Hate to play the “ITK” but I can tell you now Leeds have been working on parking the bus all week. I appreciate that’s hardly earth shattering news but it is fact.

Good.. they’re practicing something they’re not used to doing and don’t have the players to do it.. won’t end well

Both city and Liverpool will win

Lawro at bbc just wrote the same thing.

We need to rip into them the same way we did against Watford and Real Madrid. If we do that, it's just a case of how many we get. It's really as simple as that.

Leeds are struggling this season and if we want to be champions, we have to get results against sides like this. They aren't great and I wouldn't be surprised to see them sit back.

Liverpool have a much trickier game against Newcastle. As someone else has, they haven't forgotten the 4-3 etc and Howe has got them playing a bit. Liverpool will probably win, but they won't have it easy and honestly Newcastle are one of those teams who are capable of making it very difficult for the opposition.

More like they'll roll over for the dippers and make it difficult for us.

Don’t know whether to drive or get the train
down either way 3-1 my prediction

This might help make up your mind. Rail strike tomorrow. One train an hour Manchester - Leeds, calling every station.

Leeds fighting for their lives and ourselves playing a tough midweek european game doesnt bode well , hopefully we summon up one of our many heroic performances that have delivered league titles, one thing is certain our players will leave everything on the pitch .
Couldnt be more proud of this manager and group of players over the last few seasons and we have five games now to clinch yet another title , but as usual we will have VAR , PGMOL , the media , Sky and every other detractor to overcome the Dipper love-in.

Agree with every word. Need a performance similar to Everton away under Pellers and Newcastle away under Bobby. Clinical and resolute the watch words for every game now.

One an hour from Piccadilly, but several p/h (and much cheaper) from Victoria, all slow though, ~1hr20

Think we'll see a few changes, just to freshen things up and with one eye on Wednesday night. I imagine Cancelo, Ake, Gundogan, Sterling and Grealish could all possibly come in.

0-0 half time 2-0 City full time

Just a feeling.... Someone is gonna blink this weekend... hope its not us

Start the strongest 11, then if we are 2 to the good take Kev, Bernardo and Rodri off at around 55-60 min mark by then they would have no options but to come at us and we just need to counter.
