The Game
When Villa scored on Wednesday, I was a tad worried, but we had discussed the side without Haaland and we did win the Title playing virtually all season without a recognised striker, so basically the fact that we score 4 in the end and some naysayers saying we made a mistake because if Haaland had been there he would not have missed those chances that fell to Julian Alvarez, but my thought was that had Haaland been on the field then those chances would not have been created.
The good news is that we did not sustain any more injuries and City travel this Saturday lunchtime to Crystal Palace, who has been a pain in the backside on previous occasions, but the fact is that all games in the run in are must win games and even if we do the title is not in our hands.
Ian Holloway and Steve Howey, alongside host Natalie Pike, will be in the studio on the latest Matchday Live show over on the Official site which will start about 1 hour before kick-off and usually at the same time as the teams are announced. During the game you can listen to live audio commentary from Alistair Mann and Andy Morrison, which is always a good listen too as Ali Mann is a blue but fair in his comments and usually gives credit where credit is due, even if it happens to be the opposition. Extended highlights from the match, as well as a full-match replay [available with a CITY+ subscription] will be accessible from midnight.
City Team News
Nathan Ake and Kyle Walker not fit, but Ederson is getting close although I think most of us are happy that we have such a very competent Keeper in Ortega Moreno.
Best Guess

Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol
Bernardo Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden
