If you can keep your head, while all around are losing theirs, you'll be a Man CITY, son!

Fast start, don't let Palace get set on rinse and repeat, side-to-side bollocks.

Fast and through the middle with Kev.

Expect both us and Scousers to win today.

Anything to kill time today. I've been playing the old Age of Empires II in the morning. Went for shopping for my wife post lunch and just came back. Waiting for the team sheet and the first moan if Sane isn't starting.

Three scenarios by tonight. Given the games that are left for us and them:

We lose, they win. I honestly think it will be very, very hard to come back from that.

We win, they lose. We have a decisive advantage, but it's still not a done deal.

Both teams win. Nothing is settled. But I for one will be starting to get edgy.

You've never heard of draws?

This is the only game the scousers might drop points in my opinion so we have to win to keep as much pressure on as possible.

In my opinion they might drop points in any match... but then, so might we.

I just wish I didn't care so much.

My current tension is ridiculous. Why should it matter so very much to me if some lads get a ball into a 24ft x 8ft rectangle and other lads don't.

I've tried giving my head a shake but it doesn't work... nothing does.

COME ON CITY.

Yeah right up till the moment they kick off.

Rafa will be well lubbed for this one, he will want to keep his hero of the Scouse nation status.

Yep, and the Huddersfield and Cardiff games could see our goal difference advantage reduced to a small margin.

Watching Huddersfield yesterday, Liverpool could win easily get six if they score a couple early.
 
I've got a bad feeling about today. Not so much about us winning - i think we'll pick up three points. More that for a long time i've thought that amidst the pressure of a title race, Liverpool would drop vital points against Chelsea, but as this day has got closer it just feels like everything is pointing towards Liverpool winning today and putting huge pressure on us for the remaining games. I hope i'm wrong.

Hard to pick a team for this. On one hand i'm tempted to hold 3 or 4 players back ahead of the Spurs game believing we'll still have enough to win. On the other it feels like going full strength and hoping to rediscover our goalscoring mojo would be a better plan.

--------------------Ederson---------------------
Danilo-----Kompany-----Laporte-----Mendy
------------------Fernandinho------------------
-----------De Bruyne----Gundogan------------
Sterling-----------Aguero-----------------Sane

Bench: Muric, Walker, Zinchenko, Stones, Bernardo, Mahrez, Jesus

Look to get Fernandinho, Aguero and De Bruyne off the pitch if the game is wrapped up.

Walker for Danilo, Stones for Kompany, Zinchenko for Mendy and Bernardo for Sane would be my changes ahead of the Spurs game.
 
Yes our last 2 games against then haven't been good but c'mon they are not Pep's peak Barcelona side.They are 12th placed PL side with is having better players and manager by distance as compared to them With all due respect to them,we should win this 2-0.I hope we don't overthink or think of last 2 games
