[MCFC1993]

20:00 Kick off time (GMT). Live in BT Sport for those in the UK.

Nice couple of wins to come into this game. Sporting on the other hand went through a proper fight on Friday with Porto, a 2-2 draw with plenty of red cards.

Got to get back to that Final this year and get that European trophy we deserve (we're the best team in Europe).

Come on City!

Absentees v Norwich
Jack Grealish
Gabriel Jesus
Cole Palmer

Kyle Walker is suspended.

My first CL match in..... A long time.

 

[LongsightM13]

No away goals anymore. Will be interesting to see if that changes the way teams approach away ties

 

[skillman]

Watched the highlights from their game against Porto, their second goal is beautiful football. Proper, proper slick.

They have outbreaks of football in between longer periods of shithousery.

5 at the back with decent pressing from 2 quick forwards who can create/score a goal too.

They’ll be out to disrupt our play and momentum,I could see this game being a draw ..

Rules & Regs

Guess The Team/Score Compy Session 1 Game 1 Leicester City (CS) N

Proper football is within a month to starting up again so I thought I'd get this up & ready to roll. Hope all the regulars have made it through Covid and that we'll all be in a much better place by the end of this season. Can @De Bruyne Supremacy be the first poster ever to retain the title...

Not an easy game and a draw isn’t a terrible result, but we should try to win. The nasty asshole João Palhinha who injured KdB in the Euros will be playing. He played a game against Porto yesterday and received a red card for violent conduct. They rested quite a few players yesterday and had an extra day. Also have a young and brilliant manager. Don’t anyone kid themselves, it will be a difficult game. I’m a little concerned about playing a lot of Portuguese players against a Portuguese team in Portugal

I've just found 60 euro's in a wallet in my drawer... Happy days !!!

Agreed. I've watched them a fair bit since the draw was announced and I have to say that they've far exceeded my expectations. Will be a tough match no doubt.

 

[14aguero]

Probably the same starting XI as in the Brentford match. Without the away goal, this will be more about control. Wish Grealish was available. Need players with attitude to see out the first ninety minutes. Bernardo and Rodri do have the requisite share.

 

[deano ou812]

They for some reason remind me of Lyon and go under the radar slightly,take a draw minimum and give them a damn good thrashing at home ..

 

[citymad]

Excellent use of the squad today from Pep. Should be able to put out an even more formidable team on Tuesday.

 

[citymad]

Been out drinking have we Tiny ?

 

[SWPISHOME]

Does anybody know anything about Sporting Lisbon as in their danger men? I know nothing about them apart from that lanky Red Dipper Sebastian Coates.

Ederson

Stones
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo

Rodri
Bernardo
Gundogan

Sterling
Mahrez
De Bruyne

All I know is Palhinha is a dirty bastard, I remember him cropping KDB at the Euros, as @BrazilianBlue (Gus) mentioned.
