First half - The players will be nervous with the enormity of the occasion, making mistakes and gifting possession to City who punish us with a barrage of attacks.
Second half - They pull it together but the damage will be done by then.
When this first game is out of the way they'll settle down and the season will start proper.
I don't think Man City will want to over extend themselves in the first game against lowly opposition, so once they have a one goal advantage I think they will park the bus and save themselves for the next game.
I think we will keep it tight and hope to nick one.
Still, City will fashion 2 or 3 presentable chances and miss them all. We will then miss an absolutely glorious chance at the death and will all be wishing it had fallen to Murray rather than someone like Jamie Murphy.
