Unlikely that they will not lose at least one game this season. Complacency on their part could be our best friend.

Unlikely under Pep.

I expect us to get mullered against Man City, however it's a tradition of ours this season to lose against the big teams and that's understandable  according to some fans on here! I just hope we play well and don't try to defend for 90 minutes. 

Corrected for you.

Yeah ok, censorship might be your bag but all opinions are valid on here, including yours, so get over yourself eh.

At what point did I try and censor you?

Irrelevant fixture for us.

Citeh are rampant, hoping for a clean sheet would be delusional, we won't prevent them from scoring.

If we come back from that game being beaten by only one goal down, that will be a tremendous achievement.

It's a tough ask, how ever they do play a high line at times, so I'm sure we'll get a chance or 2. We beat them last year when we were pants, they are much better than last year but I believe we are too.

As long as we give it our all I don't care what the score is. If we play well I can see it being similar to the 5-2 Arsenal game, lots of chances but them being clinical. 

Just got to enjoy it, not that many years ago we were welcoming teams like Colchester worried how we would beat them...and failing!

No it's not.

 

Every game in the Premier League is relevant to us - and generally, none of them are easy. 

 

Not sure the players and management would share that view.

Leicester should not sit back as man city will just score anyway but instead to try to over load the midfield by putting three in midfield and getting the wingers to stay close to the midfielders. This way we can pick up the ball from our half of the pitch and launch gray, mahrez and vardy. the man city defence isn't that good and we need to take advantage. this would be my lineup.

Hopefully they'll come out all Guardiola big-bollocks like last time, with the same result.

They're a completely different animal than last season!

I also recall last seasns fixture where we played slim and vards which was quite a surprise - worked out well though ......

Yes, hit them hard,fast and early like last season.

Last year they more than likely took us for granted given our form leading up to it. 

 

Since our promotion of all the big name teams we have played they seem to struggle with us the most.Even away at the Etihad in May with nothing to play for and a depleted squad we could have snatched a draw.

 

The recent upturn in our results wont have gone unnoticed by them and if we were to turn them over it would start to ask questions of Pep. He'll be out to make a big impression on this game so I just couldnt imagine any complacency on their part.

Simpson as part of a 3 man defense? Nooooo you get shot for making statements like that! :ph34r:

I do quite like that, go big or go home! Although judging by today where they played with 6 in the middle at times, we will have a 5 man defense and our midfield will be more or less non existent.

That’s probably the conservative / sensible approach. If we played that I’d argue that we’d sit deep and hope that Ndidi and Amartey nullify Silva and De Bruyne. Problem is if we sit too deep we are just asking for the inevitable. I also have reservations around Amartey given he’s not played much this year and when he has it’s been at right back. 

 

But I like the idea and formation as it would give us some steel in the middle of the park yet keep us threatening on the break. 

 

Be interesting to see what Puel does. Last year we beat them due to a fast start.
