we've got some covid issues plus a hell of a schedule coming up, so i think getting very comfortable by HT and coasting would be the ideal outcome. Brum are in shit nick at the moment, but the Cup can bring out a fight in a team, as can a trip to a big team.

the team is a bit of guesswork, more so than normal, with everything going on

Steffen
Walker - Ake - Laporte - Mendy
Rodri
Mahrez - Bernardo - Sterling
Jesus -Aguero

I would have thought the following will feature:
Zack, Walker, THB, Mendy, Bernardo, Sergio and Jesus. Chuck in Delap, maybe Rodri as he hardly played last night and we have a strong team. Hopefully one or both of Laporte and Ake will be available and they can play a half alongside THB. Don't want KDB, Ferny, Sterling, Gundo anywhere near this game. Brum should be more concerned about staying in the championship so doubtful they will go strong

Even if they can and do put their best 11 on the park and Covid might put an end to that that team of ours is very strong.

 

[David Silva #21]

He will only play 3 or 4 players from academy

Are Birmingham going to walk out in commemorative 2019-20 kits with 22 on the back in tribute to Jude Bellingham?

 

[chickaroon]

Just play Joe Hayes, Bobby Johnstone & Jack Dyson up front with the likes of Leivers, Ewing and Roy Paul (c) in support and we'll be fine.

And Don Revie as a deep lying centre forward.

Walker
THB
Laporte/Ake depending on fitness
Mendy

Rodri
Zinchenko
Bernardo

Torres if available/Nmecha
Sergio
FFS

Id suspect the likes of Delap, Bernabe, McAtee and Mbete may be on the bench

If fit I'd like Eric (the good one) on the left CB spot, Ake at LB. I'd also like as you mentioned to see Z at midfield. If he is forced to keep slotting in at LB I don't think we'll ever see his best although he was better there yesterday.
