PREVIEW

Our new feature for the New Year - "Away Fans" - continues with two of the best unofficial Manchester City sites on the net: 'MCFC Supporters Homepage' and 'www.mancity.net'. What do they think of their team's prospects against us on Saturday? Read on to find out...

AWAY FANS: A view from the Away End

AWAY FANS - Site 1:

*Site: MCFC Supporters Homepage

* Do you think you're having a good season?

There have been ups and downs, and in some games City have been really unlucky not to have come out on top. All in all, it will be a good season if we stay up.

* Who do you think is your best player(s) ?

Steve Howey has been wonderful in the back-four, and Paulo Wanchope has scored on a regular basis.

* Your worst player(s) ?

Really, we don't have any ;-)

*Your players to watch (youngsters or underrated players) ?

Shaun Wright-Philips, the son of Ian Wright is a really great prospect. He has been a regular this season, but was dropped after the abysmal performance against Charlton. So I'm not sure that he'll play on Saturday.

Another unknown player is Andy Morrison. He's a really tough central defender. Your strikers will know who he is after the game....

*Your preferred formation for Saturday's game?

I guess either 4-4-2 or 5-3-2.

*Your best chant ?

"Blue Moon" is a winner, but I remember "Niall Quinn's disco pants" was a real treat. Obviously it's a bit out of date nowdays ;-)

*Where do you think City will finish in the Premiership this season ?

Nice try!

*Prediction for Saturday and City scorers (if applicable)?

We'll get home with a draw (1-1). Wanchope will score.

AWAY FANS - Site 2:

*Site: www.mancity.net

*URL: www.mancity.net

* Do you think you're having a good season?

Better than our position indicates. We are happy with a large number of our players. Pity we haven't had much luck and Weaver has made a few mistakes that has cost us points

* Who do you think is your best player(s) ?

Danny Tiatto is worth £10m on his good days!

* Your worst player(s) ?

Nobody springs to mind, although Richard Edghill and Nicky Weaver have not enhanced themselves this season as much as we had hoped they would so far.

*Your players to watch (youngsters or underrated players) ?

Shaun Wright-Phillips could become a big star. He could be in the Owen, Joe Cole mould if he scores a few goals and becomes as confident as his step-dad.

*Your preferred formation and line-up for Saturday's game?

3-5-2

Weaver, Edghill, Morrison, Howey, Dunne, Granville, Haaland, Weikens, Tiatto, Huckerby, Goater.

*Your best chant ?

"We're going to win the league!"...not heard it for a very long time!

*Where do you think City will finish in the Premiership this season ?

One place above the relegated teams.

*Prediction for Saturday and City scorers (if applicable)?

1-1...Huckerby and Smith.
