Man City line up

Am sure that our back five and 'parked bus' will be ready for them!

Well, at least for the first thirty seconds or so.... :eyes:
 
If our defence let Sterling waltz through us at will like he has done the last 2 years there will be hell to pay, hack him down you meek pricks.
 
City have shown themselves to be prone at drooping points against lower-middling sides due to the opposition getting in their face and attacking their poor defence/keeper.

If we sit back, City will unpick us at least 3-4 times. They are good enough to unpick deep defences far far better than ours.

Our only hope is to play high tempo and in their face exactly like that night against Arsenal. Whether we have that level in our locker right now is another question - but that has to be what Howe sets out for.

The midfield needs to be all action. Arter starting crucial. Lewis Cook? Has to be worth a look, nothing to lose.

It might be that we haven't got that kind of performance in us right now and that we'll get picked off several times in trying. But we have to give it a go.
