Sounds like Ake could be fit but whether he’ll be risked is another matter.

I doubt he'll be risked with another away game just days later.

 

[butlerkb]

Anyone know how Harwood-bellis loan spell went, was he good, it must be over now, is he back , if he’s been playing championship games and we are thinking of using mbete or Egan, then is he in the mix

 

[Stoned Rose]

Win tonight and the league is done imo.

Absolutely huge game. I’ve no doubt the lads will step up and come home with the 3 points.

If it’s a big win I’m with you.
Another say 4-0/5=0 would probably put our goal difference beyond the reach of the Dippers even with them still having to play Southampton.
I don’t think it‘ll be that easy though,

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

I am hating myself for having negative thoughts about this team, this fantastic team we have got. I am old and have seen everything - including that Madrid game last week. We’ve got serious defensive issues and they’ll be roared on by a full house under the lights. It’s not exactly stacked in our favour and so I am going for City to only win by 3 goals to nil!!!! COME ON CITY LET’S HAMMER THESE DINGLES! :-)

More than happy with that team

Cant play Fern from the start..he is a real liability now... he's far too slow .. red card definitely if he plays more than 50 minutes. Please Pep do not go down the 'experience route' tomorrow.....could really de- rail us. Love fern but just cant play at this level anymore.... no shane in that I mean so many have retired at mid 30' s please bow out with cameo for 15 mins when all is safe last game of season

Then play someone else at the back, just keep the midfield intact. I'd rather pep started mbete or egan-riley than move rodri.

Yep, we absolutely need to win tonight.

As Pep says, win tonight, and it guarantees taking it to the final game at the Etihad.

Lose or draw, and we face a team on Sunday superior to Wolves, with the carrot of finishing sixth and the difference between Europa and Conference League football.

West Ham final home game, Noble goodbye, someone like Antonio playing high up against Fern, them having a whole week to prepare.

Last thing we want is to be chasing the points on Sunday.

Fact is, Wolves is where we can put one hand on the title and afford us one slip elsewhere.

Goal difference may yet be needed as Liverpool will know what they need after this weekend.

 

[oldius]

This is a tough one and ANY win will do - it also maintains the advantage on goal difference following Liverpool's narrow win, yesterday.

 

[waspish]

Well the Liverpool supporting centre back will have them up for it going be a tight game 1-3

 

[chesterbells]

You say it’s a tough one, but Wolves are 14/1 to beat us, whereas West Ham are 7/1. I appreciate odds aren’t everything but I think that does offer some insight, and explains why we should see tonight as eminently winnable.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

The defensive absentees are making me a bit jittery, but a fully rested Bernardo and Mahrez is a huge lift, plus this team has shown time and again they have the heart and elbow grease to win a title battle. CTID.

 

[Kamaro011]

Absolutely NO to put academy player in starting line, as sub maybe but not as starter.

Every game is like final right now, we can't suddenly trust them this huge responsibility. They are more likely lose under the pressure and make more mistake. That will damage their confidence and stunt their development because mentally they taking major hit if we lose and they take the most blame on it.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Anyone know how Harwood-bellis loan spell went, was he good, it must be over now, is he back , if he’s been playing championship games and we are thinking of using mbete or Egan, then is he in the mix

He wouldn’t be allowed to play, even if he’s back.

Was flapping a bit until I saw that possible line up.

 

[elbearos]

We are better than them, Come on you blue boys!

 

[Cricket Blue]

Biggest game of the season

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Trust Pep to pick the correct team for this

You can see how determined the players were Sunday to get this over the line

COME ON CITY
