Would like to see Garcia and Foden start, but suspect Guardiola will go with experience and opt for Otamendi and Silva instead.

I agree. But Foden should be starting. I don’t see him as a youth player either now

Looking forward to the game tonight....let's hope we turn up with our A game, which I am sure the lads will be fired up for to put a marker down for next season.

So we're without our all-time top scorer, without our defensive lynchpin, against an unchanged (again), full-strength Liverpool side, without a home crowd, having taken a grand total of 4 points from a possible 27 against our nearest rivals, and people think we are going to win ?

I certainly do.

One thing Ferny hasnt been this season is our defensive lynchpin. If he isnt playing DM then id rather Gacia / Laporte played.

Ederson

Walker
Otamendi
Laporte
Mendy

Rodri
KDB
Bernardo

Sterling
Mahrez
Jesus

I suspect Pep will go with Silva or Gundogan in midfield and I'm nervous that if one of them plays alongside Rodri we will get overran in midfield. I'd rather have KDB and Bernardo/Forden in there.

Time for Sterling to end his run of poor form against Liverpool, its a big game for him.

Please not Rodri / Gundo in midfield, that just doesn't end well.

That's my concern as well!

Agreed with all that. I've a bad feeling it will be another Rodri and Gundogan partnership. Bernardo and KDB have to play in midfield together.

Klippety now has stated we have a point to prove ? We won back to back titles , eight out of the last ten domestic trophies , maybe he hhas a point to prove , his "eggs in one basket" style of management needs questioning , if the Dippers are the best team ever then surely they will have no isuues sweeping the board next year
But as he only has ten decent players he will have to continue with this one trophy a season attitude , and leave the trophy collecting to Pep
