Take a 1-0 now

After last year’s game, John Stones owes us one tomorrow.

Pep...please stick with the false 9..... appears to bamboozle teams, especially Utd, and dont tinker with the defence....IF we get a penalty......ring ME, because I have no faith in any of them....it's become a joke now...and it ain't.....if LiVARpool can put 7 past them, we have no excuses.......

for me. Walker in to deal with Zaha, he’s done a great job on him in previous games. Feel like we missed Sterling’s pace and threat against Brighton despite the penalty miss and Palace’s defence aren’t the quickest. Jesus to come on in the second half, shouldn’t rush him back if he’s not fully fit and lots of games coming up. Come on City!

 

[Blue Maverick]

Go back to proper wingers Sterling out right, Foden left, again against Brighton Mahrez came inside and it was already packed. Keep the pitch wide and use the overlap, we did t do this against Brighton when it seemed the on,6 option would be get to by line and pull it back or across at speed. When teams pack the box against us it’s our only way through, once we get a lead then the game opens up that’s why we really need to punish teams get the second and I think with our defence these days we will be home and dry.

John Moss

He's a huge miss for Palace, think he's won their POTY award the last few years.

I’ve got a horrible feeling that Garcia might play

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Have a feeling we'll rotate a few of the forwards, knowing Pep he'll probably start Sterling to allow him to get over his miss against BHA and drop Phil to the bench. Think he'll start Jesus up top as well. Probably rest Cancello as well.

Not what I'd pick, just what I think Pep might go with.

2-0, brace for Jesus.

We score the same percentage of chances created as Palace and we will win.
