I'd be surprised if Lampard starts tomorrow.

I'd be surprised if Lampard starts tomorrow.

I wouldn't know mate.

If we play just Silva as out main technical player Chelsea will mark him out of the game like Arsenal did and we will end up looking clueless up front.

I think we need that extra presence in creative midfield so for me Lampard or Jovetic should start with Silva.

It's definitely a hard team to predict, with virtually everyone fit.

I think we'll line up as follows:

Hart
Zabaleta
Kompany
Demichelis
Clichy
Fernando
Fernandinho
Milner
Navas
Silva
Aguero

Having said that, there's an argument for one of Lampard/Jovetic/Dzeko starting to give us more attacking threat and physical presence, which could be important given Chelsea's power and strength (especially on set pieces). They're a big, imposing side with Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Matic and Drogba.

Lampard won't want to score there

------------------------Hart---------------------
Zabaleta-Kompany-Demichelis-Clichy
---------------------Fernando------------------
----------Fernandinho----Milner-----------
------------------------Silva----------------------
---------------Aguero------Jovetic------------

That would be my team for tomorrow, 4-diamond-2.

The key men for us tomorrow are Aguero and Fernando if you ask me, both need MOTM performances if we want to win tomorrow.

Question :
Would you trade Dzeko for Costa......yes or No.

One has won 2 PL titles
One has shown he can score goals at the business end of the season
One has shown he can bring the goods in big games
One is a human being

Enough said?

City will win this one and win it well.

They really are a fantastic set of footballers but I really believe that we are a level above them and we shall win it tomorrow.

Hope Pellegrini reminds our players to be super careful, we need measured aggression. The Chelsea players and their bully boy manager will be all over the officials at every available opportunity trying to get one of ours sent off .... Basically Mourinho is filling the gap that bully boy bacon face left when he retired ...

Kolarov will start
