Conte not on sideline will be benefit that City should take advantage off.

Today is huge, we send a real message with a win. Way back in '12 when United got pegged back at home by Everton we had to go to wolves and capitalize, a great 2-0 win, when slippy G handed Chelsea the game in '14 we had to go to Palace immediately afterwards and rub it in, a great 2-0. Last year with the Scousers finally dropping points at home to Spurs we had to face Newcastle, with the team and fans shattered after the Madrid second leg, we turned in a brilliant 5-0 win. Pep knows the importance of this game today, it's more than 3 points, it'll be a dagger in the arse. We've never won there, never even scored, been mugged a few times. IF we get a competent set of match officials, and no rotten luck, we have the players and the manager to do it. Chucking that mard arse Cancelo out of the camp will only galvanize us. Don't panic, the goal will come...

Good points, nice to see supportive comments.

Half way home from Lanzarote at kick off, should land about 10mins after final whistle, horrible wait for result. Had similar scenario for a 1-0 Liverpool away defeat, said to the captain, he could have kept us informed.

Please tell me you weren't the co-pilot at the time.

This is where we’ll see if the experience can be the determining factor in us stamping all over the tarquins, win today and we’ll stride home imo

A close 1-2, think we’ll be right at it with that result yesterday!

Haaland and kev

I don't think he's in the match day squad either.

[It'sBlue93:20]

Foden?

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Lol, oh no here we go.

Trust in Pep.

 

[Silva&Silva]

KDB is about to become the best LB in the world as well as the best midfielder...

 

[Blue and true]

Has to be alluding to Foden, no?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Foden?

Lol,no.

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

Lol,no.

Might be Kalvin Phillips?

We might as well have him occupying Cancelo’s place on the bench. Especially while Stones is injured.

Seems like a fairly obvious state of affairs.

Arsenal's loss is something Pep needs to use as added motivation. here is their blip we were waiting for, they hardly lost a league game all season and got 50 points out of their first 57 (19 games)

we do need to raise our game, go to bogey team Spurs and get a win, any win, any shit 90+ minute deflected shot goal will do it.

Live on Sky Sports for those in the UK. 16:30 (GMT) kick off time.

It'd be nice to just be able to score a goal here if we're being honest. Can't afford to give them another head start in this game.

If we can win this we're well in the race for the title.

9 days rest is unusual for us but early team prediction would be:

--------------Ederson
Walker---Dias---Laporte---Ake
---------------Rodri
-------Bernardo---De Bruyne
Mahrez-----Haaland-----Grealish

I would like to somehow get Cancelo and Alvarez in there though.

Any spares for today? I have made the trip down and can meet at ground
