Evenin' all. Looking forward to this one. Big Erl certainly added a ton of spice to games this season, and made us all extra excited when we play. Really happy to see Julian start a game because he deserves it.
As for Big Erl ... he couldn't bag another hattrick could he ? Seriously ? Errrr, I think he could you know.

Exciting team selection exciting times

Good to see Kev getting a rest

Agreed. Same with Phil. And not being tempted to rush Rodri back. Good squad management, though the Mahrez haters will disagree.

Have we ever fielded a line up with 3 surnames ending in the letter Z?

We’ve fielded a fair few teams who were all Zzzzzs in the past

Given the amount of goals he has scored in the early weeks of his Manchester City career, it is no surprise Erling Haaland is the centre of attention, nor that he is being linked with Real Madrid.

City have to deal with that - and also navigate round the speculation around a release clause in the contract he signed in the summer.

However, there are additional suggestions Haaland's contract contains a clause that is exclusive to Real and gives the Spanish giants a massive advantage if they wanted to buy him.

BBC Sport has been told those rumours are not true and there is no aspect of the deal that ensures Real get preferential treatment.

For their part, City are just enjoying the fact Haaland has turned them into overwhelming favourites win the Champions League for the first time in their history this season.

It is a warning to Mahrez. Pep feels he is not quite at the level he desires, doesn't mean he is disregarded.

Otherwise known as reading between the lines.

Saying you won't play someone until they get fit, and then playing them the next day before they could possibly have gotten fit isn't a warning.

Would have been the perfect game to see Palmer play at least 60 minutes
