Atletico (A) - Wed 13th April, 20:00 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

Reckon we will go full strength in this one then pep will bring in zinky, ake, fern, steffan etc for cup game as that’s lowest priority.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Pep may rest kdb as he can’t pick up an injury at this vital time and he has played a lot of full games recently

Ederson

walker
stones
laporte
cancelo

rodri
gundogan
kdb/grealish

mahrez
foden
Bernardo false 9

Don’t think there will be that many changes, given what’s at stake. Think Gundogan, Grealish and Mahrez will all start though.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo
Gundogan
Grealish
Mahrez
De Bruyne

That's the side for me.

Saw a stat saying Atletico have always progressed when they have been 1-0 down in the first leg. There will be a lot of tired legs, but this is a tough game, so I prefer we start our strongest players, get the tie done by half time and then rest for the FA semi-final.

There is little chance that the tie will be done by half time.

Think I could see Cancelo rested for Ake and despite what I said about Bernardo playing every big game left, could maybe see him rested for the FA Cup.

Can only hope. If they score first, I fear extra-time and penalties. Atletico progressing is pointless anyway as it's their CL nemesis waiting in the semis.

Very possible Ake plays left back and Bernie sits for Gundogan-Mahrez and Grealish will start.

Don't mind which lineup Pep goes with - they will only cause problems on quick counter attacks, Kyle being back is a big plus for me.
