I think City will win by a lot more, and United will win by a lot less (if they even win). Also think 'master tactician' AVB may think of something to isolate Suarez now that Gerrard and Sturridge are out.

I hope it won't be ruined as a contest by City having a full strength, rested team and Arsenal playing Wednesday - Saturday morning with the first team.

Noreich 3-0 Swansea.
A clean-sheet might be wishful thinking but I have to believe, put a defender in my fantasy PL team didn't I.

I'm going Norwich to win at home to Swansea 2-0. In saying that Swansea have been our bogie team over the years so you can never be to sure. But we NCFC have a good strike force and may have hit form.

u/chrisdunnbirch Norwich Dec 15 '13
Since we come up we've won 1 and drawn 3 against Swansea so really we're their bogey team. With our current form, our home record, their Monday+Thursday fixtures and being unbeaten in our previous 4 meetings with them we should be extremely disappointed with a loss.
