Feeling nervous, don't like these early starts

This is obviously a must win game and it is going to be difficult but that applies to all the premier league games so this particular tie is nothing distinct or special. The bottom line is that if the players play well, we should win.

So I am hoping for a good performance to win this match and get the 3 points as we make the final push for the title.

TEAM NEWS: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (C), Demichelis, Kolarov, Navas, Fernandinho, Toure, Nasri, Silva, Dzeko.#cityvsaints #mcfc

Seems good. Hopefully, the extra midfielder helps in retaining possession.

Thought he would go Ed and beast

southampton have their 3 choice keeper

 

[FredTilson]

#SaintsFC team vs @MCFC: Gazzaniga, Chambers, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Cork, Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Lallana (c), Rodriguez, Lambert.

Except their keeper, they look strong. Hopefully Toure and Fernandinho can bully Cork and Schneiderlin

that keeper us dodgy as fuck so hopefully we see a few shots from outside the area, especially with this rain around.

Don't be fooled by the one striker up front. That is a very attacking team. The choice of Kolarov and Navas confirms it. It's just that Pellegrini is wanting the attack to come from many different angles. That said, I'd definitely like to see Jovetic on at some point today, depending on how things are going.

 

[Rammyblues]

His usual policy is to replace both Nasri and Silva and the logical two IMO would be Milner and Jovetic.
