 mins only.
 
Pep had used Sterling on the left to cut inside,why doesnt he do the same with Sane and try him on the right wing?then both Sane and Mendy could start a game together

This is one of those games that on first glance looks to be a battering - possession, shots on goal, shots on target, goals. But I expect that it will be one of those frustrating games we see so often these days at The Etihad - the away team starts with a clean sheet and one point - and come Hell, high water, Aguero, Sané, Sterling, and the Whistling Wanker they are gonna try and hang on to both those till the final whistle. Or it could be an early goal - a second minute dodgy pen where Jonny Moss, or similar, spots an imaginary handball a yard outside the area and points to the spot - followed by an absolute avalanche of goals that has BGVS reeling round his technical area by HT! Either way round, Eddie is gonna play a blinder! Does any PL goalie take a goal kick with such panache, any stopper play a pass to a team mate with such disdain for the opposition. If I took Eddie down to Boggart Hole Clough boating lake I'm sure he could walk on the fuckin' water!

It's like he's thinking "call that a press ? " don't make me laugh! I love his style and it just shows the confidence and class this team is oozing.
 
liverpool have 2 gimmes for the rest of oct, as do chelsea on paper(utd could give them a game), so winning well is the order of the day before we meet spurs, as we are likely to be 3rd by the time we play them

Karen. Not sure on your health situation but if you ever fancy getting a train up for a game I could sort you a ticket (Corporate of course!). Be nice to meet you, if not we can come and celebrate our title at Brighton in May!

Let’s hope so kaz! Your as good a blue as any of us.
 
Out of superstition and the misfortune to experience the dark days of Pearce et al, I almost invariably predict defeat. But surely to god if we can't beat Burnley at home then we may as well forget the title!

City win, but not by as many as we really should.

How many should we win by then? I'm confident well win but if by chance we didn't it would make any difference to whether I think we'll win the league, certainly wouldnt be forgeting about it..

Is there still a plan to do some sort of presentation to Joe at the match? Are we thinking before or afterwards?

You sound ultra confident.. maybe even a touch arrogant ..
Lets have a closer look at this Burnley team who you say "are not the team of last season"

Only 3 teams outside of the top 4 are unbeaten in their last 3 games...Burnley are one of them along with Wolves and Spuds; Burnley have won their last 2,are no longer in europe,and i think are out of the league cup...nicely sat in mid table,and no doubt looking fwd to their day out at the etihad...

You might not be able to see anything less than a 5 goal victory,but i dont recall many of these so far this season....some might say City are not yet the team of last season....i hope your prediction is correct,but i also hope your not one of those fans who claims the premiership is the toughest league in the world....
