Probably the perfect outcome today. No hype about them having “extra incentive” BS that it is but they will be low from a poor few weeks.

Absolutely this, with Cancelo/Laporte/Rodri/Sterling/Jesus providing bench options. Everyone else is there to make up the numbers, those 16 are the core of the squad, with Agüero a possible wildcard.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Serious prediction time.
It feels like surely it has to be City's time doesn't it? Like Pep said after the PSG tie, so much is down to little details, luck and how it's written in the stars. If there's any justice City will do it, this is the best team in Europe and hopefully they'll reinforce it on Saturday but of course things don't always work that way.

I honestly don't know what to expect. Think I'll know how I feel when I see Pep closer to the day, if it's the chilled, happy Pep we've been seeing recently I'll feel pretty confident.

Definitely. It’s all on the game now with no weird carrot dangling for them. Getting in through the back door after another defeat is good. They’re stumbling to the end of the season so it’s on us to go out there and play at our optimum.

More worried about the ref than the,actual opposition - we're good enough to overcome both.

That's the team most are picking including myself. I think pep might go with Rodri. I have this weird feeling about Silva missing out. Not sure why though.

Aguero has to have a 20 min cameo after those 2 goals today. The first was class

The second wasn’t too bad, either!

Then, that twat, Pickford, spoiled what could have been a fairy tale finish! Never forget!

We've a lot of players who look fucking raring to go.

Chelsea were sloppy and undisciplined in a game they needed to win today (luckily for them it worked out).


---------------Ederson
Walker---Stones---Dias---Zinchenko
--------------Fernandinho
------Bernardo-----Gundogan
Mahrez-------De Bruyne-------Foden

I am wondering whether he will consider a striker but I think maybe only from the bench.

Can’t see any other starting lineup assuming all those are fit come Saturday. quite funny that several of the boo boys favorite targets are not droppable for biggest game in our history.

Great team that and I'll be happy if thats the starting line up. Chelsea will be mesmerized by our possession.

Sorry hilts but I don’t think Pep will have you on the team sheet next weekend.

Team picks itself, no selection dilemmas for Pep unless he decides to go back madcap ideas which I can't see. Jesus will consider himself unlucky not to start.

We will benefit big time from not giving Chelsea the benefit of a game against our first 11. All those that maoned about Pep doing it will look like fools when they can't cope with our game.

 

[PragueBlue]

Only question really is Rodri or Fernandinho. I think he'll go with Fernandinho but wouldn't be surprised if Rodri started.

I don't think people complained about the Chelsea league match but the FA cup match selection and players performance were well below par.
A quadruple would have been unique and possibly never repeated.
No one will look like a fool because we don't know what the outcome would have been if he put out a full team, results or injury wise.

After todays game I`ve cast my vote and can announce we will win!
I`m pretty sure we have a full strength squad, no obvious injuries today. We are going into the game after a great win, picking up the trophy and medals whilst Chelsea were beaten 2-1. They will be fretting over that result and hoping it won`t be them!
I have the feeling we will keep a clean sheet and, hopefully, have it done and dusted by half time! I can`t cope with a close run game ;)
