Suspect there will be a fair bit of rotation for this, given that we’ve already qualified. On the bright side, I’m leaving the country for a couple of days. On the downside, I’ll probably be coming back to another Tory government. Ah well. Team prediction:

Scott Carson
Tits out Jackie
Benjamin Mendy
Eric Garcia
Taylor Harwood-Bellis
Fanzone Danny
Tommy Doyle
Ilkay Gundogan
Pete the Badge
Riyad Mahrez
Curly Watts

Bench: Phil Foden
 
play the kids (especially the two centre halves ) Garica has had some time By Taylor HB has had very little and we need to see if we can use him or if we need to invest in this position. - we need to start seeing if they are good enough....we have top spot nailed on so nothing to lose.
 
Play the kids, a shame that Braaf isn’t eligible

............Bravo...........
Cancelo Ota Garcia Zinch
.........Gundogan..........
......Doyle...Foden........
Mahrez...Jesus.....Poveda/Bernabe
 
Fernandino suspended and Stones possibly injured, and anyone who's a booking away from missing the first knock out game shouldn't play.

So Garcia and Oti at centre half. Rest Ederson - don't care if it's Carson or Bravo, Cancello and Mendy to play, Foden, Doyle to start.
 
Take a leaf out of the bus drivers book. Qualification as group winners is assured so there’s literally no reason to play this. Ederson, Walker, cancelo,Fernandinho, stones, Otamendi, mendy, Rodri, Gundogan,silva, Kdb,Bernardo, mahrez, sterling and Jesus should all stay at home and not even travel. Take an entire u-21 team with bravo/Carson, Foden and zinchenko if he’s ready for game time.

I suspect what will actually happen is pep will take a full strength squad with 1/2 Eds additions that may make the bench
 
No need to risk Ederson, start Bravo and put Carson on the bench.

Fernandinho, Silva, De Bruyne and Sterling should also be nowhere near the starting eleven.
 
Bravo

Cancello Taylor HB Garcia Mendy

Gundogan

Marhez, Foden B. Silva, Zinchenko (If fit)

Jesus - needs to have hit arse kicked and made to play to get him sharper....needs to stop sulking!

We have to give the kids real game time to see if they can step up...no better opportunity than a dead rubber match

Jesus isn't sulking for mine. He's just one of those players that looks awful when a team is struggling - a luxury player as such.

It's not actually a dead rubber match.
Zagreb, Shakhtar and Atalanta still have a lot to play for.

What could we possibly lose by giving chances to likes of Foden Garcia Bellis Doyle Bernabe Braaf?
Not that we are on winning spree anyway.
