Win this and go third and have a good cushion for getting into top 4.

This is the way to go, IMO. We played well at Spurs, so why change what's not broken.

Marking? What marking?

We were made favourites for the title by the bookies at the beginning of the season, and there was even a documentary about us on the telly (and you didn't see that often). I was quite flattered. But it seemed a reasonable estimate. We'd just missed out the season before, and the team was at least as strong, perhaps slightly stronger. Or so I thought. As I remember it, this was the result where people really sat up and said, “Whoa, what's going on here? Cloughie's doing it again. These are the real deal”. They had no stars, not really — Gemmill was hardly the world' s greatest midfielder, or even the country's — just players who all did the simple things well, and who worked their socks off for each other.
I admit though that I was uneasy after travelling up to the City Ground (from London) for the away match against them in October. Toe-to-toe match, played at a hundred miles an hour, but they'd put down a marker that day. They were just that bit too good. I still believed, but I felt it was going to be a hell of a scrap after that match. As it turned out, we fell away badly.
And I still remember that season with crystal clarity, for a variety of reasons. It was the last year I lived in England (never lived there since), and it was our last hurrah in the league for many a long year. And with the effective retirement of King Colin shortly after (and he was clearly not the same player even in that season), it seemed to break the final link with the great City team I'd fallen in love and grown up with.

Be intresting to see who pep starts in attacking areas so many options even though we seem to be wasting lots of chances.

Doku
Grealish
Kdb
Foden
Marmoush
Savinho
Bobb
Haaland
Mcatee

Haaland up top with Doku/Grealish-Foden-Savinho behind should work if they play relatively open. Worries are our wingers not tracking back to help deal with their wide players and letting the tempo of the game get too fast for our midfield to cope which is why I can't really pick between Grealish and Doku.

I think its great balance of energy and experience, risk and pausa. Yes I'm relying on Grealish being the good version of himself (which he invariably is if he can stay on the pitch) the midfield does lack premier league game time but i really think it can work, cant be worse than what we have had for most of the season that's for sure.
 
0630 kick-off for me.

Could be a tough one, as we don't always fare well in the early KO's. Forest lost their last 2 games, so they'll be wanting to stop the slide. We just need to build on our current form, and I think we'll be okay.
