This is a nothing game for both teams however, i feel like we owe Norwich a battering. We were terrible in the away game, they never got to play against a proper City team. Give them hell.

I feel Kev would’ve gotten an assist last match if he he ‘passed’ the penalty to Sterling just the way Messi did to Suarez?? some seasons back. However, I don’t see our players doing stuff like that.

Fingers crossed he breaks the record and then taken off to be wrapped in cotton wool.

David, Ed and KBD should do it.

 

[Blue Potato]

Seems like a few of them (Mendy, Laporte, Otamendi) have been given a short break given some of the photos they've posted over the last couple of days - they all look to be in sunnier places than Manchester at least. Hopefully a few academy players in the squad for Sunday?

To everyone with serious statements such as we will win by 6 or 8 or 10 or 20 etc. We may... because anything in football is possible. But... I hope none of you have ever been onto the United or Liverpool threads accusing them of "arrogance" at any point in time

At a certain point, predicting a 5+ goal win stops being arrogance and starts just being a legitimate prediction of the scoreline when the best attack in the country by 20+ goals faces an already relegated team with the worst defence in the league.

Does it mean we will definitely rack them up? No, look at the reverse fixture, we could lose! But with De Bruyne desperate for the assist record, Sterling desperate to score as many goals as possible, plenty of players trying to earn a place vs. Madrid...it's entirely possible we win by a massive margin.
