Going to be a close game IMO. Reading that KDB may be out.. if thats the case, then thats a blessing in disguise.

Arteta needs to stop being so cautious in these games against 'big' teams and show more ambition.
he needs to treat these fixtures more like those cup games we won last season
City have plenty of vulnerabilities for us to exploit. I’m sure we can pub ourselves a result by playing that way but a lot depends on how sharp they are in attack. If they were anything like Liverpool were the other week then no amount of sitting back will help because we’ll just get overrun.
Hopefully Partey starts and can help us transition from defence to attack more effectively.
8-2 to us. Why not? We live in a clown world.
De Bruyne confirmed out for City.
Hoping to see Partey start, but suspect Arteta will go with Xhaka and Ceballos.
How could he NOT start the new guy? Especially in a match where there's nothing to lose. The fans want to see it, so give the fans what they want. Okay, so maybe the fans know fuck about football at a detailed level, and maybe we'll get our arses kicked if the fans get to decide. But we'll likely lose anyway. We always - fucking always - do in league matches that really matter. So drag a few positives out. Get the new guy on there and let him give us hope for the future when he puts in a brilliant performance. Or a Pepe encore in which case, well fuck that shit.
This is the worst Man City team in a while, they seem to have key players out too.
We could win this but the lineup and tactics need to be right, these are things that are a bit hit and miss with Arteta, I can see Partey being on the bench and him starting Xhaka.
Well if we play the same as we did against Liverpool cannot see us getting anything from this.
