Pre Match Manchester City v Leicester City

[Payne74]

Even Covid benefits the big 5 plus Spurs

To add to the joy, Liverpool's Boxing Day game has been called off so they'll also be lovely and fresh for the game on the 28th.

Can we keep the opposition to under 10 goals across these two matches? That's the question.

No.

Im piling on Man City to win by 4 clear goals.

The handicap betting on this looks good

Man City -3 goals is well worth a go at 3/1

 

[Rock Fox]

Comfortable home win

Problem is Man City are boring as **** and could easily just win by 1 or 2 depending on whether they can be arsed.

If they are called off due to covid on 26th then we should push for 28th off aswell.

It’s not Liverpool that have pushed for postponement it’s Leeds.

Not very brave of them

 

[Bezu Fache Fox]

We're actually better off choosing not to play and taking a 3 nil loss.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Oh come now. It's Christmas. Always a time for strange results.

(back to back 10-0 then?)

We always do well on boxing day.....

We always do well on boxing day.....

Well we did in 2018: League Cup QF loss to Man City on pens, quickly followed by victories either side of Xmas against Chelsea and the aforesaid LC opponents…. Then lost to Cardiff … at home.

We can but hope.

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Nah, Liverpool will take that from us, against us, a few days later.

A solid 5/6 goal defeat here should tee us up nicely for it.

Why does it seem like we always play Man City and Liverpool around this time every season?

I was thinking the same.

 

[Orifice]

When I was younger, so much younger than today, Man City used to play Liverpool every Boxing-Day - it was known and excepted. Over Christmas, teams used to play other 'local' teams.
Now we just play Man City and Liverpool.

But now those days are gone I'm not so self assured..

 

[Orifice]

We probably will need some help with this game.

Your memory might be playing tricks on you. They’ve only played five Boxing Day games ever, and one of those was in 1913. They also played Christmas Day that year. How old are you exactly?

Bit bored today, BM?
