I think that for once we will take advantage of other results around us and will put in a convincing performance and result.

Then again if Bravo plays this game maybe not.

If pep can't see that Bravo isn't as good as big Willy then he needs to have a look at himself because he's not as clever as he thinks he is.

The continued playing of bravo in the league is starting to really wind me up.

Interesting game tonight.

You blew them away only a couple of weeks ago in the cup, but even in that game Feghouli missed a sitter that should have made it 1-1 and who knows it could have been a different game.

They have got the Payet situation sorted which was probably affecting the morale around the place and have shown decent form recently.

Should be a good game.

I can't see them playing as badly as they did that night selbs,

2 potential banana skins as they will not give us the freedom of the Olympic Stadium again and Swansea are starting to score goals. Add that to Bravo unable to stop anything and it could be a challenge but obviously have to be targeting 6 points.

On the plus side we've got Fernandinho back, and Sane fit at last. Oh and a good option with the boy Jesus. On the minus side it's City and after the Everton debacle anything is possible.

Swansea are playing well again.

Back to the sort of team we have come to expect in recent years.

Bad time to play them at the moment as they are in their best moment of the season. Same with West Ham really.

Be tough to get 6pts from those and would be a good return.

As a matter on interest, if Ferandinho has a rush of blood to the head again and gets redded, how any games out this time?

Mike dean is the ref I guess we will find out tonight

With the derby out of the frame, City should be looking to take at least 13 points from the next 5 games (tonight included)

Any less than that isn't good enough.

Is he reffing you guys tonight?

He did the Burnley - Leicester game last night I think.

Penalties galore tonight because he's tired and can't keep up with play and just guesses...

I think they forego the ban and just go straight to the Horse-whipping, followed by the Stocks.

The lad needs to chill.

Will be interesting to see if he still gives pens for shirt pulling at corners as he did in the Stoke match.

Mike Dean is ref for the city v Swansea game on Saturday not tonight.

correction Sunday at the Etihad city v Swansea.

I'd like to see Kompany get another 90 minutes tonight possibly with Stones partnering him.
The whole back line needs his guidance and he's the perfect mentor for Stones.

You never know with Kompany's leadership we may even see Bravo actually make a save.

Id be surprised if Bravo wasn't in goal, although considering Cabaleros last two games, we've got a cumulative 8-0, I'd rather he wasn't.

Two big outfield decisions are Kompany and Aguero. The former, if he's fit then he should start. The latter, is quite like to see Sterling, Sane and Jesus again to be honest.

Aguero is now in a moment where his name is not guaranteed to be on that starting team sheet, that was unthinkable only two months ago.

Has to be a good thing.

Definitely.

No doubt

No Bravo, big decision.

No Aguero, another big decision but will be good to see what this Jesus is all about.
I've no doubt Aguero will be used sometime tonight unless it's a bit of an injury.

Caballero, Sagna, Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov, Toure, Sane, Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling, Gabriel Jesus. Subs: Bravo, Kompany, Zabaleta, Aguero, Jesus Navas, Delph, Fernandinho.

Interesting. Clichy (quite rightly) dropped along with Bravo. Thought Fernandinho would go straight back into the starting XI.

Lovely goal and great pass from Jesus.

Good opportunity to close the Goal Difference gap tonight. West Ham are terrible, if we could play them 10 times a season it would be good for confidence. Ironically, could have played Bravo tonight, but could have played me really. Still glad it is Willy though. Aguero to come on for Jesus if he has a booking, no need for an unnecessary ban. Should be looking for 6 or 7 nil in this one. Won't be seeing Maffykins for a while.

Sane MOTM so far for me.

I'm actually hoping he brings Jesus off in case he gets another yellow, can't wait to see him in the flesh against Swansea.
