So we don’t beat Manchester City very often, and our chances of getting anything this afternoon are extremely slim.
We did beat the Champions at the Boleyn Ground back in October, but playing at the Etihad is always a different prospect altogether.
Both sides have their got their own injury problems heading in to the afternoon, but you’d still expect City to come out on top. Unfortunately.
So if you’re a betting man then you’d undoubtedly be going for a City win today – but where’s the value in that?
