Middlesborough 0 Manchester City 1

FA Cup Third Round game and a potential banana skin for the new Manager. After 2 wins and 2 clean sheets the 'typical' City way would be to lose this one against a boro side struggling under Strachan. Despite a few changes brought on through injuries and attendance at the African Nations, City bossed the game in fact I can't remember Given making a save.

Another graduate of the academy Dedryck Boyata made his debut and in very promising style while Petrov continues to prove why he can play a key part in Mancini's plans. Another win, a goal from Benjani and yet again another clean sheet.

A new year, a new City? Wednesday night against a seriously upset Rag team (well done Leeds!) awaits.
