1-1 Draw for me.
Davis would be a good option to start and playing both Marvellous and Luiz might work.We really should be looking to get at them though they are a bit fragile at the back right now and attack could be the best form of defence.Going for a 2-2 draw more out of hope that reality.UTV

Our record at the Etihad is almost as embarrassing as that at OT so I’m not hopeful, anything 3-0 or under and the moral victory will be ours.That Etihad League record in full:Played 13Won 1Drawn 0Lost 12Goals for 8Goals against 39We’ve also lost 2 FA Cup games there as well but have the “glory” of the Paul Lambert inspired 4-2 stuffing we handed them in the League Cup.Well and truly our bogey club and ground.If you’re going, enjoy.I'm sure we drew up there once. A 2-2 with Gary Gardner scoring. (edit - I am thinking of the 3-2 loss which was probably an impressive result! And Tom Cleverley)

Someday a team is going to turn up at man city and give them a right twatting. The dream is it will be us. It's the hope that kills you not the results.
I understand anything other than a defeat is seen as a bonus but I don't go with this free hit talk as such.They are good, very very good and have brushed us aside with ease plenty of times. But that was when we were on the way down, now we are on the way up.We are in the same division as them by right. The team should be brave, savour the challenge, be willing to take a chance and who knows ?Up the Villa.
