I think go for it, play them, and if we get hammered, at least we kick started cities season as potential OGS partypoopers.

I think a front three of Pulisic, Werner and Ziyech would be good to start this match.

They would not expect it, though not sure on the midfield mix.

Ziyech won’t start I wouldn’t have thought. CHO deserves to stay in the side anyway...

You consider Utd as serious title contenders? With Ole at the wheel?

Assume this game does happen, this is the game to park the bus, and release the speed of Pullisic and Werner into the space, right? City hasn't been good at all this season, but still favourite based on form and the quality of the personnel.

 
Let's be honest, City having players out (depending on which players they are of course) just means if we beat them there is a legitimate excuse for them and media. We can't win either way.

We'll win the 3 points and that's all that matters

 
Not to sound dramatic but this could be a key game for franks future. Get it right and put the pieces back together and move on. Get hammered and the bad run continues could start to get a bit Hairy for frank.

It’s another three letters that’ll get them there; VAR.

Net VAR overturns 

  1. Man Utd  +8 
  2. Brighton +7 
  3. Crystal Palace +4 
  4. Burnley +3 
  5. Newcastle +3 
  6. Liverpool +2 
  7. Leicester +1 
  8. Southampton +1 
  9. Tottenham +1 
  10. Bournemouth 0 
  11. Everton -1 
  12. Man City -1 
  13. Watford -1 
  14. Arsenal -2

  16. Aston Villa -3 
  17. Norwich -5 
  18. Sheffield United -5 
  19. West Ham -5 
  20. Wolves -5
 
Pep has said that 5 "important" players will be missing from the line up.

We know two of them already, they are regulars for city for sure. I wonder who the other 3 are.

 
I hope Aguero won't turn up yet, he just came back from a longer injury.

 
Maybe it is better we face them now and in these circumstances than somewhere February between some tricky fixtures.

Me too.

  • Sergio Aguero has scored 10 goals in his last nine appearances against Chelsea. However, he is currently on a 10-game goalless Premier League run.

We are every team's and every player's dream opponent when they need to end a bad run.

 
We aren't in great form, but there is surely no better time to play City than at home with 5 of their players ruled out! 

If we lose then Frank should be very worried, it's getting a bit depressing seeing us struggle so it would be nice to get a confidence boost by winning 3 points against a top 4 rival.

I hope for once that we don't help out a player that has had a goal drought... If we are to do it, let's help out our own Timo Werner instead of Aguero!
