whenever you need to bounce back from a poor defeat it's this game

A huge game coming up in the early kick off with the rags bang on form

What could possibly go wrong!!

The thought of Utd winning makes me feel ill.

1 0 City win, Utd will lock the door as tight as they can and hope to hit on the break (Rashford). Pep will set up for closing down fast breakouts (Rico Lewis playing inverted position for example) (Ake at the back, defensive without attack) so do not expect magic, will not happen.

I wonder if Rico will start. Could well be Ake at left back too. A month or so ago it would have been crazy to suggest that Cancelo and Walker might not start in such a game if available.

No looking forward to this game. They are on a roll and we're inconsistent to say the least.

Hopefully Haaland scores a hat trick!

Hoping for a good win 1-4. A loss and Arsenal will be looking to pull away.

Surely the players will put in a big effort this time. So I'll go for a 2. 1. City win.

3-1 City
Hopefully a kick up the arse after the midweek game is what was needed.

My Team Prediction (though I would play Foden & Walker)

Ederson

Ake Laporte Akanji Lewis (not Walker) a more Defensive line up
(not Cancelo)
Rodri

Bernardo KdB

Grealish (not Foden) Mahrez

Haaland

Close to if not our strongest starting 11 but very defensive and lacking some bite up front, relying too much on Erling.

Not long until we find out Peps starting 11

I would go with that except Foden instead of Grealish
