Happy with the Swansea draw yesterday, we didn't play well but that point means we sneaked into the top half and if you liked the feisty derby yesterday then there plenty more this Sunday because its Cardiff v Swansea!

Bony is still settling in though and he is hot and cold atm
Also I think the Europa league is affecting us as well as we are still getting used to the Thus-Sun routine and Laudrup is doing a lot of tinkering to keep the squad fresh

@Hyped I actually prefer the old 4-4-2 formation. I think Liverpool may be the only club that actually plays it nowadays. The 4-4-2 allows for extra width in the midfield sacrificing depth and a bit of hold up play. I think that the 4-2-3-1 suits some clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool but doesn't suit other clubs like Manchester United at all.

@Ross For the past few games, we've been playing a 3-5-2/5-3-2 sort of formation, but for the most part, Rodgers likes to get Sturridge and Suarez up together, with Coutinho in the middle. We could be suited to a 4-4-2, but we don't have much in the way of quality wingers. If we switch to a 4 back formation we'll likely use a 4-3-1-2, since Coutinho is back in the mix this week.
EDIT: Just looked into it, and the only teams that are predicted to line up a side-by-side striker pair are Liverpool, City, and Sunderland. Teams that play 2 stacked strikers are Fulham, United, Southampton, and Swansea.

Capitol One Cup tonight and tomorrow then, Arsenal-Chelsea is the tv game and Mourinho isn't happy that they have to play so soon after the City game on Sunday (hes got a point), And he said he will pick he players that weren't involved in the game which includes Mata, Luiz, Ba, Willian and Eto'o so for that reason I fancy Chelsea!
Also its United-Norwich and Moyes has said he will pick Zaha...its about time!

@DQuaN Good point, at least we get to see a bit of Januzaj and Zaha. They may provide the clinical finishing that we need. Also, we seem to have 5 defenders (Rafael, Ferdi, Vidic, Buttner and Jones). I don't know if Jones will play in the pivot alongside Cleverley or we will play a 5-1-3-1 formation and just try and defend.
