This has the feel of a banana skin fixture to me. Il go for 1-1 with us grabbing a late, late equaliser. Anyone like to stick there neck on the line and suggest a scoreline?

I got it all horribly wrong for Crystal Palace, thinking City might sneak a narrow victory. I'm not sure about tomorrow. 'll settle for a 1-1 draw.

1-0 Leicester with a scrappy goal and boy would I take that result if it was offered to me now.....

Me too mate. First half I thought there was only one team in it and I didn't think they carried any threat in open play whatsoever, obviously I didn't take into account conceding from set plays. We still had the chances first half to go one up but didn't take them and that's what cost us.
We'll create chances against Burnley but we need to be clinical early on so they have to attack us. If we score first I think we'll win comfortably but I have a feeling they'll get a scrappy goal because they've not scored for so long and then they'll sit on it.
Our finishing is what has won us points so far because we've scored with almost every chance. Nuge mussed against Chelsea and we lost, Vardy missed against Palace and we lost, just goes to show we can't afford to miss chances this season.
I'm sure the players will be well up for this because they know the three points and a place in the top six is very much in their hands. Score first and we'll win, concede a sloppy goal and we'll be up against it but I'm going to stick my neck out and say we will be clinical and we will win.

I think you'll have too much for Burnley. They are vulnerable down their right wing. To their credit, they didn't park the bus at Albion and they played their football, but it just wasn't good enough.

Anything less than 6-1 thrashing, I'll be disappointed. Burnley are desperate to score, so i think they will, but we will score more ( a lot more ) x

Just leaving for pre match lunch. Anything less than a win will not be acceptable. We have to take our home wins against these teams. I fully expect us to win.
In terms of last week - those there will know we were well beaten - I am not convinced we have learned to use the squad on a horses for courses basis.
I praised Pearson for his Man U selection ,format and tactics but winning a game should not necessarily mean "no changes" for different opponents
If the crowd are as good today as last time it will be a huge boost- whoever plays today gets total support

I wasn't there but I watched it and I wouldn't say we were well beaten, we were sucker punched by two set plays, other than that Palace didn't cause us any problems and we missed the chances to put us one up.
If Vardy had scored it would have been a different game, nothing wrong with tactics or team selection.

Leicester conceded an incredibly late late late equaliser instead
