Hoping that Koralov is fit as we need to take advantage of any free kicks around the area and to whip some crosses in. i have a feeling that Balo might start in front of Tevez.

i think Dzeko will have a huge bearing on the game even if it's off the bench, we need to control the midfield from the off and mustn't allow them to get any sort of tempo.

Neither Kolarov or Jimmy will be fit.

Neville talking a lot of sense on sky sports.

i don't like the twunt but he does seem a fair pundit from what i've seen.

Milner and Kolarov are both still out. Clichy is back now and I expect him to start.

Ok i suppose if Clichy is fit it will just be a straight swap, As for Milner being out i think i'd be tempted to put Maicon at right back and move Zabba into midfield.

Get Edin or Mario on and please get some crosses in the box for them to feed on....

And for the love of god SHOOT...

Good luck boys...

That if City score first we'll be hard to beat. That both teams won't go all out because it's early in the season and he think's it will be a cagey game. He also said that at present this is the biggest game.

Yeah, make sense to me, we rarely seem to go out all guns blazing. i have a regular argument with a mate of mine who is always complaining about this. From my point of view i think this is just the way RM likes to do things, keep it tight at the start, retain possesion and dictate the tempo. Get the opposition chasing the ball and after an hour we start to press against a tired team.

Whatever we might want to think the rags are going to be tough to beat, they are nowhere near as weak as we want to believe thy are and there is no reason at all why they couldn't turn us over today.

That said i believe we have the stronger / better players and if we focus on the task at hand we will come out with 3 points.

i am going for a 2:1 win, but a really tough game.

I think we'll start a little cagey today. So i'd go with 5 in them midfield and take it from there -

Hart
Zabaleta-Kompany-Lescott-Clichy
Garcia-Barry
Nasri-Yaya-Silva
Dzeko

Subs - Pants, Kolo, Nastasic, Milner, Balotelli, Aguero, Tevez.

Dzeko, from the start!!, are you mad?
