3-1 with the barcodes scoring first and the matchday thread breaking the internet.

That formation worked well for Newcastle against Chelsea but hopefully we'll be moving the ball a lot more quickly than Chelsea were able to. Also Colback was their best player and he's out

A lot of players back from injury- Bony, Iheanacho and Mangala. Mangala inclusion is a big plus as he has been fantastic, determined and a personality in that backline prior to the injury. Hopefully Kompany will be back soon. Sagna does not deserve to lose his place but he needs rest especially after the shift he put in against Monchengladbach. Fresh legs are needed against this Newcastle team that has confidence (justified or not) after the Chelsea game and Zabaleta is a ready made replacement and he will be ready and fired up to get his season going.

Yaya injured but it is a matter of wear and tear and his appearances in the team will diminish naturally but he remains and will be a key asset this season. Fernando and Fernandinho has been great so far and they form a good midfield pair. The front four is where most of the intrigue lies- Silva will be sharper than he was midweek and I want to see more coordination in their play. They are an obvious threat. Aguero remains the main weapon and this can be the game where he starts firing, he has a good record against Newcastle (Aguero seems to have a good record against every team lol).

A 2 week break after this match and so the players will want to go to international with a win. They grafted well midweek and that momentum and attitude should be carried into the match and with the quality of the team, we will get the three points.

Hate all the - poor record against city - crap because just like last week with Kane, we have a horrible habit of breaking these cycles.

Jesus Navas will play and score today.
There said it!

Looking forward to seeing Fernandinho in the Yaya role getting forward more, wouldn't be surprised if he got a goal today.
