Based on the fact he is a fine player? Based on him needing game time? Based on making sure another player gets a rest?

Definately not based on his form for City.

Since when has the 1st game in a champions league group been a must win?

Since we lost to Lyon at home a couple of seasons ago and comfortably qualified.

Only Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Juventus, Napoli, Barcelona, Paris Saint Germain, etc.

Drawing PSG in our group means we don't have the luxury of a 2 game buffer we've had the last few seasons, we're probably not going to qualify until the end of the penultimate game at the earliest so this really is a must win game. Stones zinchenko mahrez and kdb all come in for me.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Zinchenko
Rodri
Gundogan
Bernardo
Mahrez
Jesus
Kdb

Grealish is guaranteed to start, imo. He has come to play CL football. Pep won't bench him.

I'd say that exactly a reason to bench him. Our next game is away at psg. If he misses this one, he will be even more fired up for the next one.

Anyone know if there’ll be any away fans at this game?
