Hard to think of a non-Liverpool game which i've been this anxious about. 13/14 i guess there were a few City games you felt invested in, but that City team were different and were prone to a slip-up or two in the run-in, so the desperation wasn't as much when watching them. This City team we know are pretty fearsome, so this one good opportunity that has popped up for them to slip up feels like a do-or-die moment.
I know many believe there is hope left after this but it will end up being a very long shot if they came through this. It's hard to ever have much hope in City dropping points at home. An incredible home record for two seasons now, so the Leicester game for me is a non-starter. Burnley away is a tough game on a normal day but the issue is how much are they going to put into it. For the smaller sides to get something off City, their intensity off the ball always has to be at it's absolute maximum. Serious doubts about whether Burnley will be playing at their usual narky self. Brighton are one side who could bring their best if they're in a relegation battle, but again a major long shot. Their lack of attacking threat is a big problem.
It's pretty much all on tonight. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst i guess.
