Wolves (H) - Sat 11th Dec, 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Live on BT Sport in the UK.

Hopefully we don't carry the Leipzig performance into this. I doubt it with Rodri, Bernardo, Cancelo, Dias and Ederson back.

Important we put our foot down in the league now, don't give Chelsea or Liverpool a sniff, both of whom kick off at 3pm (GMT), after us.

Injury News:
Gabriel Jesus - Questionable.
Foden - Questionable.

Wolves are fucked.

Got off the Metro at the Etihad a couple of seasons back and a bunch of young Wolves fans asked me what I thought the result would be. I stupidly told them that they were going to get dicked then watched Traore score two goals whilst we fired blanks all afternoon.

Not going to make a prediction for this one.

Pointless game out of the way , now back to business , Wolves look well organised so expect another war of attrition against a ten man defence , if we get an early goal we will see if Wolves have a Plan B and it might become midly entertaining. But i expect 80% possession , 20 corners , 25 shots , 15 on target and a 1-0 win.
The Dippers can score 5 have a plus 100 goal difference but they will still be second best.

This is the kind of match that is in need of a good old-fashioned 4-0 shellacking. Win like that before the other contenders take the pitch and you demoralize them.

 

[youngbob]

Win please.

Gündo had a stinker but Kev looked physically off it. KdB on the bench.

why BT Sport chose this one I dunno.

This won't be easy, Wolves sit very deep, if we don't play with the intensity we only really show in the big games or don't come up with a goal from nowhere we will find it hard to break them down and they've got the pace to hurt us on the counter as we well know. Potential upset here that we need to give everything to avoid. Getting that first goal and getting it early is everything

Walkers deserves some form of punishment for that shitshow, and should be dropped. he's arguably our most irreplaceable player in the squad but nobody should get away with that. he's put the team at a disadvantage going into the next round.
Kdb false 9 dovetailing with gundogan, jesus right foden left. Sterling and mahrez good options from the bench depending on how its going.
