The Game
To be quite honest, I am not sure what type of reception Cole Palmer is going to get. I know what the majority of City fans do understand is that Palmer asked for a move. Later we hear from Palmer that he never wanted to leave City. What he expected Pep Guardiola to do was plead for him to not go and promise him a regular spot in the side. Did he not look at Phil Foden and say that PF has thrived through Pep's handling of him? However, as is well known, Pep will stand one's-ones way should they want to leave as long as the Club received value for money and Chelsea did just that. So it is wait and see, I wonder if in the future City fans will want him back, depending on what reception he gets? A Sterling or a Milner.
Chelsea have won their last three games on the trot and could be on a roll and playing the World Champions seems to add that adrenalin to the opposing players as was the case in the away game when they snatched a draw from the Jaws of defeat.
City have had a couple of blows after the Copenhagen game with the loss of Grealish and Bernardo Silva and filling those shoes is going to be a tough job, whilst missing from the squad was Gvardiol and Kovacic.
Special Guests will be appearing on the City match day Centre who will give their own expert opinions before at half-time and at the final whistle. Alistair Mann will have a former Blue in co-commentary on the game bring us all the action via City+ www.mancity.com
Here on Vital Manchester City, we will be nervously following the game from places around the globe from the USA to Australia with the Motherland in between, with our own on the spot reporter Colin is the King, who will give us his assessment after the match.
Team News
It is not good news and City could be without 4 of their first team squad players, the most significant of these is Bernardo Silva, who scored a brilliant goal to put the Blues back in front at Copenhagen. Jack Grealish was forced off with an injury which leaves both players very doubtful for Saturday. Jo Gvardiol and Mat Kovacic did not travel to Denmark both with injury problems and also very doubtful.

, famously let him slip through their fingers……..
(Note - zero comment on why the guy himself chose to move or the way in which Phil Foden’s patience is now paying dividends….wrong narrative).
.......no, I don't know how that was achieved either) & up to the point they parted ways with Tantrum Tommy Tuchel, our mid-table opponents this evening have spent £173m alone on managerial payoffs and fees to other clubs.
