Hate playing spurs my brother supports them and at times it feels as though we are cursed against them. Really hope we beat them but I think it will be a draw with us missing plenty of chances and son scoring for them.

I think you might need to be a bit more positive about City, it won’t hurt and you may feel abit better..

Pep has some real selection headaches and its a great headache to have. So many players putting in great performances.
I think Mahrez, Foden, Sterling is a given, all 3 are bang on it and Foden seems to have clicked in the false 9 so he needs to get a run going there.
Stones was excellent at right back but I think Walker comes back in, Biggest question is which 2 of Bernardo, De Bruyne and Gundogan play? All 3 deserve the start. I think I'd be tempted to go De Bruyne and Bernardo and save the control of Gundogan for the second half to hopefully close out the game.

For that Thursday night in May of 1981, smash them every time.
Mashed spuds, yes.

I am glad the front three are in a good scoring rhythm. Son will do his usual, so City might need a few goals.

Actually, wonder if stones went off early cos he’s playing Saturday. Laporte had made a few errors against spurs. Maybe stones Dias Saturday?

I'm with you pal. My hatred of spurs started that night. Let's put em to the sword.

Tricky this. They're set up to play to any perceived weakness we have with the counter attack. No excuses though, must win, any dropped points from us before the dippers drop points will see a huge momentum shift.

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
Gundogan
Bernardo
Mahrez
Sterling
Kdb

Cancelo to sit this one out, we can't afford him giving the ball away in dangerous positions, zinchenko brings that extra security against the counter. Kdb false 9, although it can easily rotate with Bernardo and gundogan. Can't leave out sterling or mahrez right now so foden drops to the bench. Hopefully jesus can make the bench as were light up top.
