I do not want Sterling to start this game. I've lost all faith in him.

I'd go...
...................Ederson...................
Cancelo Dias Laporte Zinchenko
......Bernardo Rodri KDB..........
Mahrez ......Aguero .........Foden

Bring on Torres and Jesus at some stage. NO STERLING!!!!!

Should be a strong team as it’s the first time this season we’ve not had a midweek game.

Sorry but I thought we played on Tuesday. Anyway, hopefully Pep knows which of his team plays best in wet slippery conditions. I haven't a clue which ones but it does seem that certain players slip over more than others.

Give the A team one more run out. Smash them today and leave them with plenty of work to do in their remaining games. After that the A team is rested and let’s give some kids: Delap Doyle etc some game time and of course Sergio, as he may still have one more “Aguero Moment” left.We really need to manage the game time of: Dias Walker KDB Foden Silva and I never thought I would ever say this but Mahrez,

Horrific weather, glad I didn’t end up booking a table outside Brotherhood for this one

One or two of ours play like they've got ice skates on

Calm about this game , no where near the nerves of last Tuesdays game , think Pep will put out a strong team , going for a 3-1 win hopefully Aguero gets a couple to break Rooney's record.

 

[lionheart]

It’s meant to stop raining at 2pm ish, so 3 hours before ko, pitch will be amazing :)

And it will start pissing down again around 6pm for the rest of the evening.

How many of those you have picked starting have you lost FAITH with in the past, ?

 

[Gozzah]

If We play Mendy, We loose, they will just overrun our left side nonstop.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Go all out for this. 1 - We make a statement before the CL final. 2 - We win the title early. 3 - Chelsea are then forced to fight for the rest of the season leading up to the CL final. Because of this I think Pep will go for a much better team than we had in the FA cup

That is the logical sensible thing to do, so probably will not happen.

They didn't in the semi-final if I remember correctly. They mainly troubled us down our right side.

 

[PragueBlue]

I'd go for:

Ederson

Cancelo Dias Laporte Zinchenko

Rodri

Bernardo Foden

Sterling Jesus Torres

It would give us some energy and legs around Rodri in midfield to start. I think Torres would be better suited to the left and Sterling to the right. Aguero on for Jesus at 60 mins and KDB and/or Gundogan in midfield at about the same stage.

Hope the game goes ahead, rain been biblical for last few hours

Big threat next season you’s will be which I’m delighted with as it will keep either of them two red shite off top as I can’t see past us or Chelsea for the title,as for the champions league final well it’s a one off game anything can happen,but if we play to the level we can I expect us to come out on top.Anyhow sure I’ve mentioned it before I don’t mind Chelsea obviously apart from when playing ourselves,and expect them to turn leicester over easy enough as I think they will freeze on the day,and have definitely dropped off recently performance wise ..
