Which is a shame, its been a great competition for the Blues over the years.

It sure has

Apparently there is no private Jets available! I can't believe that! I'm more inclined to think that it's the weather

Thought it was due to flying out at around midnight at earliest from Newcastle.
Airport couldn't facilitate at this hour

Bet most teams do it after night matches at SJP.

You're probably right. Its just that I heard that the flight hours between Newcastle and Manchester were at an unsuitable time.
There must be some reason other than not having a plane available.

Really?
That is a surprise

City were favourite for every single game last year, even Bayern were 17/10 at home. When a team is 17/10 the other team will be 31/20 or 6/4. BM was the closest odds.

Going off Peps comments and the fact the EDS were full strength I’d expect our starting 11 to be heavily rotated but stronger than I first expected.

Maybe something like:

Ortega

Akanji Ake Gvardiol

Lewis Phillips

Bobb Nunes Kovacic Doku

Alvarez

Imagine Newcastle will rotate too with their schedule and their squad depth is clearly nothing like ours even with the injury list we have

1-2 City

I agree. Wed night at midnight isn’t peak private jet hour, I wouldn’t have thought.

Pissing down !!

Guardiola revealed City will drive back from Newcastle on Wednesday night after encountering travel issues.

In the past, City have made the 150-mile journey from Newcastle by plane, but engineering issues and aircraft availability mean they cannot this week.

Plenty of juggling during the game.
