Dias will surely be rested. He needs one and Laporte needs game time. Stones had his rest so comes back in so surely it will be Laporte and Stones for Burnley and Dias and Stones for Liverpool.You don’t rest the kingpin, I don’t think pep would do that, could be wrong!
Realistically, everyone bar Ederson needs resting at some point. And after resting Stones last match, he might have decided to give both of our main centre backs a rest one after the other as opposed to both in the same game. Calculated risks that all top clubs have to take to win in the long run.You don’t rest the kingpin, I don’t think pep would do that, could be wrong!

I could be miles off but I can see Dias and Foden being rested, then in the two games prior, we’ll have given a break to Dias, Stones, Cancelo, Rodri, Foden, Sterling and Mahrez. Whilst hopefully still getting maximum points. That would set us up perfectly for the rest of this month.

Hehe was expecting you to comment, unlike Delap playing you're going to have to accept this one is going to run & run.Hilarious
Still doesn’t make it funny though, or if it does please explain how? Interesting that we are playing Burnley tonight, cos telling the same unfunny “joke” is a trait of inbredsHehe was expecting you to comment, unlike Delap playing you're going to have to accept this one is going to run & run.
It's probably gone past calling him & become a nickname for him now.
Like a said it's probably morphed into a nickname now so it's here to stay in all likelihood.Still doesn’t make it funny though, or if it does please explain how? Interesting that we are playing Burnley tonight, cos telling the same unfunny “joke” is a trait of inbreds
Half this thread is about the Liverpool game. Let's not take this one for granted. Burnley are not going to be pushovers and we need to be laser focused.
Didn’t Raz miss one of the biggest all time sitters in that drawn game?To be expected when we've only lost to Burnley once since 1975.
Since Pep arrived here our record is P12 W11 D1 L0 F40 A5
No game is ever won before the final whistle, but Burnley are shit, and Pep's always exposed them for what they are. The one time we dropped points we were 16 points clear at the top of the table and got a bit complacent at the end of the match.
i don't put anything past him.You don’t rest the kingpin, I don’t think pep would do that, could be wrong!
Swansea are a much better footballing side than Burnley right now, with a lot more upfront.Crazy people resting Dias!!!
Rest him against Swansea.
All good points but Fern v dips is a must.I don’t get all this talk of resting players tomorrow night.
This is probably the biggest week of our season so far, it’s not the time to bench players who are bang in form.
We can chop and change for the Swansea game and give our key players a week off until we play spurs.
Ederson, Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Foden, Bernardo have to start the next two in my opinion.
The other 3 is anyone’s guess as I don’t think any of our forward line are particularly in form.
I can see Fern starting against Burnley and Rodri against the murderers.
I’d love that to be the case but I just don’t see Pep benching Rodri for our biggest game of the seasonAll good points but Fern v dips is a must.
