Gundogan doesn't deserve to start either, that midfield is flimsy today.

 

[Craig]

Strong team but I was hoping Sterling would be given a longer rest.

Or on the right if he had to start

Don't forget we've got 3 games between now and next Sunday with tricky fixture away to sheff utd, this is Pep optimising the squad.

Bus has hit tram on Merrill Street- traffic chaos!

How dare you talk sense in here.

Would prefer mahrez to start he has been in good form lately. Not sure about d.silva. I absolutely love him but his legs are just not there anymore and makes us sluggish in the midfield.

I know, I'll get me coat.

Would have had walker to handle zaha but good team.

Easy road to our goal: Aguero/Silva/Gundo/Stones

Interesting game for Cancelo and Mendy. The latter has been ‘targeted’ by quick players recently but Zaha is powerful, too, so he may fancy a run at Cancelo. Walker has generally been favoured in this fixture, as his strength and speed help our recovery, so it should make for a fascinating test today. Sometimes it’s these little match ups that show how far a player has come and how far he still has to go.
