[carlos tevez is a blue]

Just had a look on Saintsweb, no Boruc, no Clyne, no Schnderlin, no Wanyama, no Kelvin Davis, no De Prado, no Fox. Shaw and Fonte doubts. Lost 3 in a row. 3rd choice keeper needing to be picked. Having to put a load of youngsters that haven't played a game on the bench. Too good to be true. Saints 1 - 0 City.

Seriously, have they got all those players missing? Despite them losing their last 3, Southampton have been fantastic this season and I see this as a very difficult match but there can't be any excuses if we don't beat them when their squad is decimated to such an extent.

This, all day long. As has been mentioned before, if you're in need of a result or having to play the reserves, who better to play than City?!

Seriously though, this is a real opportunity to put the previous away losses firmly behind us. If we get off to a good start, silence the crowd and keep our concentration we'll do it. Close game but I reckon Saints 1-2 City

Important to try and get an early goal tomorrow. With the run they have had, an early goal will damage their confidence further.

Both teams will score what ever happens.

Either 2-2 or 2-4 us.

I'll never be more sure of a result in all my life.

City loss.

Edit: 3rd choice keeper? You can add first and last world class game of his career to the prediction.

No mention of Shaw being in doubt from Pochettino that I can see, but yeah, they have loads injured - this is a rare dose of luck for us going into a game like this, just hope we use it.

It's not decimated. De Prado, Danny Fox, Kelvin Davis are reserves. Fonte is a doubt. That doesn't mean he's out.

Gaston Ramirez returns providing he recovers from a cold

The issue they have is the keeper as the 2 1st choices are out. The stand in may have a blinder, or we might have one of those days where we have all the ball, but can't muster a shot on goal.<br /><br />-- Fri Dec 06, 2013 3:39 pm --<br /><br />

They had 77% possession against Villa. It was just one of those games where Villa scored with every attack. I know the pint you are making, but they are not a basket case of a team. They'll have a full house, they'll be confident and well organised and motivated. Strikes me we're getting a bit over-confident here.

Did you type that or does it automatically filter Munich? That would be stupid
