Sheffield united like this post.

West Brom's form has fallen through the floor but we live in hope.

according to the bookies City are just as likely to drop point against Spurs (27%) as Utd (26%) are to WBA

Hopefully Dias is over his fever for this one. Spurs have become our bogey team of late abs Kane and Son are playing well, Son especially has a great record against us. Normally we can cope with injury but with their forwards we need to be defensively perfect.

Sadly Laporte really seems to be a shadow of his former self post his knee injury, considering how good he was in 18/19. Hopefully he finds his form soon.

Please can we stop with the utter nonsense of including Rodri in team selections.

Even if it was an impact injury last night he won't be risked in a game 2.5 days later.

This aged well :)

Wondering if spuds has already released merchandise for this match or not ?

In the game at Spurs stadium Laporte was drawn to Kane when he dropped deep, for their first goal, leaving space for Son to exploit and score. It is why Laporte was left out for the next few games. I don't know what Peps plan will be but I know he will have one.

I would keep one eye on Son...he loves playing against us, other than that same team as against Liverpool

The advantage of last night is that Son will have 120 minutes of pretty hard fought football in his boots.

Dias still not back? Got a bad feeling he’ll not quite make the Spurs game, so we’ll see how Laporte deals with Spurs this time. It was the 2-0 defeat to Spurs that saw Laporte drop out of the team. At least if he plays he has a big point to prove.

Time we gave this bunch a real doing. CL, still cant forgive or forget. I hope we reach the heights following last Sunday and win by a truck load. Would love to see a Gabby hat trick. I'm not greedy, six and a clean sheet would do nicely.

What are everyone’s thoughts on false 9 v no false 9 for this one? It’s a big game, so it’s tempting to think we might play a false 9 again. But Jesus had started scoring pretty regularly of late. Will be interesting.
