Assuming we at least draw against Dortmund next week and top the group hopefully we’ll see a few kids on the bench for the Sevilla game.
Hopefully we make changes. Pep will want to win the group, so if we do that by avoiding defeat in Dortmund it is a wonderful opportunity to give players some game time in the CL which they'll long remember. It's the first of 4 home games in a row before the World Cup, with Fulham in the league, Chelsea in the Cup and Brentford in the league to follow it (bit of a SW London theme there). We'll need to rotate for that one as I'd imagine Pep wants a strong team in the league cup.

Dortmund will be eyeing Borges. Maybe even part of a Bellingham deal.The lads played some wonderful stuff,and despite Derby's physicality and occasional dark art tactics.....they stood up and responded impressively.
Borges was well in the mood,he's almost unplayable at times and his superbly taken goals would have graced any game.He needs to be recognised by Pep sooner rather than later otherwise he'll be off.

They're no doubt eyeing a lot of our lads, I can see Mebude going there but Borges looks likely to want to make it directly with City (IMHO).Dortmund will be eyeing Borges. Maybe even part of a Bellingham deal.

Yep and Walker needlessly got a three game ban as a result.No Chance, Pep will use Sevilla games as mean to keep our match sharpness high. We tend to be terrible if we play only one or two match a week, so he will use Sevilla as momentum to keep the first team player fit for the match.
Last season he also do this in CL dead rubber group match, he will continue to do so this season.

The ban is Walker fault and his fault alone, he doesn't need to be a brain fart in dead rubber match.
