Feel Palmer will have the game of his life... or crumble.

CITY can do it but the away day blues after CL can go either way. Nice and rested, and fully aggressive and it is ours to win.

With Stones out I wouldn't be at all surprised if Pep goes with both Walker and Lewis playing in the back four, with Lewis pushing in to Midfield. Revising my team to Ederson, Lewis, Dias, Walker, Gvardiol, Rodri, Kovacic, Bernardo, Doku, Foden, Haaland

Hope not.

The usual arrogance and over-confidence on here. Who is our speedy left back able to keep up with Sterling in his current form? We will concede at least two counter-attack goals so I am predicting 2-3.

Why shouldn't we be confident ? Chelsea are mid table for a reason although they are showing a little form of late. Besides we've kept some of the worlds best strikers at bay, Raheem is hardly in that category. They might score a goal being the home team so I'm going 1-3 but wouldn't surprise me if its a bigger margin.

What’s the pubs for Sunday, blues?

No chance; his kidology around Akanje and guardiol almost confirmed how we’ll set up; Kova next to rodders, concentrating on a conventional back 4…

It doesn’t always have to be the notion we now need a supporting role from the back line; anyway, Rodri can do this in his sleep, as proven countless times, it’s when, especially in Europe, we need the overload…

Chelsea will try and stretch in behind on the flanks, where they continuously expose themselves for me.

Composure and we’ll pick them off!

Chelsea looked clueless against Spurs, they can’t have sorted themselves out in such a short space of time.

I think the team will be Ederson, Gvardiol, Dias, Akanji, Walker, Rodri, Bernardo, Alvarez, Grealish, Haaland, Foden. Ake might start over Gvardiol. Doku will come on as a super sub.

That's my team also.

Neither I think.
Palmer's a good player. Nothing phenomenal, though. We got good money from Chelsea for him. No regrets, personally, and I wish him well. Just not against us.

Palmer will play well, or he won’t? Don’t suppose you’ve got todays lottery numbers?!
