Would be great to make it 3 consecutive clean sheets in the PL and then let Foden, Kdb and Haaland take care of business at the other end of the pitch.

Amen, brother

Seeing that it's on Sky, Peter Dreary needs reminding, it's: Kevin Grealish and Jack de Bruyne.

Breaking on SSN now.

Gary O'Neil has been given a one game touchline ban and will miss the game against us on Saturday.

Assuming we have a fully fit squad to choose from (touch wood), I’d go for the following:

Ortega
Akanji
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol
Rodri
Kovacic
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Foden
Haaland

And I actually don't think it will be easy. This lot have history of rolling over for the Dips - usually last day of season - how delightful not to have to stress about the 'this means more' shower this season. However I have Wolves, similar to same ilk as Palace/ Brent/ Saints at the Etihad. They park buses, defend with 11 men plus ref, foul unpunished at every opportunity and play like its their cup final to thwart and frustrate us. They have little to play for, but guarantee this Saturday eill play way above their 'rolling over' footballing capabilities.

If Pep doesn't put the right mix out - and no way will I attempt to predict the starting line up, this could be a very frustrating Saturday teatime....

I hope I am wrong though!!

this one again. No evidence any team rolls over for others and busts every bone in their body against us. If anything, you could argue the opposite with Palace - that they were extremely average when we played them at Selhurst and 2 weeks later they are diving in for everything at Anfield.

Haaland has a pretty good scoring record against these. Hope he continues it

KDB's is not too shabby either!

It could come down to goal difference. We need a big win against Wolves.

It is highly unlikely to come down to goal difference. If it did with both winning three and City drawing the extra match, Arsenal will probably win the title.

City would need to pull back 8 goals in those three matches. That implies at least +11 for City if Arsenal win three on plus 3.

City need to win all four or Arsenal need to drop a point.
