Don't hold out much hope for the game tonight but it would sure be nice to complete the league double over them when they come back to OT before end of season. We might have quite a few players back by then too as well as Bruno.

Sterling? One of their best players?
So Matic likely to play?
He can miss 10 open goals on his day. He is normally poor against us too.
Unlike Aguero so if they play Sterling over Aguero then I am happy.They’ll play at walking pace and conserve energy, we’ll do all the running around like dogs and maybe get a shot on target. 2-0 City.Just hope we come through this game without any further injuries.
Starting XI:
Romero
Wan-Bissaka
Lindelof
Maguire
Williams
Fred
Matic
Dalot
Mata
Greenwood
Martial
subs:
De Gea
Bailly
Shaw
Pereira
Gomes
Lingard
James
Score Prediction:
Manchester City 1-1 Manchester United
I've just made 13 changes to my team/subs on the strength of Matic now being fit, so he better bloody start
Would love to see us get two early goals, sit back for the next 75 minutes, soak up pressure and then prang in a 94th minute winner.
However, with most of our important players out injured it hard to see where the win will come from. One can dream. City have lost to lesser teams this season so we can hope.I don't think we'll get pumped like the first leg but I don't think at any point we will look like we might go through.We'll miss Rashford so much throughout this season. I just don't know where our goals are coming from today? We have no creators.
Lingard with a hat trick and an assist...
He's gonna go 5 at the back isn't he? Bailly, Maguire and Lindelof with Williams and AWB on the flanks.
Set up for counter at pace with James, Martial and Greenwood.The first goal will be massive tonight, I'm not expecting us to win but as long as we don't get embarrassed ill be happyEven if City play their kids, we are outI want to see Martial James and Greenwood start. Go all in for the comeback. If by half time we're being flogged then just sub the key players off to rest them for Wolves
City have kids!?
OK the "C" team0-2, easy peasy.Manchester CityPhil Foden v Manchester United
By jove I think we've got a chance!
C'mon you RedsWe'll win 3-0 tonight.Bruno's not even on the bench!?
Sums up Ole. Defeatist man who has been lowering the standards for years.Bruno's not even on the bench!?
Exactly. And if he playes Lingard instead of Bruno, I will scream.
On the other hand, Jesse might turn into Messi after news broke (I can play boss, look, I can play, please dont't sell me to Tranmere)
Agree with this sentiment. If i had the choice of facing just one of them, would easily choose Sterling everytime. Aguero always seems to go up a level against United, Similiar to how Rooney was against City.This tie is dead I'm afraid. Barring a lucky early red card and penalty incident.
Already looking to weekend, 4th and europa are priorities for me
Literally every game we play this season
not really as we don't go into every game 3-1 downWatching this with my mate who is a City fan. Considering the score and our injuries, I'm not very optimistic.not really as we don't go into every game 3-1 down
Ha
We don't seem to do comebacks anymore I mean.
Once the opposition score the games done.No Fernandes? Bummer.just a good performance please- to look anyway cohesive and effective.The radio said we had to score 2. Don't we have to score 3?
Away goals don't count.. 3-3 will be a straight penalty shootout.. So need to win 2-0
2-0 is enough for penalties. If De Gea is in goal then 3 is needed.Don't hold out too much hope for tie overall but I hope we can give a good showing tonight.
A win by any amount would be great but I'm really just hoping we don't get turned over big time.Hopefully news of the Bruno signing will give us a little bounce
What happened to away goals after extra time?Almost forgot about this.
We have to score the first goal. Please don't let them score in the first 30mins.
