Actually really looking forward to this already. Weather looks warmer, evening kick off so a nice few beers in town before hand and the atmosphere should be rocking. Players will be well rested and apart from Ederson maybe a fully fit squad. Hopefully all signs towards a big night.

Actually happy to have a full week without city playing. Every game this time of the season is a spare underpants time.

Hope foden is back.. haaland looked sharp when he came on...think he needed the rest ( physically and mentally)

Same back 4 for me plus Rodri
Kdb clearly has ti start as well

No need for 4 at the back if we’re going to have Kovacic and Rodri, solid back 3 and no need to sacrifice attacking numbers to accommodate 2 cdm’s

I see that Arsenal have got the early kick off, and we've got the late one. I must say I'm developing a taste for that order of play.
Just out of curiosity. Which tv audiences are being aimed at, there? Would Arsenal's be the east Asia audience, but for evening viewing, about 8 pm or so? And ours the Americas one, approximately 1 pm to 9 am viewing, depending where you are on that continent?
Or have I got that completely skew-whiff…

I’m on the East Coast and Arsenal is at 730 AM and City at 12:30 PM. So Arsenal requires a very early morning for West Coasters.

I wonder if the early games get more casual watchers - eg, “I’ll turn on the TV to see what’s on, oh look it’s soccer.”

City will play right before the Kentucky Derby.

Don’t know if any of this matters!

Is it Saturday already ? This is going to be a long week.

But the players'll be loving it. Just imagine if we'd had to play Bayern tomorrow.
