Surely, we're due to win there... Right?... Right?!

Prefer it in the league

 

[Plain Speaking]

Will Son be back for this game???

Almost certainly not, he's got a 1% chance of being available

 

[burning blue soul]

Spurs, a fucking fraud of a club.
How can a football club achieve so little, yet claim to be so big?!!
They've done us over recently purely on luck and individual moments.
They need teaching a lesson.

That was a glorious day when we schooled em at the Etihad in 2013, Negredo and Sergio with a brace, it was football artistry that afternoon.

City/Spurs & Spurs/City have delivered some of the most memorable games in English football history, certainly in the last 50yrs. This one has the potential to be added to that list.

About to hit medium to top torque...

Have it, have it, have it!!!!

Wouldn't start kdb in this. He can probably influence the game more in the last 35 minutes than in the first 60, since at the start spurs will have energy to close out spaces and counter attack but as they run out of gas we can introduce Kev (Might be okay to give him his first start against burnley at home since we will likely dominate). Would be great to have Stones back in the lineup to have more composure in the buildup and prevent a basketball game. Maybe Akanji in for walker if fit. Leaning towards Grealish over Doku from the start but either is fine.

 

[Blue Steel]

Agree with those who wouldn’t start Kev in this. His minutes will need managing and well, we know what he can do as an impact sub if needed!

Tricky line up to predict with injuries etc at the moment but I reckon we will see:

Ortega
Walker
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol
Rodri
Kovacic
Bernardo
Foden
Grealish
Alvarez

KDB, Lewis, Nunes, Bobb as bench options to turn to if required.
