• Off the Premier League website...
  
  Manchester City v Aston Villa (Kick-off 3pm)
  
  Referee: A Taylor. Assistants: D Bryan, A Halliday
  Fourth Official: L Mason
  Match Delegate: S Howey
  PGMO: J Worrall
  
  Now the only A Taylor on the Premier League list is Anthony Taylor, who is from Manchester.
  No need to worry though - he's from the Withe n Shaw area so he's bound to be one of us!

• We knew this was comming up, This has all the Hallmarks of a comfortable home win. I just hope that our team does not feel that way and thiers do.

• 2-2.  Us to go 2-0 up in the first half, get a bit panicky and hang on for a point in the end.  Gabby and Collins with the goals.

• Our biggest premiership defeat. Probably not the best team we've faced or the best organised, but I smell a whipping

  This season so far would mean 1-0 to them.

• 2-0 Citeh with them getting the 2nd late on after long periods of valiant defending. Can't see us handling thier midfield at all. A midfield of Nasri, Silva and Y.Toure scares the living crap out of me up against ours.
  Nothing to to lose though and a good (understatement) test...they will be 1st or 2nd this season for sure...

• Lets not forget that as great a set of individuals they are they also have their own issues with all those ego's
  
  I think we can frustrate them - the longer it goes without conceding we could pull off a decent draw
  
  Concede early and we could get bollocked

• Hard to call anything other than a Man City win here.  The manner of it though will be interesting and tell us a lot about where we're going under AM.
  
  A drubbing with heads dropping will show some problems, yet a battling performance and narrow defeat would say to me we're going in the right direction.
