I was pretty disgusted with his attempt to get Fernandinho sent off for a second foul. The slo-mo showed that Fernandinho pulled out of any challenge, stopped, and Wilshire flung himself into the air. Despicable little minion.
 
The aim is now to wrap up the Premiership as soon as possible, to clear the decks for CL. So first up Arsenal, which is certainly not a gimme. Had they scored with their early chance it could have very different. Yes we are the better team but this is no guarantee of victory or even a draw, as shown at Wigan, and the stats show that teams winning the League Cup often struggle in the League afterwards.

I trust Pep to choose the best team for the job in all the circumstances, but is there anything else that can be done?

In another thread it was stated that Pep does not give a pre-match team talk and if that’s true, I wonder why not. Certainly his half time talk seemed to make a difference on Sunday. Does anybody know for sure what happens pre-match?
 
Give Arsenal a different beast to deal with.

Carabao Thursday

Bravo Ederson
Walker Danilo
Kompany Stones
Otamendi Laporte
Danilo Zinchenko
Fernandinho Gundogan
Gündogan Foden
De Bruyne Silva
Silva Raheem
Sané Bernardo
Agüero Jesus

Subject to fitness (Jesus might only last a half for example)
 
Any chance this game might not go ahead with the predicted weather on Thursday?
I was thinking would it be good for us to have an extra fews days off before Chelsea but I think arsenal are there for the taking at the moment so for me I hope it goes ahead.

Or we could just go with our best available team. Pretty certain KDB and Sane will start (subject to fines of course). Also thought Sterling was out for a couple more games or has there been news that he is fit?
