    No Jesus or Aguero at start for them. False 9s or Torres? No Fernandinho either. There’s a chance here...

    I’m more worried about those silver streaks in no.7’s photo. Has he been letting himself go a bit during lockdown?

    Citeh have enough players to field two premier league teams.
    Saints have enough players to field one premier league team.
    Logically they always have an advantage.
    Illogically, many games are not won by better team.
    Hoping for close win
    Expecting a close defeat.

    Concerns are our CB working out who to mark and when. And the ‘Saints fade’ in the second half against that bench. Either way, we have a chance.

    Hope we have a shot from the kick off, just to give their keeper a reminder and to try and get him in two minds about coming too far off his line as sweeper, during open play.

    Anything from this game is a bonus...losing won’t be the end of the world.

    That’s enough common-sense....i will go into a permanent decline if we don’t win.

    If he was out on the pitch he would be getting pelters from the 2,000 fans, so they have him up in the stands instead.

    probably the most nervous I have been before a game this season. We can sneak a 1-0 win or they can produce a 5-0 demolition.

    Looks like they are going to press the CBs instead of letting them knock it around.
    If our press doesn’t work they have the players to move the ball quickly enough to create a 2 on 1 across the other side of the pitch

    If I was a neutral I would be immensely enjoying this. Terrific match already.

    The problem with us being a better team is that the top teams raise their game against us, instead of taking us for granted.
