I'm sure the team plays for Gabby's birthday today and I hope we are havin' a good party.

Beating Cardiff could make our matches at Burnley, Palace and Brighton a bit easier, table in mind.

Cardiff can't have much hope for holding the league on their poor away form:

today City away,
13 April Burnley away,
16 April Brighton away,
21 April dippers home...

I also think they've had a tougher match on Sunday than us last Saturday.
We can rotate and bring fresh legs on. Can they?

We will be focussed and will want it more.
Back to the top, Blues.
 
It's going to be an interesting team selection, this one. Whatever happens, he will want his strongest 11 available for Spurs next Tuesday. So he might rotate a good few out on Saturday at Wembley. For that reason we will probably play our strongest team tonight and a "weaker" (by not much!) team at Wembley. By "weaker" I men the likes of Gundogahan, Mahrez, Otomendi, maybe Danilo.

You are certainly right about next Tuesday,
but I think you underestimate Pep's desire to win the FA cup for the first time!
Pep will be aware of a tough cup fight on that day, where we want to avoid extra time.

We should use our home advantage to afford some rotation tonight,
get to the the FA cup final by rotating back
to end up full power vs spurs, whatever that means :)

Neither setup will be a weak team at all.
 
We are one of the best if not the best team in Europe. We may well have the best football coach that has ever drawn breath. I think we have enough to beat anything that Colin Wanker can throw at us. No nerves. Comfortable win.
 
Don't think we will get any calls from the ref today they will feel they owe Cardiff afew points. I expect them to get everything that's questionable.
 
No injuries please, have a feeling Colin will have his players absolutely flying into everything as per.

DD can answer for himself, but I think you're quibbling over very little there. Weak is clearly a relative term here, I think we'd all agree on that.
 
Just win simple as that. Performances don't matter at this point in the season, 3 points is what matters. CITY
