Well in ijjy. Hope everyone gets behind the team and we get a positive result. Theyre vulnerable without kompany and would be a big boost for the rest of the season.

Correct.

 

[smileychap]

That would be my team, as it would for many other people I'm sure. Which probably means it won't be the one Bobby puts out.

EDIT: Probably Mori for Jagielka as I doubt he'll be ready yet. Bring him on later on in the game if we're winning?

And Mirallas for Clev.

The fact that it's January and @ijjysmith is still writing previews boggles the mind.

Just win this one Everton. There's plenty of season left to disappoint me.

Manchester City

• Yaya Toure has scored three times in his past four Premier League games, having scored one in 13 prior to that
• Man City secured their first Premier League away victory in seven attempts on Sunday
• They won the League Cup in 1970, 1976 and 201435237484

Check out that last match fact regarding Man City on the BBC.
Get the mortgage on City like future Biff did in BTTF2 for the year 201435237484

I knew Man City were good at football, but I didn't know they were Time Lords. Mind you, Pellegrini does look a bit like the Third Doctor.

Could do with a good atmosphere tonight as having any sort of lead going into the 2nd leg is a must.

how can you "dread" a semi final?

You may not be confident of winning......but it is an occasion to look forward to and enjoy.

At least until the whistle blows to start the game....

Hope we go positively tonight... my starting line-up would be Robles behind the ten outfield players who finished on Sunday in a 4-3-3 formation.
Robles
Coleman Stones RFM Baines
Besic Barry Cleverley
Deulofeu Lukaku Barkley

COYB !!!
