I'm going for a 4-3 win. Game of the season. 3 volleyed goals and an overhead winner by jesus in the 9th minute of injury time and klopp collapses into a hoarding board like keegan did. Every city player gets a 10 in the match ratings except sterling who gets a 4 even though he scores 2 and assists 3 goals. Kompany gets injured and ota gets sent off for a lunging tackle on milner. Louvren should see red for an elbow on kun in front of the ref but the ref doesn't see it. Sane foul throws 3 times and ederson scores from a goal kick but its ruled out for offside. Boom.

Sterling won't get a 4 or score

We really need to start beating the top clubs. Our recent record against LIverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal is terrible.

Hahaha .. I see what you did there.

Doubt Otamendi will be ready isn't he playing in Argentina until Wednesday night. Jesus plays Tuesday night. Is Aguero with Argentina ? Not seen the if he's in the squad.
edit, Aguero is away with Argentina, so Jesus will probably be back earlier.

I can see 3-5-2 returning for this.

Argentina's game is 5 hours later than Brazil's - 20:30 Tuesday local time, so early hours Wednesday our time.

Dont think Aguero played, Jesus played the full 90 and apparently was their best player so likely to play again on Tuesday. Slightly disappointing that Coutinho came off the bench and scored (made by Jesus). Another outing on Tuesday and he should be ready to face us.

first time this season we will play a team that probably won't park the bus, lets see how this goes

I do expect us to win this, but If it's a tight game it wouldn't surprise me if we receive some really dodgy decisions by the ref *cough* the FA.

Against the dippers; a yellow is not a yellow, a red is a yellow. Just expect the unexpected from the FA this season.
