Palace lost 4-0 to them a few weeks ago and by all accounts were very unlucky to go in 1-0 down at half time.

Our defence is currently light years ahead of theirs.

City are scoring goals for fun at present so finding it hard to predict anything other than a comfortable City win but I feel we will be up for this and score on the break. Unfortunately City will sneak one so 1-1

Sad to say, I can't really see us winning, but I don't think we will let many in...1, maybe 2. So my prediction is 1 nil.

However, our results show anything can happen and lets hope the lads come out on fire! UTC!

Yes, I think it'll be similar to when we played at Old Trafford and Heaton played (another) worldie. We'll need to play at least as well as that to get a point. We'll need a lot of luck to go with it, too. But we could still always nick a goal from something such as a set piece on the break.

That the usual moaners and wingers will be on here calling for a lynching.

They have already got stocks ready to be erected in Burnley market I believe

It won’t be easy but we should win by a couple.

Ben Mee and Tarkowski to both put in 10 out 10 performances, and get highlighted on MOTD.

We'll get beat, but we'll upset them a lot more than any of the last teams they've played have. 2-1 City

De Bruyne was sensational on Saturday some of them through balls and crosses were amazing But (there is always a but) Stoke left a hell of a lot of grass for the City players to run onto them passes I somehow cannot see us doing the same. We will be going to stink the place out make no bones about it.

If Dyche gives a managerial masterclass in this one and we pick something up, based on what City have done so far this season it will throw him into an even higher bracket with regards to his already high standing as a manager.

I am going 2-0 City that said I wouldn't write us off and wouldn't be surprised if we give City their toughest game of the season so far.

Man City were very wise to name it the Colin Bell Stand instead of the Colin Bell End......

Is the 12th man going? Will we sell all our allocation? Will we sing loud and proud for the lads? Will they play out of their skins? Yes? We might come away with a point and be immensely proud of our team, not for the first time this season!

I would take a 1-0 beating now, but never say never time for a 0-0 draw

So what if we park the bus, defending is just as much an art as is attacking.
Maybe we should use the same tactics as that Portuguese chap.
