Games leading up to the big one

if kompany is not back then favourable results are possible.

How long is Kompany out for ???

It's amazing how vulnerable are without Kompany. He's a fantastic defender, but his absence should not be this detrimental to a power-machine City.

There are no easy games, or an easy run-in. We may have a point lead, but it makes no difference, and they have a higher goal difference, which in itself is a point.

How City come through after playing Chelsea and Arsenal will show what they are made off and their nerves. Right now the derby game could mean nothing, or everything. Of course, this works both ways, as we have some tricky games before the derby too.

if only City could lose tommorow or at the Emirates then if we win our games leading up to the derby we could win the league there

Chelsea seem to playing a bit better now AVB has gone and could get a point tomorrow night. Going to the Emirates won't be easy for City and think Arsenal could get all three points.

I think Utd will need a decent lead at the top going into the City game, because I can only see a City win I'm afraid.

But there's really little point making predictions the way this season is going!

I can see us winning our next 5 games, the derby won't be that significant we will need 1 point to clinch it in the home game against Swansea. The presentation will take place that very afternoon.

Don't forget they have to go to Stoke at the weekend. Another potential banana skin for them.

Sunderland away last game isn't as bad as it looks, mid table teams are always the best teams to play last game of the season as they have pretty much nothing to play for.

Anything can happen but our games leading up to the City game do look good, however we have been complacent so many times this season you can just see us dropping points against a useless team like we did 2 seasons ago away to Blackburn.

City's next 4 games are massive, if they can get through those with 10 points then anything can happen, anything less and it's ours to lose.

The Etihad has been a fortress this season in the PL for City. Can't see anyhting but a City win tomorrow

You never know though. With Silva not at his best and Kompany missing too, Chelsea may fancy getting something

A time for Torres to hit some kinda form please!!

As for the run in. we should be favourites now to win it.

In terms of the City game. we shouldn't be scared

We have outplayed city this season for the most part aside from the second half at OT and the second half at the Etihad in the cup when we totally took the foot off the gas with them being down to 10 men. The CS we outplayed then both halves in truth and their 2-0 HT lead was totally against the run of play

If we need to beat Sunderland away to lift the trophy, I would expect us too playing at a 'cup final' level

i think what is more likely to happen is points are dropped where we least expect it from united. It's always done the hard way, but i expect united to need a draw at the etihad followed by two wins and I think we will do just that.

City with some other tough games though, still to play norwich and stoke which can be stubborn to break down.

United with everton, villa, qpr and sunderland on the final day.

its a cracker this year, hell of an achievement if we do it.
