Manchester City v Newcastle United: Gut Feelings

Manchester Metropolis purpose to finish the job and safe a visit to Wembley because the League Cup holders arrive on the Etihad Stadium. Newcastle’s grip on the trophy is within the stability after shedding the primary leg 2-0 to the Blues and Metropolis can be keen to complete what they began and arrange a Wembley date with Arsenal.

Three weeks in the past, targets by Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki gave the Blues the benefit and put one foot within the ultimate. Nonetheless, Newcastle are a troublesome opposition and the Blues will should be at their finest if they’re to provide the supporters one other journey to the Etihad south.

As all the time, our workforce are right here to provide us their views and opinions on the match. Right here’s what we expect this week:

Second leg, have the lead. Need to see it off. The workforce has to make good for Sundays draw. 2-0 repeat rating and win.

Metropolis solely want to carry a 2 objective benefit for 90 minutes. What might go unsuitable? No less than the lads are at house.

Metropolis are so, so inconsistent in the intervening time. One factor they appear to be sustaining is enjoying terribly within the second half after an honest first 45 minutes.

That is successfully the second half of the tie, so based mostly off latest outcomes, we are able to anticipate Metropolis to crash and burn on this sport. Nonetheless, I do assume Newcastle’s accidents and poor file on the Etihad means Metropolis will progress to the Carabao Cup ultimate.

With a match each few days, Metropolis, I believe, are beginning to run out of steam. 9 matches in January and this the second this month, and it’s solely the fourth, and the toll will begin to present. Will or not it’s tonight? I hope not and I believe Metropolis may have sufficient within the tank to see this match out.

Metropolis threw away a two-goal result in snatch a draw from the jaws of victory at Spurs to maneuver six factors behind Arsenal. It’s not unassailable and Arsenal are but to capitulate, so we’re nonetheless in with an opportunity. Anyway, who cares about that? Similar to buses…

Pete acquired one other good rating!!!!! WTH I hear you say. Yep, he predicted Metropolis would draw 2-2 and for the second weekend in a row, he was completely bang on. Nobody else got here shut and the weekend belonged to Pete.
