Mahrez & Grealish cannot start together, that all I’ll say on the matter.

To be fair, we won Chelsea with this two starting together.


But I don't fancy this pair either tonight.

The mentality of this team has surprised me countless times under Pep and this is the time for more proof of it. Arsenal dropped points and will be fuming because of it, punish them by winning tonight and watch them shit theirselves.

This isn't a league you can run away with anymore - us and the dippers have set a standard and specifically a points total that Arsenal will panic over. Good start to their season? Yes. Better team than us? Not a chance.

Just play a quick, pressing, dynamic team please Pep. Playing Mahrez and Grealish on the wings plays into their hands. They have a 38 year old Thiago Silva at centre half ffs, get pace in and around him rather than letting him read the slow game perfectly.

I love the way that Pep was respectful of Arsenal’s good start and form whilst at the same time putting pressure on them with “they will get 100 points” statement.
 
On 2nd October we crushed an in form Man united inside 1/2 hour with a front 3 of Grealish-Haaland-Foden.

Guess how many times we’ve selected that forward line since?
 
We really need these 3 points. Feels pivotal if we are to get back into this race especially with our tough schedule coming up. Just hope we play our more fluid and quicker game as for me we have been a hard watch in the majority of our recent matches - way too slow and easy to defend against. If we play to our ability, we can run all over this Chelsea side. This is a team struggling for form, confidence and identity at the moment.

Not sure i see Alvarez starting think this might come a bit too soon but would hope to see Phil starting in some capacity. Want Grealish starting too, maybe something similar to the rags game at the Etihad.

I'm not overly confident but I'm hoping we pull it out the bag tonight. Recent history would suggest this will be a very low scoring game so I'm going with City 1-0.

Come on the boys - we really need this one. Would go some way to making up for that shitshow against Everton.

And ffs Pep please if we aren't winning, don't just sit there, please make subs lol....
