On paper it should be a routine win, but we play on grass not paper! By all reports they gave quite a good account of themselves against Liverpool and we know how some newly promoted teams see games against us as their cup final

The corresponding fixture against Palace last season was dire coming soon after a hard fought game against Liverpool

Anyway all in here please, sold out by the way!
 
I'd go with today's team with the exception of Fernandinho and Zaba coming in for Fernando and Sagna. Hopefully Jovetic and Kompany might be fit enough to come on for some minutes.
 
Home for Xmas, so first home game of the season....remember watching us beat Burnley 6-0 at home over Xmas a few years ago, when they were top of the league going into the game! More of that, please, assuming we've got a fit striker by Sunday (?)
 
Jovetic and Kompany seem to be making their way back with Jovetic good enough for the bench today. Probably not fit enough for a start though. Same team as today except for Kolarov, Fernandinho and Zab coming in for Clichy, Fernando and Sagna.
 
City are due a big win, the kind of 6 or 7 goal thumping they gave a few sides last season. With Aguero fit they'd have had a couple of such wins in the last few games, maybe Jovetic starting on Sunday will do the trick.
 
I have a bet on that City would win the next 5 games on the bounce after Roma. Hoping for another victory here with a goal difference smashing 5-0
 
Same team with Fernandinho, Zabaleta, Kolarov and Jovetic coming in for Toure, Sagna, Clichy and Navas.
 
I was forced to watch the 2nd half of Burnley v dippers earlier.

Burnley are completely wank.

If we play like we did in today's first half we will give them a severe pasting.

I'd agree there's a good chance of a scrappy game. I'm going to hazard a guess we go a goal down and are laboured but snatch a win in dramatic style through jovetic.
