Thinking about it, this is potentially a great test for how we deal with the latter stages of the champs league. If they get the first goal they’re right back in it and the pressure mounts. We don’t need to go into this game to win, it only requires us to keep it tight, keep possession, bide our time and wear them down. it’s going to require a different mentality to our usual “we’ll just impose ourselves on you because we’re better” approach. if we’re going to go far in the champions league we’ll need performances like that against far better opponents, so united will prove a useful exercise in game management

Well maybe Pep will pick Fern but Stones is better at every aspect of defending. The only thing missing from his game is continuity due to injury. Stones and Laporte is City's no. 1 defensive partnership I think when both players are fit which they are not at the moment.

Totally disagree, Stones is a liability!! Laporte/Dinho all day long!!
 
If they die, they die.

The starting eleven picks itself, the only doubt being if Pep can trust Raheem to put in a full shift or bring him on when the Rags have tired legs.

Sterling puts a shift in. He's not on form at the moment though

I prefer Stones long term. He's another player struggling with his form but I think that's because he's in and out of the side.

I want to see Laporte and Stones back in the side before too long. It might take some time to restore them together. Not sure if Laporte will be ready for a derby.
