This is it!

10th game of the season! Wow how time flies.

So far we have the joint best defence in the league and on track to beat Chelsea's 15 goals conceded in a season.

We now meet 17th place Cardiff who got their first win of the season in a 6 goal thriller. Fortunately we've also scored four in our last game but conceded zero

Oh and City play Spurs... Hoping for a draw!

Nice work FB. Clocks went forward in NSW and VIC 3 weeks ago though.

I think your goal-scorers list needs updating, Salah has 6 right? Mane 5, Firmino 4...

Clocks go back an hour in the UK this Sunday.

Give Lovren a game and rest Trent works nicely I reckon.

Impossible to pick which 6 from 7 further forward.

Impossible to pick which 6 from 7 further forward.

The normal front three showed signs of finally clicking a bit more on Wednesday, so this should be a good game for them to gel further ahead of Arsenal when they'll really be needed.

Keep the pedal flat to the floor, and the pressure on the rest of the teams.

Allison, Trent, Gomez, VVD, Robbo, Fab, Gini, Shaq, Mane, Bobby, Egyptian King.

Give everyone a couple of days off after this game.

Want a big win against any Colin ****** team

From the BBC:


Neil Warnock has also been speaking to the press. His Cardiff team travel to Liverpool on Saturday.

Warnock has said his team face a "virtually impossible" task to go and win at Anfield.

"It's massive. It's virtually impossible for any team in the current game," he said.

"I think the front three is probably the best in the world.

"We've all got to play at the top of our potential to give them a good game and hope they have an off day."

Warnock has also been asked about his comments last season that Cardiff centre-back Sol Bamba is better than Liverpool's £75m signing Virgil van Dijk.

Last year Warnock said: "I think Sol Bamba is slightly better than Van Dijk, defensive wise."

He has backtracked on that a little.

“I think I’d been drinking. What I meant was that if Van Dijk was in our team, you’d see if he was a good defender,” Warnock said at today's news conference.
