Ok just woken up and seen the team. Who’s on the left up against Saka?

Would guess Akanji.

I take it the match is on Sky? Sorry if I'm not allowed to ask that question. :-)

BT Sport 1 love.

It will be interesting to see how we line up tonight. If Bernie doesn't play on the left, as he did at the Emirates, then one of our right footed CB will have to do that job. Nerves are setting in.

Positives of that it will help stop Saka cutting in

I think it’ll be

Ederson

Akanji
Stones (inverted)
Dias
Walker (LB)

Rodri
KDB
Gundo (box with stones in possession)

Silva
Viking
Grealish

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

In possession

Ederson
Stones Dias Akanji
Walker Bernardo Rodri Gundo Grealish
KDB
Haaland

Out of possession

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Akanji
Bernardo Rodri Gundo Grealish
KDB
Haaland

I'm not sure about that, I think Pep just prefers our other centre backs over him.

Maybe. Personally, I'd go with him rather than Akanji. Which is in no way meant as a slight on Manuel. It's just a personal preference, that's all. But I guess that Pep knows a tad more about this management stuff than I do.

Why did you wake up so late?

It’s 2:30am for me.

Loads of people with half & half scarves wandering around looking for their seat. Bloody annoying for an old fart like me

And all the tourists turning their camera phones on at the top of the stairs getting everybody’s way. They need a gentle shove in the back !
