[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Hazard is in top form...

Of course he fecking can! Come on you blues!!

[Pizy 17,860]

Think we'll boss this one on the big stage with the pressure and spotlight on us. Looking forward to it.

[Irakozium257 350]

Underestimate them at your own peril.. I'm actually grateful that we have a team like Stoke in the PL, they're just those type of teams you can support with confidence when they are playing your 'rivals'. I watched the game against Arse and goddamn they were a joy to watch against that bunch. Not least, they gave me a great healing after that annoying first loss. We should play the best team, prepare for it like we would with a CL final.

I'd go with this team;

Courtois

Ivanovic Cahill Terry Filipe Luis

Fabregas Matic

Willian Oscar Hazard

Diego

We really need the less physical players for the outsmarting and the acceleration.

He's already done it

[Strike 6,958]

Slightly worried. City have a home game against Palace so the 3 point gap will probably vanish before this game. Pressure on the boys to deliver here

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Woo f***ing excited with this match. Another 'test' for our team. We love the pressure. Good luck to us all.

[Ledg 639]

Is Courtois gonna be available for this game? If not - how long he'll be out?

[Madmax 9,219]

Our dropped points at places like Stoke, Villa and Palace ultimately cost us the title last season so this'll be a good barometer of the progress we've made. They've been wildly inconsistent even at home so this isn't quite the slippery slope it used to be under Pulis. I expect a good performance given the 6 day gap till Monday.

We'll win this also let's see if we can do this again: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1007421692615579

[Special Juan 27,093]

Not an easy game and like stated City v Palace is a dead rubber for me, so I fully expect it to be all level on points.

Tibo

Ivanovic Cahill Terry Azpilicueta

Matic Cesc

Willian Oscar Hazard

Costa

That's the line-up I think Jose will go for IMO- I'd personally like to see Willian replaced by Andre and Cahill for Zouma.

[Pizy 17,860]

Even though we'll have a game in hand it'll be pretty annoying seeing City level with us while having several of their best players injured and that shit United side only 5 points behind us.

Must win.
