Presume we'll rotate heavily for this. Wonder if we'll play a back three, or put Mangala at left back to rest Mendy?

Bravo

Danilo
Adarabioyo
Kompany
Mangala

Delph
Foden
Gundogan

B Silva
Sterling
Sane

Subs: Muric, Walker, Mendy, Stones, Toure, Diaz, Jesus

KDB, Silva, Aguero can come on in the 2nd half if we need them.

4-0 City

Looks like a very reasonable team, I wont be surprised to see Mendy play at LB (I think he is still getting up to speed!) and have Mangler with Komps (A once good partnership).

For anybody travelling to this just be aware of the roadworks on M5 J1-J2 it's a bloody nightmare round the J1 island for the Hawthorns!! Probably adding at least 30 mins on to normal travel time when it's a pretty shit journey at the best of times!

I think we will see at left wing back again. He doesn't look comfortable in that position but I think pep will want to coach it into him in case we have any injuries. Maybe Kompany in for stones.

Pep said this is a "final." Plus we are playing a PL team away.

He will make changes but some suggestions here are ridiculous.

With important senior members of the first team needing minutes Pep won't start the kids. They haven't even made bench recently.

Would expect to see something like

Bravo

Danilo
Stones
Kompany
Mangala

Delph
Gundogan
Bernardo

Sane
Jesus
Sterling

Mangala, Delph, Gundogan, Bravo, Sane all played very little and need minutes. Bernardo also needs to play. I think it would be drastic to start Yaya as he hasn't played at all. Put him on the bench and bring him on early in the second half for Gundogan. Sterling has not played much recently so he should start despite playing the full game today.

If we are winning comfortably we can bring on Foden/Diaz/Tosin otherwise we need to bring players like De bruyne/Aguero to try to win the game. Pep wants to win it all he is not going to throw away the game and start Diaz, Foden and Tosin, I know they did great in pre season but a trophy is on the line here, to many not a "big" one but a trophy is a trophy.
