I think City are beatable and we all know how useless Clichy is, if we could isolate him with Walcott we might get some joy. Cazorla needs to be dropped, he is class but he hasn't been in top form this season and I don't think playing him against City is going to give him much opportunity to rediscover his form.

It will be Kolarov at left back. Clichy is injured.

this is the sad thing - City are definitely beatable, they've been leaking goals all over the shop. had we been going into the game with confidence and energy i think our defence would have given us a chance.
but as it is, they have some wonderful players and we're going to be shakey, tired and timid.

Don't think Kolarov is that much better defensively although his deliveries from set pieces are very good.

now i don't know. if we get a 0-0 or 1-1 that will be a result of real character.
I think Podolski will be on the bench so maybe he will be an option, but can't expect anything from him after so long out. It's all going to depend on the first goal, if we score it I think we have a great chance but if they get the first early on I can't see us getting anything.
I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a win, considering our outstanding league form. Yes, they hammered Utd and Spurs but those teams are hardly exceeding expectations are they?
I'd take a draw, but a win is by no means out of the question
If they bring their A game then citeeh could give us a real hiding regardless of how we play and what our line up is. That being said, this is the game that I fear the least out of all our games against the other big sides - chavs and manure will physically bully us bit citeeh will feel confident in their ability to outplay us and that suits us more imo
As things stand right now I am predicting a 3-1 defeat but I reserve the right to change my mind as has become the norm on here

Cant see anything other than a very easy win for Citeh the meltdown started when that wee delahingmybob bloke scored the equaliser for Everton on sun followed by lastnights pish(but hardly surprising) result Historically Le bumholes teams don't do minor hiccups 3or4 nil Citeh.
