Thanks bud. Wasn't sure with it being a cup tie

We will get a strong team today. Hoping for:
Steffen, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, KDB, Gundo, Sterling, Foden and Mahrez.

Do think we should give Sterling a game. Think it’s the type of game he could easily play himself into form.

He's probably pissed off with constant mundane questioning and downplaying of our achievements

What achievements?
Pep's achieved nothing in the English game...

Obviously I'd love to win both but at a push I think I would prefer 3 points against Villa than a Chelsea win. The thought of a possible 5 point lead going into the last few games would be frightening and for them jammy sods to pip us at the line would be unthinkable.

Spoken like a true city fan haha

Strong starting line up, get a good lead then 5 subs, lol easy this management lark :)

Just saw Peps press conference from yesterday. He was a bit fiesty I thought. Anyone have any background as to why?

they‘ve been trying to lure him into quadruple bait desperately so that if we fail they can mock and poke fun while selling their papers .
Pep is too smart for that kinda games

I’m against out of form players being fielded ‘in hope’ in knock out games.
Let them have a go at finding form in games we can actually afford to lose / league games, and only field the in-form players in games where in form is absolutely essential.

Don’t even take mendy on the coach .

We go on the train to Wembley.
