Light-Blue Chelsea

Tomorrow at Eastlands, we play the second-biggest game of our season so far and I don't think anyone is disillusioned by the size of the task.

City have a very impressive team, with a lot of very good players. I'm not sure if they have anyone in the same bracket as Fabregas or a bothered Arshavin (the rest of our 'worldies' won't be playing) but nevertheless they're a solid outfit.

Andy Johnson and James Milner, provided they're playing, could terrorise our fullbacks, Clichy in particular. If Squillaci or Djourou play on the ball too long, they'll be robbed by a seriously in-form Tevez and that can't happen if we're going to win.

I think that their front three will be De Silva, Tevez and Adebayor though. De Silva was very impressive when he came on against Blackpool and Adebayor is flying high after his hat-trick on Thursday with Tevez an automatic starter.

Their midfield nearly plays like a back-three. Toure, De Jong and Barry will do little more than sit and defend. Their back-four is anyone's guess really.

So there is a lot to deal with in that team. It's the exact same situation that we had to deal with at Stamford Bridge: a big physical team that can score goals. The main differences between that match and this one is that we're down Wilshere and Koscielny but we have Fabregas, Walcott and Bendtner back.

Our captain and Theo will be instrumental. We didn't have Cesc's... pure awesomeness, to be frank, against Chelsea nor did we have Walcott's pace on the wing. Those two things could very easily win us the match tomorrow. But other things will also have to be in place for that to happen.

A solid foundation in midfield is crucial. Alex Song and Nasri will have to be disciplined. And I'm more than confident that they will perform. I don't think Diaby will start because Arsene did say last week that he isn't 100% right since his recent knocks to the ankle.

Last year, we had a nightmare getting back in numbers and if we fail at that again, we'll lose. Walcott and Arshavin will have to support their fullbacks when we don't have the ball and Fabregas will have to work back consistently too.

I think that over-defensive tactics on City's part will see us control the game and win. If Mancini decides to let his side come out and play then we'll still score on the break.

I'm feeling really confident about this game and I can see us winning by two goals. I know our record in these fixtures is awful but I feel a change coming. So I'll say 0-2 with Walcott to open the scoring.
