That stat's misleading though. Guardiola's teams don't tend to tackle because they swarm around the ball so effectively that they win it back that way - cutting off all angles and intercepting the pass.

Last time we played City at the Amex when we had the ball there was nobody to pass to. City players both press and mark the space. And they're quick.

No, ref would protect them. Way to beat them is absolute solid defence, but with as much pace and physical strength through the middle as we can muster so we can make the most of the few occasions we can break on them. So I'm thinking Locadia, andone, bissouma bursting through the middle and causing their defenders problems. Looks nailed on for Murray to start though, and locadia has a knock

Didn’t last long - back to 22/1

Maybe a certain well-known gambler with connections to the club had a little flutter....
