[Lineker]

Man City already a goal up through Raheem Sterling, then.

[Kyle]

This could end up with a five goal lead at some point.

When do Man City play somebody decent? I want to see if Guardiola is actually going to be able to just muller every single team like he seemingly did with Barca and Bayern. I hope not, because that'd be bad for the Premier League.

The very next Premier League match (Sat 10th Sept, 12:30pm) has them at Old Trafford.

Whatever odds anyone's giving on a draw in that match, they're still not short enough.

Jose is going Mourinho the shit out of that game and walk away with a 0-0 or a 1-0 win.

Either that or they going to get taken apart. Historically it seems Pep's teams either score a bunch of goals against Mourinho's or Mourinho gets a draw or wins by a one goal advantage..

[Gazz]

It's going to be the ultimate tactical battle, Man City playing out from the back, knocking long passes out wide to the full backs and then passing sideways for 90 minutes because Jose has parked the bus.

[Baddar]

Or it'll be a great game and finish 3-3.

Quote

Sergio Agüero has been charged with violent misconduct and could miss next month’s derby with Manchester United after the City striker appeared to elbow West Ham’s Winston Reid during the Premier League match on Sunday. A statement from the FA said: “Sergio Agüero has been charged for an alleged act of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video. The Manchester City forward was involved in an incident with West Ham United’s Winston Reid in the 76th minute of the game on Sunday [28 August 2016]. He has until 6pm on Wednesday 31 August to reply. Off the ball incidents which are not seen at the time by the match officials are referred to a panel of three former elite match officials. Each panel member will review the video footage independently of one another to determine whether they consider it a sending-off offence. For retrospective action to be taken, and an FA charge to follow, the decision of the panel must be unanimous.”

Three match ban for Aguero.

He's gonna score an own goal when Leicester plays Man Utd and take off his shirt to reveal a Man Utd one, NWO style. 

[Colly]

Musa hasn't been a Leicester fan since childhood? Mind blown.
