I don't think it will be as easy as it was last time. Tuchel tried new tactics in that game, it was a total failure. Not sure it will be as easy this time. And it's the first game I miss this season!

Come on blues! Got that “old
School derby day feeling” in my stomach which I’ve never had before other than against the rags. Absolute huge game this for us, win at all costs, Let’s go and smash them.

Chelsea will play 8 defensive players and have Lukaku Werner and another as a three to hit us in the break! Going the pressing route will have us opening them up a lot.

If we win today it will be bad for football....the league over, non competition....so they say. Bollox to that I say, lets smash them today and get a 13 pt gap. Not over yet. Need to bring our A game today.

Was just about to say the same, Would love a 5:30pm game. I left the house this morning at 3am to make the 12:30 kick off...It's going to be worth it though!!! COME ON CITY

The 12:30 at their place earlier this season was reasonably okay

De Bruyne needs to keep well clear of Rudiger in this game. Rudiger was under orders to get De Bruyne out of the match in the Champions League final, no question about it in my view.

I agree with this.
