Manchester City vs. Newcastle United: 15/02/25 @ 15:00 (No UK TV)

[The Prophet]

Sounds like they have a few back for this.

I mean, is it better for us to do the 5-2-3 again we did for Arsenal in this? or go with our tried and trusted 4-3-3 and play our game?

Would argue that I don't think the 5 at the back would work here. Against City the best form of defence seems to be attack. They look vulnerable going in reverse but can still cause you problems going forward. I think if we sit off and allow Foden to do his usual stuff against us as he often does then we'll get beat comfortably. 

 

Willock I feel is the safest bet to slot in and be our legs and help on the counters. 

 

Choice may be made for us if Burn and Botman are out but hopefully Botman is fit to start with Schar. 

 

Would love to see Sven + Fab start this one.

Anybody ever parked at Droylsden and got the tram to the Etihad?

Howe always seems to go pretty much man for man vs Arsenal, I reckon we’ll see the standard 4/3/3 here

I think well done well. More confident for this game than I would be playing palace at home or something

I parked about a mile away to the east, down the canal path and walked along. Wasn't too bad. 

 

Actually there were people parking on the pavement very close to the ground but I personally wouldn't risk that.

Nice one, might look at that, would prefer to walk than have to get the tram

Our record there is appalling but our midfield and attack can really hurt them. We probably won’t have a better chance to win there. I just hope Botman is back.
