Luton Town (H) | Sat 13th April, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 15:00 (BST).

If we win we'll go top for the night as Arsenal and Liverpool play on Sunday. A chance to put some pressure on.

A 3pm Saturday game, brilliant. Let's ensure the atmosphere is decent pick some tired legs up.

I expect plenty of changes, keep the legs fresh for Madrid next week. Don't really have much choice in defence but Rico will probably come back in.

------------------Ortega
Lewis---Akanji---Dias---Gvardiol
-------------------Rodri
---------De Bruyne--Alvarez
Doku---------Haaland-------Grealish

Bobb could start instead of Grealish.
Get it won, get the lads subbed early.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Wonder if we might rest Rodri for this one. He’s looking jaded.

Ederson may well return for some match practise too.

 

[Blue Maverick]

KDB in for Foden if he has a knock, hopefully Rodri will be rested but I doubt it.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Rodders and Phil given a breather methinks.

Squad should be good enough to get the points.

 

[BigJoe#1]

I am hoping the side rest a few but still go out and hammer into the Goal Difference figures.

 

[Thaksins Love Child]

Kinell let me get over madrid first

 

[MCFC1993]

Wonder if we might rest Rodri for this one. He’s looking jaded.

Ederson may well return for some match practise too.

Can't win without him, can't bring myself to not name him in the XI.

 

[Gabriel]

Right, now that the hors-d’oeuvres are off the table, it’s time for the main course. Nothing shy of 10 goals will assuage some of the pain of that fool prancing across the pitch in his suit.

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Ederson
Lewis
Dias
Akanji
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Nunes
KDB
Doku
Alvarez
Bobb

Think you could be spot on with that

 

[Silva2021]

Ederson

Rico Akanji Dias Gvardiol

Kovatic Bernardo Nunes

Doku Haaland Bobb

Look fwd to the meltdown

 

[bert38]

Don’t think there will be many changes-Ederson, Lewis, KDB and Doku-poss Alvarez.

 

[bearcityblu]

Foden should be rested and to get over knock. Doku in for Grealish to give him a rest after 3 games on the trot and get KDB back if felling better. Get the job done and take the 3 points. Then hopefully Walker back for Madrid.

------------------Ederson

Doku---------Haaland-------Grealish

 

[Gabriel]

Rodri starts. The rest of them determine how long he stays on for.

 

[hobbsisablue]

Definitely play Haaland given he was rested tonight……

 

[super_city_si]

Wonder if we might rest Rodri for this one. He’s looking jaded.

Ederson may well return for some match practise too.

Play him 60-70 and sub. Think we’ve don’t it last few games. He’s just too important and every game is must win

 

[super_city_si]

Ederson
Rico akanji Dias gvardiol
Rodri (65 mins)
Doku Bernardo kev grealish
Haaland (60 mins then Alvarez)

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

I’d give Rodri a total rest here

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Play him 60-70 and sub. Think we’ve don’t it last few games. He’s just too important and every game is must win

We did that against Palace and Villa and he still looks knackered.

Half of that is the system creaking though.
