Early goal or 2 is the key

Always is.

My prediction is a 3-2 cracker with a very late Sterling goal (not a penalty) winning it.

 

[Cotswold Knight]

Definitely need Jesus or Aguero up front as against Brighton it was back to wasting to many chances

Bogey side?

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Palace have come away with a decent result in their last two visits to City. No doubt they’ll play a deep block and try and hit us on the counter. Zags, Eze and even Townsend can trouble us on the counter.

The one thing that has improved over the last few months is our creativity. Our defence has been excellent but not we’re creating more, the problem is our finishing is dire.

We lack finishers, so much so that Foden is our top scorer. Sterling, Bernardo, Mahrez, Jesus and KDB have missed a significant amount of high quality chances so far this season. If we’re to sustain a title challenge then we have to start converting chances.

If we take 1/3 of our chances against Palace we’ll win comfortably enough.

3-0 city !

Fatso Mason is always the opposition’s best defender when City play as he routinely waddles directly into our inside left passing lane and is too slow and stupid to step back even five yards. Been going on for years

It’s not just that, he is also right up there with Altrincham Anthony for consistently baffling decisions against us

 

[wolviedinho]

Another test for Dias & Stones. 2-0 blues.

You cracked the code.
