Liverpool are quality,they will attack and press,Gundogan won't get a free ride tomorrow so Rodris ability to put a foot in and break up their play will be needed.Just hope he doesn't play both,im fairly confident he's over that illness.

yup, and that's why I agreed with the team that had Rodders, BUT Pep's default selections are not surprising was my point, hopefully we don't see both Rodri and Gundy or Mahrez to start. I'm hoping your really really confident.

• Ederson
• Walker
• Dias
• Laporte
• Cancelo
• Gündogan
• Rodri
• Foden
• De Bruyne
• Sterling
• Torres

Bernado and Jesus to both come on @60 mins if it's going tits up.

Bernardo plays well against Liverpool and his work rate will be critical. He starts for me alongside KDB and Rodri

 

[lasereyes]

Happy days

We were brilliant and as you say so was the crowd. Play anything like that and we win comfortably tomorrow

 

[lasereyes]

Enjoy.

Makes me sad to see how many of those goals Sane contributed to.

I'll have a fiver with you mate that both Rodri and Gundogan start, and probably Mahrez.

Agree Gundogan and Rodri will both start, Foden will miss out. Mahrez will probably get the nod over Torres

Feeling apprehensive, desperate to beat these thieving murdering wankers.

Just watched BBC news and they said "the dippers need a point to return to the top of the league"

No mention of City could close the gap on them with a win.

We turn up we win, just wish i was as confident as some on here..

Their front three are excellent but our back 4 will be better than it was when we beat them 4-0 earlier this year. Our midfield is always better and without Van Dijk they are weaker.

Would start Jesus and have Torres and Sterling either side of him. De Bruyne, Bernardo and Rodri would be my midfield three. But I think Pep will play Rodri and Gundogan and wouldn't be surprised to see Mahrez start either ahead of Torres.

I think either Foden or Bernado but probably Foden will start on the right ahead of Mahrez to put more of a shift in. I don’t think Foden being very poor the other night will make any odds to Pep’s selection today as he knows what he’ll get from Foden in terms of graft from either flank.

 

[bluemoon32]

I hate these games nowadays almost as much as i hate the derby games.
Just hope we can keep the intensity going today for longer than 20 minute spells

 

[Del_Bosque]

I think Torres will start as he’s bang in form

Mahrez will probably play if jesus doesn’t start

he’d be nowhere near the team for me

 

[SublimeSane]

Be disappointed if Torres doesn't start up top . There will be a lot more room against Liverpool and he is top class . Great finisher good link up play and can pick a pass . No brainer for me

As obvious as night following day we see Gundogan, Rodri and Mahrez in the starting eleven

Not for me, rather see him in his natural position out wide. Jesus has to start against Liverpool a proper focal point up top is desperately needed

I hope you're right but Foden seldom starts consecutive games. But predicting Pep's line up is like predicting lottery numbers

Agreed. You could see the difference of having a front man against Olympiakos the other night. As well as that, Gabby is fabulous at starting off our press he's fantastic at it.

 

[oldhamblue]

If he has Mahrez in his starting line up, Pep should be sacked before kick off

Seriously lad try and be more positive before kick off. IF Mahrez does start and has a complete stinker the would be the time to have a pop if you wanted to. But for now its optimism we need.
