Manchester City have failed plenty of times to see off home teams when taking the lead which is a worry and sure people will have that in there back of minds, but now under Mancini, being Italian he'll be sure to sharpen up City in defence and since the takeover, they've produced three clean sheets. I'd still worry against the better premiership teams but the likes of Blackburn, who have really struggled away from Ewood, winning only one in there last 15 and losing twelve, I'm not a great deal worried. The home side will be missing a couple of key players, with Adebayor & Toure both at the African Cup, Ireland & Lescott also missing. They still have adequate cover and with the likes of Tevez & Bellamy n a hot streak, I find them hard to oppose.
Blackburn's boss has mentioned how important the mid week Home match is against Avilla (carling Cup) Blackburn managed to knock chelsea out on PK shoot out.. so i expect them resting key players against City.
