Solskjaer Factor to Give Cardiff the Edge over Slick Manchester City
Manchester City have an awesome record at the Etihad this season. In 10 games played, they have won 10, scored 38 goals and conceded just six.
That makes them unanimous favourites for the game against Cardiff City on Saturday, a side that dropped into the Premier League's bottom three after an insipid defeat against West Ham last weekend.
However, they will be galvanised by the appointment of Manchester United great Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a man whose long allegiance to the Red Devils means he will be desperate to get his first league win as Cardiff boss against his old foes.
Much is expected of Solskjaer after his appointment at the Premier League new-boys. He is a bright young manager and has shown his credentials through his success at Molde, and he will have detailed plans on how he intends to exploit City's individual weaknesses, as per WhoScored.com.
Cardiff have already shown that they have the credentials to beat Manuel Pellegrini's side in the league this season, via a 3-2 victory back in August, and the Solskjaer factor could prove crucial in them completing an unlikely double.
Prediction: Manchester City 1-2 Cardiff

Would love to be optimistic with this one, but after thinking we would get three points from each of the Sunderland and West Ham games, it's just not happening.
Man City are an incredible force at home, and I fully expect them to win the league. I just hope we can put in a good performance similar to what Palace managed a couple of weeks back.

One thing all city fans should know by now is to expect the unexpected !
We've never taken any notice of when we should and shouldn't win
Wouldn't suprise me in the least if we nicked a point , it's the type of thing we do
Nobody expected anything from them last time , we won
Most people expected us to beat sunderland , we drew
Nobody expected anything from utd , we got a point
Everyone tipped us to beat west ham , we lost
We are every football coupon gamblers nightmare
