Nice of the Premier League to make the schedule as difficult as possible for City, as usual. No option now but to play the bench at Wembley again.

City's remaining fixtures
4 May: Everton (a)

9 May: Brentford (h)

13 May: Crystal Palace (h)

16 May: FA Cup final v Chelsea

19 May: Bournemouth (a)

24 May: Aston Villa (h)

3-0 City

Lovely. I'm hoping to see Spurs relegated this season.

On this day in 1974 Denis Law scored a backheel in the 81st minute to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford.

3-0 City

What a goal from Nico

We got there in the end but boy we made hard work of scoring. They were living on luck a bit with all of the blocking of shots in the box. I don't think that they can complain much that it was a deflection from which we equalised. But what a winner from Gonzalez. It was like a rocket. Their goal was a great hit but Gonzalez goal was special.

Four finals on the trot! We don't want to lose three on the trot though!

Back to the Premier league next Monday with a difficult away trip to Everton

Must win all our games

An insipid first half. Not surprising really given the number of changes. But some of these players should be trying to make an impression to get more game time. Otherwise, we will have to see what the subs can do after 15 minutes of the second half.
