Sounds like a good bet. This could happen. Then we won't win two of the next three games but it'll be alright because we win the derby and City are good and we need to aim for that and stuff. *more likely to be the other way round. I think we'll get hammered, because he'll pick three defensive midfielders and one forward. And De Gea in goals*
Ole may very well play not to concede and be happy to take a point, a dull 0-0 like against Chelsea. I still feel City's being given far too much backing by the media in this tie. We're already being written off by all, yet City have won once in their games away from home since the end of October. Of course we haven't won too many at home in the same period so probably balances things out.
Team news - De gea starts as does Pogba - no Cavani. Team to play Man City: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, Fred, Pogba, McTominay, Fernandes, Rashford, Greenwood Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Mata, Martial, Telles, Matic, Van de Beek
I have an odd sense of us winning this one. A good result today would put us up in 4th spot just two points off the leaders - not bad for a team that is falling apart.
I had the same feeling all week until about half hour ago. Now it's feeling more like it's going to be a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnng night. I hope I'm wrong.
Well on top here in my opinion. I know everyone faps off about City because Pep and that but they're a pretty average side at the moment.
4 players drawn to the right so Shaw goes into the centre and the left completely exposed. Lucky not be a goal down
