We here at the blog really enjoy holiday weekends (Martin Luther King, Jr Day here in the US) when there's also an afternoon match. This one will be particularly interesting with Manchester City needing a win to regain some semblance of momentum after a rough holiday period. They'll go into the match without two of their most important players (in the real world, not fantasy) in Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure who are out due to suspension (which was weak) and the African Cup of Nations.

Join us for a chat as the match unfolds.
