    That is surprisingly optimistic.

    City have now scored 4 goals in each of their last 4 games. For once, I don’t think we will be breaking a trend.

    Not sure which of our players are capable of dealing with Foden, de Bruyne and Silva?

    According to the BBC, last four games have seen them score 4 v Brighton, 1 v Chelsea, 1 v Real Madrid and 5 v Luton.

    4 *league games, maybe?

    True. But it's actually even worse, as far as our prospects are concerned. Last 4 league games... 4, 4, 5, 4.

    Clearly they've used up all their goals for the month.

    I'm clinging to the cliche that football always throws up some shock results at this stage of the season. And if Everton (who I thought were shit against us) can beat Liverpool, there must be a chance that we can do something on Sunday. Surely?

    Football does always throw up shocks.

    But not to the benefit of us.

    Pretty sure we drew 1-1 at home with the 115 last season so not sure what everyone is wetting their knickers about.

    Another Keylor Navas masterclass incoming…

    Oh.

    I read last year's starting midfield was Freuler, Shelvey and Colback.

    People will tell me this year's midfield is way better than that, even when we've shipped 4 goals (by half time).

    I'd say a good weekend is Luton and Burnley lose and we lose by four or less. Draws aren't the end of the world, wins for either L or B are disaster.

    Maybe they will shit themselves and lose to us... I doubt it though.

    Chicago: Waiting for retribution.

    I’ll skip this one, which improves our chances of getting something by 50%.

    Alas, I’ve done the maths, and apparently that still leaves us at 0 chance of getting something.

    If you were the premier league looking to fix this, you’d probably want a draw. Man City win and the league looks like a foregone conclusion.

    Yeah that occurred to me too. In a relatively even game you could do that. But hard to fix when it's City.
