3-2

[Dog Toffee]

God I hope we stuff them, I hate City.


We'll lose though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Park and Chakma both start.

[Cripps_orig]

Fabianski, Djourou, Squillaci, Koscielny, Miquel, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Frimpong, Coquelin, Benayoun, Park, Chamakh.

Substitutes: Mannone, Yennaris, Vermaelen, Eastmond, Ozyakup, Gervinho, Arshavin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Squillaci and Koscielny together.

I hope Koscielny has improved enough to make sure that partnership isn't on the same level of ineptitude as it was last season.

[Syn]

Looking at the Man City team, we can take them. But we're weaker than I expected. I'm surprised Vermaelen and Gervinho aren't starting. Good chance for Coquelin, Frimpong and Benayoun - might be in contention as soon as one of Arteta/Song/Ramsey are injured. Also AOC to cover for Gervinho in January.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme starts in a few minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nasri starts for Citeh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jamie Redknapp and Mark Hughes are in the studio.

[Master Splinter]

At least we have a top striker on the bench today.

Vermaelen .

Four CBs in defence. Interesting.
