They have not convinced me so far when I&#8217;ve watched them this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Based on all of that, I am going for City here. I can just picture Erling Haaland scoring their winner, and celebrating with a big grin on his face.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b>Sutton&#8217;s prediction: <\/b>1-2<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b>James on what should happen after City were found guilty of the majority of the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League: <\/b>I am not sure we should start handing out titles and cups to everyone who lost out to City during the period in question, including Liverpool. You can&#8217;t really take away those memories and emotional moments from the City players and fans, and just hand them to another team, but maybe on the official record those wins should be chalked off, or at least have an asterisk next to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It does also mean there is a very strange feeling around this fixture and the whole season too.
