Manchester City V Arsenal pre-match thread.

[Bruun]

Monreal and Bellerin are both very poor. We should hopefully be able to exploit that. Plus Coquelin is wank and Ramsey doesn't defend at all. I know its not our style but if we sit back and counterattack, we could have a field day.

To be fair, with Monreal and Bellerin + Ospina didn't prove much, this could very well be a massive victory if we play to our best.

Looks as though the tarquins will have to boo Clichy plus they have Sagna on the bench to call on.

Good lineup that. About as strong as we have available to us at the moment (bloody ACON).

Who's that in defence for arsenal bellerin?

Young RB. Poached from Barca's youth academy. Good going forward but obviously being very young, he's prone to a mistake or two.

The best line up at this point. Just hope Clichy don't have the Nasri- fright-flight-syndrome and actually play well against arsenal and our full backs will need to be solid today.

All in all I am confident that we will get the three points .

No worries about Clichy. He was superb when we drew 2-2 at the New Library earlier this season. We should have enough to win, but there's some real quality in their midfield. Certainly won't be easy

that is why Jovatic should have started on the left instead of Milner and makes Nasri a bigger miss

Cheers Karen.

Of course these frequent injuries are not completely down to them but our medical staff may need to be assessed in the summer.
