    If you were the premier league looking to fix this, you’d probably want a draw.

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

    I mean, no-one seriously believes anyone's trying to fix the league, right?

    Though if we did 'creating an exciting conclusion to the title race' replacing 'fuck Forest at every opportunity' would be most welcome.

    I don't. Just a preemptive counterweight to the four penalties City are getting this afternoon.

    I'm not sure why you wouldn't think that? Not so much fix exactly who wins, but nudge things to make games interesting, and top and bottom closer.

    I think we all agree it's big business now not sport so why leave to chance the money making? No regulator to stop you.

    Looks like 3 at the back, unless Murillo is playing midfield.

    No sign of Taiwo. Hopefully they are resting him up for the Undead game. Thought he was back in training weeks ago. I guess this isn’t the game to try him out.

    The midfield looks a little thin. Although being aggressive, why the fuck not?

    The pundits here are already talking about citeh’s next game which is very annoying. Foden being ill makes me happy. No doubt Grealish gets a flopping penalty.

    Chicago: Ramping up.

    Taiwo always looks like he's got his boots on the wrong way round for the first game or two after injury anyway. Don't really want to see him again this season.

    I fucking do. He’s a chaos bunny. Sheff Utd need to shit themselves. Wood can clean up.

    Chicago looking for every advantage.

    This is actually a good line up and I have a good feeling about it.

    Murillo as a sweeper. Nice.

    His first pass was less nice. I was nearly off to Cabot Cove after just 2 minutes.

    I think we've started quite well. Aina is a bit careless in possession but we've been aggressive and quite confident in and out of possession generally. Sels is so much better than our other keepers.
