Which is the bigger game? Madrid on Tues or the Hammers on Sunday?

Both equally as big.

Agree, both the same magnitude

The league isn't done til the final whistle on the last day, was a serious comeback from City last night full credit to them

Palace on the final day is no gimmie either, expecting plenty of drama yet

Be nice to brush Athletico aside tomorrow night, but thats v unlikely ... interesting to see if Lewis-Skelly features in CM before the end of the week, very decent Zubamendi style performance at the weekend

Palace may have kids out with European final. West Ham is the game. Away to a team fighting relegation. Brentford could get result v City as they are good on counter and both teams need to win.

If Rodri is still out for Brentford game, makes them dropping points more likely. A similar midfield performance like last night would be kamikaze against Brentford, with the likes of Thiago knocking about behind.

Tonight for me.. Only because we could be on a crest of a wave if win tonight the momentum we'd carry forward into Sunday would hopefully take us over the line. Then you have two games that people would be wanting to put themselves in line to start in the final.

Agreed. From a historical perspective West Ham next weekend is the one - but you can't go into that on the back of a poor game against Athletico.

Michael Oliver could have blown that fuckin whistle any time

Bit of a weird team selection no?

Win will win both games with ease.

Game over

Victor Gyokeres.. What a f**king performance

Victor Gyokeres.. What a f**king performance

Man of the match. Class. Hold up play unreal.

[Milltown Row2]

Win three games and it's a seriously historic season

Win three games and it's a seriously historic season

Is it not 4 if including the CL? 3 may be enough but City could win them all and load on the goals.

[Milltown Row2]

City will drop points, as will Arsenal

City have not put that run everyone was saying they'll do, I think 82 points should be enough

Either way that final against either of the winners tomorrow game will be tough, even tougher than winning all three league games.

[Look-Up!]

Victor Gyokeres.. What a f**king performance

Man of the match. Class. Hold up play unreal.

I thought he looked championship standard and a bit of a dud a while back but he has really grown into the season of late. Hold up play, first touch, passing and running are all unrecognisable. An absolute animal tonight. His desire was infectious. Left it all out there on the pitch. If he can become a bit more clinical in front of the posts the sky's the limit for him.

Gyokeres unlocked that performance from Arsenal especially the last 20mins

Instead of retreating to the edge of the box and inviting a barrage to hang on, the level of pressing high up from the front 4 was awesome

Gyokeres was the first line of aggressive defence and a great out ball time and again, he must be full of confidence at the minute, was unlucky with a tough volley for 2-0, hopefully starts to find the net a bit more often now too

While not the biggest fan of Havertz I think he's potentially the better option vs Bayern/PSG, but you have to back Gyokeres after that performance as he'll run his balls off and Havertz won't

Havertz held up the ball up very well in the City league game. 

Gyokeres is a bit of a flat track bully who still has it all to prove in big games.  A few here getting a bit excited over a £60 million striker being able to hold the ball up and run around chasing a few lost causes.
