Jase 43,479 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 City will be exhausted too, they travel to London, Munich and back to Manchester to face us in the same time frame.True but then again, they have a big enough squad to rotate and rest players even if all 3 are important games for them.

DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 True but then again, they have a big enough squad to rotate and rest players even if all 3 are important games for them.Think they'll rotate Kolarov/Clichy, Fernando/Fernandinho because there isn't a huge difference in quality in those 3 positions (and perhaps Demichelis and Mangala) but other than that they'll want their best players in every position. I'd probably expect Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Toure, Silva, Nasri, Dzeko and Aguero to play all 3 if fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellegrini seems to be playing with just 1 ST upfront these days with Jovetic floating behind as the AM/2nd striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hope the friendlies don't disrupt our momentum. Could've blow them away coming off a game like the one we had at Goodison.Fucking hate those friendlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namika 922 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Must win game, can you imagine going to the Etihad with a 6 pts lead on them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1980 1,425 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 So far this season we have the most chances created (41), most goal attempts (50) and shots on target (21), most goals (11) and most successful dribbles (43) in the league.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Spurs losing 2-0 to Liverpool.If it stays that way, that would mean only us and Swansea have a 100% record after 3 games. This would then really be a top of the table clash, even more so than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Bar any injuries this should be the team:CourtoisIva Cahill Terry DaveMatic FabregasSchurrle Oscar HazardCostaThey will play defensively and try to hit us on the break like they did at MU 2 weeks ago. This type of games will see if we have really addressed our issue last season, games where we don't need to be strong defensively but rather breaking down tough defence. They started the season really well, not a fluke at all and their 2 wingers are possibly 2 of the fastest in the league along with Bony, really good striker.Hope we can scrap a 1/2-0 like we did against Leicester to be fair, very very hard game I predict.

Chelsea? 892 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Shurrler will probably start both Swansea and the CL game. Willian will probably play10 mid week. Against city I can see oscar, Matic and cesc in the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Fix the defence and we will kill them off before half time.They will fight like crazy as they are top of table with us, and they might also sign Ayew tomorrow, but the game is at SB and I think we will win.Costa to score hattrick this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
