Has Delph actually been ruled out, or are people just guessing?

Didn’t Pep say he’s out?! Not trained, but see today. With another game soon, doesn’t make sense to rush back anyone.

Mangala on Benteke, Walker on Zaha (if he plays) and Bob’s your uncle!

Have to admit, have a weird feeling about this one, but if a half decent performance is put in, we have enough to win going away. However, that’s why we play the games! On paper, United doesn’t get 3 draws on the bounce, either.

I’ll be happy with a 1-0 result, get the record monkey off our backs, and move on.
 
On paper, it’s a very tough game but the way the fixtures have fallen has been good for us. Palace will probably prioritise the game with Southampton, with relatively little recovery time after the Arsenal game. Think the midday kick off could make it a relatively subdued affair.

I read somewhere he has trained once with the squad since Newcastle but I wouldn't be surprised if we go into the game making only a couple of changes saving Stones , Delph and hopefully D.Silva for Watford.

Mind you I have no problems with any of those three starting if available.

Watford have a day more to recover but again their injury list is the worst in the league I believe currently so again things are falling for us this year so far despite the early red cards we got this season and Mendy's season ending injury.

Very little goes to plan over 38 games so as they say you have to make hay while the sun shines with hopefully plenty to spread around in the final run in.

If we can maintain a double figure points lead coming into the last 8 games it should be enough to break the back of the chasing pack.
 
6 AM start time here for this one, which I'm really not looking forward to. I think we play almost the exact same team as against Newcastle with Mangala and Sane the only two changes.

Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Mangala, Danilo, Fernandinho, Gundogan, KDB, Sane, Sterling, Aguero

I think we scrape this one 2-1, but then batter Watford Tuesday as hopefully Delph, Stones, and Silva are able to come back.
 
Urgh gotta get up, and start gettting ready coach at arf 5

safe journey any blues going

City 2-1 today.

Not having what Woy's been going on about. First he hints that he'll play a weakened side, then he let's on he'll take the game to us. Load of bollocks! He'll play his strongest side and park the fucking bus. End of errand!

Your right. Mind games are not one of Woy's strengths
