Not sure it would be worth a punt at 50/1.
They look on a different planet to anyone else at the moment.
Suppose considering we're only 3 places below them 11/1 looks massive.

No, not our ONLY centre forward with a history of hamstring layoffs.....if we had a squad I would be LIVID if he was left out, knowing we had a ready replacement.....

Yeah we wouldn't want our centre forward running around would we?

I'm thinking it may be to do with him doing a lot of running around to not see a lot of the ball.....

Yes they're away in Europe in the week but with their squad they will probably just rotate in 4/5 more world class players who are nice and fresh.
It's basically a free hit for us though so keep it tight first half and try and nick a winner in the 2nd.

yeah, they're in form - but WBA got a point there and the run has to end at some point.
I'm going to have a bit of that 5-1 on a draw

0-4!
That's not the score, that's the odds of us having a shot. ONLY JOKING.

The draw might be worth cheeky punt to build up the chelts pot... they are away tomorrow so we may catch them a bit cold
I’m hoping the confidence is high and we don’t surrender like the Liverpool game

Joyo - not doom and gloom just being realistic, the way they're playing at the moment is expect anyone to lose to them.
They've beaten a lot of very good teams easily.

The history of Moyes suggests we will concede possession to them and just try to shut them out.
In a season like this where we are flying, although it might not be what I want to watch week in week out, I’ll just sit back and watch hoping it’s one of the rare occasions where it works.
Like Mourinho, crap football is acceptable if it’s successful. When it stops becoming successful or when we stop improving (like Moyes at Everton) it becomes unacceptable.

4th in table and in good form yet so many posters are still doom and gloom merchants

If we do what we did against Liverpool and Man U then it'll be a defence vs attack drill, and just a case of how long until they score.
Our best bet is to be a bit ambitious early and try to go one up. Give them at least something to think about defensively rather than just letting them play keep ball. We will need to try and hit them on the break and use our pace.
We need to just try and bully them as well. We are a far bigger and more physical team than them. Might be a bit ugly but get the ball in the box for our big men to get at them. They won't be able to handle it.
I'd rather we went 1-0 down because we were trying to score, than trying to just doggedly defend from the off. Tweak the tactics as the game goes on, depending on what happens.

My prediction is we’ll sit with two banks of 5 and look to frustrate them and hopefully get the odd break away where they give away a foul or corner.
If it works, it’ll be brilliant albeit dull. If it doesn’t it’ll be frustrating and dull.

City were amazing in the first 20 mins v Arsenal, scored after 2 mins and should have been 3 up. After that they let Arsenal into the game and were pretty average.
They travel to Budapest and play on Wednesday night, so you never know they may be a bit fatigued with an early start on Saturday.
I'm sure Moyes will sit back and do a damage limitation job and be happy with a 1-0 loss but I'd like to see us go at them from the start. Rather lose 4-2 than 1-0 personally.

No-one is invincible.
Doubt we'll vince them, though.
If it was played 11 times, I doubt we'd win one.
Unless it was 11 times in a row, and we sat back and let them get knackered in the first ten.

We should in theory have a go, but the time for that was against a weakened and out of form Liverpool allowing us to camp in our half for this one.
I would play our normal game first 20 and see where we are at, then adjust accordingly. It could be a cricket score if we're not careful and too gung-ho as I think City's movement will be too much for the likes of Diop.

If we don’t win the toss for the kick off then we won’t see the ball!
