Anyone nervous about this game? I think we have a chance, as long as we stay solid at the back and score our chances we will be fine

Prediction: 1-1

Hopefullly a little bit of confidence running through the team, downing and carroll especially. Defence back to normal, but not sure how the midfield will line up, gerrard, adam, downing, spearing and kuyt i guess. With carroll up top.

City will hopefully be tired from their game today, so i fully expect a close game.

2-1 to us

Without Yaya Toure and with Gerrard starting we have a cracking chance.

I'm hoping the confidence boosting goals by Carroll and Downing will help us see a different performance from them.

And now with Kompany suspended we might be sweet! :)

No Kompany and no Toure brothers, they definitely look beatable, but at their home ground, I'd be happy with a draw.

hoping for a draw, but fear we're going to get f**ked if we field the likes of Downing, Spearing and Kuyt

Gerrard will not start.

Shelvey adam and spearing in the middle with maxi and kuyt on either flank and carrol upfront on his own. Pack the midfield up get the ball to Andy. 0-1

Dont think Mancini will play that strong tbh especially with kompany toures missing. They will focus on the premierleague

I am hoping Gerrard and Bellamy both start. They will definitely miss Yaya Toure.

A draw would be a decent result but if we create chances we have to take them.

Why not?

He started against Oldham. I see no reason whatsoever why he wouldn't unless he is not fully recovered from injury, which in fact he showed against Oldham he was fit.

I'm sure that Kenny will want to get a decent result against City early on this week as the return leg in only days before the United FA Cup tie - no way will Gerrard miss that one, he is far more likely to be rested in the City second leg.

Think we'd be mad to rest Gerrard in the 2nd leg... we havent won a trophy in 5 years and we're close in the Carling Cup.

Because before he returned and was close to fitness Kenny said we won't give him a string of games like last time. I think he is more likely to have a bench role v citeh and come on if needed

Well I don't consider 2 starts in a row "a string of games".

I can see Gerrard starting against City. Bench against Bolton. Start against City and possibly United.

If there was ever a chance to get at City and beat them its now, I'm seriously hoping we come good second half of the season and start developing that killer instinct, we're really gonna need it
