Kick off time 17:30 (BST).

Here it is, it's back, new season, new start.

Team selection is probably pretty tough right now. Sounds like Rodri won't be starting, Kovacic is still out and Foden is potentially a doubt.

I'll take the same result as last season, just without the drama!

Come on the blues!

My Guess:
-----------------Ederson
Nunes--Stones--Gvardiol--Ait-Nouri
------------------Gonzalez
--------Bernardo------Reijnders
Cherki----------Haaland-------Marmoush

I would like to squeeze Bobb in there though.
Maybe Lewis or Khusanov instead of Nunes?
 
Ederson
Nunes Stones Khusanov Ake
Nico
Reijnders Bernardo
Cherki
Haaland Marmoush
 
Going to assume those not in Italy aren't available for this even though theres probably a good chance Gvardiol and Foden are but it makes it slightly easier to pick a side this way. What i think we will see rather than what I want to see.

Ederson
Nunes
Stones
Dias
Ait-nouri
Bernardo
Gundogan
Reijnders
Cherki
Doku
Haaland.

Stones has to be used whilst he is fit, Many wont like it but bernardo and gundo holding down the midfield is the best options we have available at present and I think we need both, especially with attacking fullbacks. Putting Reijnders deeper is going to reduce his impact making those runs from deep and leave us too open going the other way so he slots in making it three 8's in midfield but effectively playing as two 6's and him as a 10. I'd have Bobb on the wing over Cherki but dont think Pep makes that call and it'll be Foden there over Cherki if he is fit.

Solid team. Reijnders definitely needs to be able to get forwards. He’s too good
 
No idea. Some big decisions for pep. At a guess…

Ederson
Nunes Dias Gvardiol ait-nouri
Bernardo gundogan reijnders
Savinho haaland marmoush

Would like to see
Ederson
Khusanov stones Gvardiol ait-Nouri
Bernaedo reinjders
Foden cherki marmoush
Haaland

Stones steps in the cm and khusanov covers

I would like to see Bobb as the fox in the box or support for Haaland. I think he’s a better bet than Marmoush in the longer run. So I would alter your desired side with Bobb replacing Marmoush , otherwise I like your team, but Pep won’t. (What, no Gundog?) I would have Marmoush as Haaland cover.

If we were to play an oldie I'd have Gundogan before Bernardo.

Bernardo tries too much because of his amazing stamina but is likely to be out of position if we lose possession, where as Gundogan I think can be more disciplined and also do a better job of passing into the attack.
 
As much as I’d love Cherki to start, with it being first game away I get the feeling Pep will be a bit more solid initially in the middle, hence I reckon it’ll be a midfield 3 of Nico G, Bernie and Reijnders. I suppose Cherki could get a start out wide, he certainly looked fit enough. Wealth of choices for the wide spots, could be any of them. Love to see Khusa start, think Pep was pretty impressed with him and will be a big fan of his recovery pace.
