I don't know why but I've got a funny feeling we might nick this - for some reason I can see Vardy bagging a couple and without Fernandinho and Aguero they might not be clicking today. Madness I know.

City fan here and we're not overly optimistic either. We've had trouble putting away chances in recent weeks and I can see Vardy ripping our defence to shreds. All it takes is one long ball over the top for you to win a game, although without Kanté and Drinkwater he might not get such good service. We'll probably pack the midfield but might struggle without Fernandinho, but Aguero being out is no big dead- we've coped well with it before. Both City and Leicester played weak teams in midweek so this one will probably pan out differently. On the other hand we have the best away record in the league. Okazaki is the player I fear most from your side, but if Vardy and Mahrez got a hat-trick each in a 6-0 home victory, and that was their last goal and your last clean sheet of the season, then that would be the most typical City thing ever. 

I'm going with a 2-2 because neither team is likely to keep a clean sheet.

 

Highly doubt we will have enough shots to get two goals unless you concede two penalties and you'll certainly get more than two.

I thought the same against Watford and Sunderland.

It may be 'Man City' but the manager has given us quite a bit of respect in the media this week (title was ''extraordinary, organised team in general'').

Don't think this is mind games and he knows the threats the team can cause.

I really thought we'd finally turn up against Sunderland, so my confidence is just about running on empty.

Come on Leicester - show them why you're the champions.

He's doing exactly the same thing as every other manager/player since we won the title. We're being bigged up for our achievements, which only highlights how poor we've been this year and adds more pressure on our fans and players. And it's working. Don't take it as a well-meaning compliment. It's a tactical ploy by Guardiola and Ranieri knows not how to respond...

My dad is ill so my youngest son is coming. The one who has only been twice and seen us score 11 goals. Decided it was too loud and hasnt been seen since.

 

5 nil leicester. And a season ticket for my boy.

Pep is like that with everyone he'd go on like that if he got Braintree in the cup if he got them ffs

Forgetting Aguero's absence, given our current form we should get mullered. However if I have that outlook - perhaps I will be presently surprised. Perhaps??

 

We will know at 16:30 as Claudio's line-up will indicate whether he's spent any time considering the opposition.

I cannot see us scoring unless we get awarded a penalty of few. I can see them scoring at least 3. So I guess that means I'm not expecting any points from this game and probably bottom 3 - with a hello we are here, move over make room.

I don't think Claudio's going to change anything, its going to be 442 and the same team we've seen get beat consistently in the last few weeks. Pains me to say it but I think we'll lose 3-1.

If a surgeon keeps losing patients on the slab and doesn't think why - then he should be struck off. If your prediction is true it will be Claudio writing his own P45

I would really not like him to go, but you are right, if he doesn't try something different it means he refuses to see the problems. He gets paid the millions and has won titles so I hope he is aware that it isn't working.

'Well, Braintree are physical. Really physical. And they're not very good. But we have to show them respect. Otherwise we will probably end up with 8 players on the pitch. I say to my players, avoid mad irrational lunges by their defenders. Let them give the ball back to us, assuming they get the ball at all. They don't need the ball to show they're psychotic. I wish we were playing Leicester City, but we're not'

Is Otamendi playing?

 

Aa awful as we've been, Otamendi has been doggo every time I've watched Manchester City.

 

A small ray of light, maybe...

Nope. Suspended.
