Manchester City (a)

[Shaggy]

Well, this is it then.

Selection headaches - Konate was mostly excellent last night, but Matip will come in.

Fab and Thiago pick themselves - Hendo or Naby.

Up front is a major head****. I've absolutely no idea what I want or what Jurgen will do.

Anyone confident?

[Pablo]

Feel pretty sure it will be:

Alisson

Trent Matip Virgil Robbo

Fab

Hendo Thiago

Salah Jota Mane

As for being confident, obviously I'm bricking it already . I think it is pretty much a coin toss. It if was at Anfield I'd fancy us with the crowd behind us.

Hard to see this as anything other than a title decider. Neither team can afford to lose so it will likely be a draw?

[Shaggy]

If it's level on 70 I could easily see both teams declaring. Losing is unthinkable for both, but really a draw isn't much good for us given the run-ins.

Tbh I wish we were firing a little bit more. Don't think we're at our best atm, but to be fair neither are they, especially at home. KDB is flying though, and Foden looked incredibly sharp last night.

Terrifying isn't it

[Pablo]

Yeah true a draw for us and they could easily win all their remaining games and it would be an absolute sickener.

[spud_gun]

Feel pretty sure it will be:

Alisson

Trent Matip Virgil Robbo

Fab

Hendo Thiago

Salah Jota Mane

Swap Jota for Bobby.

Agree with the rest of your selection.

[Shaggy]

Throwing it out there - Salah is way off it at the minute (understandably)...would anyone even countenance leaving him out on Sunday?

[frank the tank]

my loose ****s started on Monday but they have gotten a lot worse now that the Benfica game is out of the way.

****in stressful as ****. The fact that it is on Sunday at 430pm as well just makes it even worse.....

I think that there will be goals galore. Both teams will go for the win because City don't know how to play another way.

I just hope that (a) we leave it all out there on the pitch and (b) the Manchester based refs don't **** us over....... if that happens then que-sera

[BobTheCharmer]

Diaz, Jota, Mane for me.

[Shaggy]

On the plus side for us it looks like Dias will miss out and their back four will be Cancelo-Laporte-Stones-Ake, which looks very get-at-able to me.

[Buzzo]

Ugh.

I'm dreading this. Can someone tell me it will all be ok and then I can watch it more relaxed. I have a small flame of hope flickering that we might just deliver the W.

First goal is massive.

Our record there is absolutely ****e as well... So maybe time we did something about it?

This is the strongest squad we have sent there by miles.

[Shaggy]

Or is Kyle Walker available? Think he was suspended last night.

I can think of two wins there under Klopp? Early on when we stuck 4 past them when Coutinho and Firmino ran riot, and the CL 2nd leg win. Is that it? Definitely feels like they've had the upper hand in recent years (although the hammering they handed out at Anfield last season can be written off).

This is what FF scout have predicted for them so assume Walker is available

Ah yeah. That looks about right. Still think we could really get at Laporte and Stones.

[RichC]

Massively.

I'm hoping Mo with a few proper days rest can get himself firing for this one; big game player and usually shows up.
