Manchester City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

I've never assumed we are going to lose any game before it has even kicked off and I'm not about to start now.

Sod it.
2-1 to the Villa.
Come on you Lions !

A trophy-less season for us it seems.

The same as every season.

[TheTimVilla]

Difficult choice for gk. Drop/rest Guzan? Potentially Given drops a clanger then where are we? Two goalies with no confidence...

Nevertheless, I am going for a two nil win; Gabby & Bowery (from the bench).

[Richard Richard]

We need to do what we did well against Newcastle, Swansea and the 1st half yesterday and thats press the opposition midfield when they have the ball.

[danlanza]

It's our fecking cup.
3-0 Villa.

[Ross]

4 - 1 Concentrate on the league etc

[VillaAlways]

James Milner didn't even make the City bench today. No doubt he'll start and score against us on Tuesday
3-1 City

[Bottom Right 89]

We'll win on penalties, Barry (Gareth) will deliberately miss his spot kick, Barry (Bannan) will smash his right in the corner - it will be glorious. We'll get Coventry in the next round.

I agree, they dont want Man U getting away from them. 4-1 to us will do nicely.

[nodge]

I don't know how many they'll get but after the second half yesterday we'll be lucky to get nil

[olaftab]

We have much more chance of beating them now rather than the semi or final however.....

[Dave Clark Five]

Not uncommon for odd results at this stage of the League Cup.
Match postponed - snow.

[Dave Cooper please]

9-3 to us.

[Richard]

3-1 to them

Looking at who did not start for them yesterday is scary :

Richards (might be injured ?)
Maicon
Kolarov
Toure K
Barry
Milner
Nasri
Rodwell
Tevez
Balotelli
