William Hill have some excellent odds for this match: Kenwyne Jones to score the first goal and the match to finish 1-1 is enormously tempting at 66/1. Vincent Kompany is an astonishing 34/1 to score the first goal!
OOH!
Both Garcia and Kolarov to criticise, it must be christmas!
Nasri and Mario are not on the bench either, strange pick up though understandable considering stoke does not play a high tempo game.
The official line Siamack is that Mario has a ‘virus.’
I wonder if it is that highly virulent ‘off to Milan’ virus? Nasri picked up a slight muscle strain during training and was officially listed as ‘doubtful’ for today. In any event I doubt he’d have played ahead of James Milner away to Stoke. It will be interesting to see who lines up Tuesday night.
Izzet, thanx for the info.

Told you he wasn’t that fast over 10+ yards…
at what point was this proven?
Ball over the top and a race between Auguero and the keeper to the ball. Clearly Auguero is one of the best strikers in Europe; however, all I am saying is we lack real, searing pace up front (and in midfield for that matter) over the medium/longer distances and I think we do need it to give us another dimension. We are too one paced.
