--------------------

Another tough game for us this, against Sven's men. They seem to keep it pretty tight at the CoM Stadium - so it'll be a tight game which could go either way. My head says City to take it 1-0, as our record at their place isn't great. I hope Enriqe comes in at LB, which will allow N'Zogbia to move to LW, with Milner going RW. Would also be good to see Emre alongside Butt/Geremi - but I reckon same will go with both of the latter for the midfield partnership. Up top, it'll be Viduka/Smith with Martins. Can't see how Ameobi will get a look in given his last two poor showings.

Unfortunately mate, I think Foster started one for this game about 3 months ago, as he does.
