City win for me. 2-1 perhaps.

A little nervous but if we play our a game should be able to do it, looking forward to seeing if nandos current form is only a blip or is he going to smash em in today.

DazMarz

This is the day for Torres to prove that this current run is not just a paranormal event. It's all well and good scoring goals in the Europa League or whatever. If he can play well today and score at least once, you'd have to start believing a little bit again.

This is a huge game for both teams. City's sole chance for silverware left. Chelsea have attention on other competitions, so they might drop the ball. Both in decent enough form of late, so it could be a good game. Chelsea are long overdue a win over City, so here's hoping it will be today.

I presume this goes to ET and penos if it's tied after 90 mins? I would hope to avoid that at all costs if it does. There's enough fixtures left between now and may without having to play 120 mins today.

Rumour is that David Silva didn't travel with Man City

That's a major bonus! I'd much rather fa cup than losers/europa league.

Silva's out from what I know, absolute disaster given how well he's been playing lately. I'd have swapped three points on Monday to have him today tbh.

Gives Chelsea a massive boost as well, though Ba being out is a good thing for us.

It'll be a close game, don't fancy making a prediction.

Xavi6

City as expected:

Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy, Yaya, Barry, Milner, Tevez, Nasri, Aguero.

Whens richard going to get a go in goal :pac:

colly_06

I'm glad Hart isn't starting, would've been harsh to drop Pantillimon since he's started every game

Gonzovision

Cech; Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, David Luiz, Bertrand; Ramires, Mikel; Hazard, Mata, Oscar; Ba

Xavi6

Thought Ba was injured but he's starting

Strong Chelsea team anyway

Kirby

Luiz, Ivanovic and Mikel in the heart of that team. That's a shocking choice from Benitez. What is he thinking.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Aguero score a hat-trick.

Kylo Ren

In all seriousness, I just want a great game.

Panthro

Chelsea bench looks good on paper.

DazMarz

Ropey start from Chelsea. Man City threatening a lot. Already hit the side-netting, Aguero. Ominous.

colly_06

What's with Chelsea in their away kit?

Panthro

Some charge by Yaya.

City are well up for this

Here Precious2

as a spurs fan , extra time in this would be nice.

Will I Amnt

City bossing this so far. They look bang in form of late.

Blatter

You'd know Chelsea played in Russia on Thursday, very lethargic so far. City are much fresher.

Blatter

Shocking from Foy not to give a card there.

tigger123

Better!

Xavi6

No use dominating if you don't turn it into goals.

pistolpetes11

Barry gets the Yellow when he slipped but Yaya kicked out at him when he went by

klose

Always a good day when eva gets some screen time

pistolpetes11

City must of been Rugby training during the week , some of the challenges !

Turing into a proper game here

tigger123

Shocking defending.

Darkglasses

NASRI!! GET IN!!

Xavi6

Of all people!

DazMarz

That's been coming... Useless defending and shocking play most of the time. City by far the better team.

Kylo Ren

Nice deflection there for Nasri.

Will I Amnt

Decent game, needed a goal. Very fortunate to get through there.

Here Precious2

Start of all these games catching up with Chelski now me thinks

pistolpetes11

Is Mata on a Yellow for the final if they make it ?

Because he let Yaya away there when if it was the other way around Yaya would of taken him out ,

Nice finish after a lucky bounce

klose

Jaysus

Xavi6

Should be two

GLaDOS

Chelsea all over the place, should have been 2-0

Kirby

I could see this coming an absolute mile away. Ivanovic and Luiz aren't centre backs and Mikel is an awful player.

Here Precious2

Why isn't 'captain leader legend' not playing?

collie0708

Wow Chelsea will do we'll to get to half time at only 1-0....

Benitez doesn't like him or Lampard...

Xavi6

Half has flown by, and it's been a decent enough game.

Kylo Ren

Ah Vinny...

tigger123

Let off.

SEPT 23 1989

very happy with that:)

GLaDOS

Have to be scoring there

DazMarz

City should be 2-0 up now. If it had been Aguero/Tevez/whoever running onto that ball instead of Kompany, it would be. Chelsea are damn lucky that it's only 1-0.

Xavi6

Lol wtf was Vinny doing there?! Crap ball from Milner.

Will take 1-0 at the break.
