And that was Brentford.
So the rest, both teams to score and the Premier League team winning all landed.
So some big hackers out there for someone.
What do you think is going to happen?
I can't see how Manchester City don't win this game because Michael Carrick goes into this job and he's seen Darren Fletcher get two poor results in his interim two games.
They had 48 shots on goal in those two games, Man United.
18 on target.
Carrick can't go in there and instil his Middlesbrough virtues, which was heavily possession-based, bring teams onto you and then hit them.
They cannot do that against... He's not going to have instilled that in them in that many days.
And they can't do that against Manchester City anyway because they'll get battered.
Now, if they go out and play Man City in the way that Fletcher has been setting them up, go and attack...
which everyone talks about this more attacking style, they'll still get battered, but it might be a bit more.
They might score a goal or two themselves.
Obviously, we're expecting to have Brian and Bumo back.
Ahmad's back as well from AFCON.
We don't know if they'll start the games, but you'd hope they would.
So I can see goals.
I think Man City, they need a win.
Maybe it's a bit much to call it must win, but for their title credentials, if Man City had drawn the last three, if they'd won those three, they would be top of the Premier League right now.
So they can't draw or lose this game.
