3-1 City

I'll reserve judgement till we get a better idea of whether it will take place as scheduled. At the moment, I'd predict postponement.

[KunDB]

Well we would be playing without Ederson in between the posts. Also two other first team players absent plus Walker and Jesus. So a significantly weakened team more so if KDB is VP one of the unknown two

Game off.

[Gareth]

I doubt the PL will grant a postponement only on the grounds that our first XI is compromised. They are driven by the need to provide content for TV companies, not by the requirements of sport and competition.

[Stephen Paul]

The FA Cup third round should be interesting with the smaller clubs not having the facilities to deal with covid etc

[Neil Mcnab]

if postponed, they will be getting a winter break, then a mega fixture pile up. The Euros are due to start in June arent they?

[Swiss]

Looks like testing has comeback as negative so the fixture is expected to go ahead.

[KunDB]

Game on but if rumours correct no Ederson, Cancelo or Torres and of course Jesus and Walker.

C'mon City.

[Gareth]

Not a bad little 5-a-side team there...

[Swiss]

Fernandinho's family have said he was one of the positive tests. Rumours are the Brazilians from a couple of different clubs got together over Xmas.

[gavin]

I'll go for 3-1 to City

[Stephen Paul]

Referee: Anthony Taylor

Assistants: Gary Beswick, Adam Nunn

Fourth official: Peter Bankes

VAR: Mike Dean

Assistant VAR: Darren Cann.

[Stephen Paul]

An Aguero start should be on the cards

[KunDB]

I will be surprised if Aguero starts, he is clearly being protected by Pep for CL.

Might change this score prediction when the team is declared but for now i predict

2   0  City win

[KunDB]

Well dine Gavin and Stephenmcfc. Big smile on your faces when Chelsea scored at the death.

[Stephen Paul]

It was coming because City took the foot of the gas

[gavin]

No smile on my face. Gutted we lost the clean sheet. We need to build confidence in all areas.

[Paddy]

To many late changes upset the rhythm
