85 min “Pep must see his core group as fully fit and ready for action coz I can’t imagine why he hasn’t introduced Lewis, Philips or Gomez and instead is risking Silva and Grealish, ” says Rich C. “As for not resting Rodri! Well, I guess the bald-headed one knows. ”Yes, it’s fair to say he probably knows his squad, the game, and what it takes to win a title better than we do. Rodri the Machine.

I don’t think Guardiola can find a way of galaxybraining a defeat to either Milan club, and as for the Cup Final, United look like a team who’ve already played their best football this season, and without Lisandro Martinez they’re missing their playmaker and best defender. 80 min That being the case, I’m thinking about the next one. I can see how Madrid might beat City – they could perhaps outrun and out-strength them in midfield, if Ancelotti is prepared to leave out Kroos and Modric for Tchouameni and Cmavinga, which I doubt. Otherwise, they’ll hope to defend well and that their superstars play better than City’s. I can’t really see that, and had City had Haaland they’d have been clear last season before football and Real Madrid happened, so I’d expect a 3-1 home win or similar.
But City won, and on his first goal, he reckons the defenders were preoccupied with Haaland so he had space, then as the ball came over he had to adapt. His is a very experienced team, the margin for mistakes is slim, they know that, and having “lived this moment in the past” gives them an advantage. They have to stay calm and do their thing; well, they are. Sam Kerr has put Chelsea in front with 22 minutes to go! As for Everton, they stay fourth-bottom, a point ahead of Leeds, two in front of Leicester, and two behind Forest. Full time: Everton 0-3 Manchester CityHard going to begin with, easy in the end.
It’s impossible to see another outcome. Under way soon. Brentford have beaten West Ham 2-0, but with the latter three points clear of Forest, five ahead of Everton and seven beyond Leicester, they look safe enough. Gundogan, who always seems like the loveliest man, says Goodison has “become very very tough for us”.
79 min Let’s be real: both sides know this game is over, and are playing accordingly. 78 min Double change for City, Bernardo and Grealish for Gundogan and Haaland. 77 min Iwobi crosses from the left but the ball won’t drop for Onana and Laporte pokes in a boot to clear. 76 min Dyche swaps Garner for Gray; Garner disappears straight down the tunnel, so is, presumably, knacked in some way. 74 min Mahrez escapes down the right and swings over a cross that looks headed for Haaland, but Patterson does well to stay with him and hook away.
