All eyes will be on the Etihad Sunday to see if Chelsea can reiterate their exploits from December, when they were the first team to beat City in the league (leading a to a very shaky few weeks for the title-holders). But with Aguero around this time the result could be very different. Chelsea do have a sharp-looking Higuain to help out Hazard, but if Fernandinho bosses the midfield that may not be enough.
Meanwhile Liverpool host Bournemouth and can ill advise another draw, no matter what happens on Sunday.

The Madrid derby is tomorrow morning, with Atleti struggling to get goals they'll likely resort to their traditional dark arts.

of dread.

Ole Keebler got them balling and ready for Mbappe and NeyNey

we’re careening toward a Choupo-Moting start in our biggest game of the year, fuck yes. Not too late for Jesé to emerge from the darkness either

They can be a bit more selfish and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

clearly this is his moment but I am not bullish. And neither is Tuchel, judging from how nervous he looked on Saturday

They never look like they are enjoying each other's success. And Mbappe always looks subdued (not unflappable, which he is by default, but subdued as if he doesn't want to do too much).

I don't think we will see the best of him until he is playing elsewhere. But with both of them out, he could provide a preview... Di Maria is healthy, right?

Mbappe and Neymar have been playing really well off each other with Neymar in his #10 role. If anything it's Cavani who was the odd one out. Since it's been proven that Kylian can't quite cut it as a #9 (for now), the idea was for him to bounce off Cavani, but it's not been going that well, at least by the high standards we have of him

At this point there's pretty much no choice. I just hope Tuchel finds a better way to utilize Choupo-Moting, who's close to a lost cause but he's all we have so...

>Di Maria is healthy, right?
Yup, and he tends to surge this time of year. Draxler has been good too. The issues are in front of the defense, where Verratti doesn't look completely fit after coming back from an injury. And the less said about Dani Alves the better

he still falls back to his hogging once in a while, but overall he's been much much better at accelerating play under Tuchel

Has been meteoric. So intelligent and the touch! Props to Pep and staff, that's player Development

It was like all of his teammates were being controlled by that dude who was playing FICA on the XBOX from the Atlanta Season 2 episode. They should have won 4-1 against West Ham.

Zaha got tired of setting them up and went scored and they end up with a draw.


I really feel like dude is top shelf striker or a #10....but gatdamn if any star in sports REALLY REALLY REALLY needs more help, its Zaha.

he isnt coming back to us. city and liverpool dont need him. just cant picture him at chelsea.

but Hodgson got Crystal to pony up the money for him...but its shameful watching him make magic and hand chances at the mouth of the goal to dudes who promptly kick the ball into the stands.

Hopefully this is his last year with CPFC. Even if it means doing a year or two in Italy or Spain.

basically like playing a man down in attack w/ him. cant think of a single move he contributed to today

hopefully martial has a fortunate turn with his health for the liverpool game.

he gotsta go.

He's a right channel player with body of a 9. Mourinho wanted him to be purely a target striker, which he can do but isn't what suits him best, and OGS has actually moved him to wings to do what he does best: bring others into play. He has three goals and two assists under Solskjaer. The attack is built around Rashford and Pogba's interplay, as it should be, but that doesn't mean Lukaku is a negative asset that must be moved on. That would be Alexis.

hoo boy.
