Why are so few of you choosing NOT to rest Ginger Kev? I would also rest Leroy if Raheem is fit. No need to risk injuries to our key players. Does anybody know if any players are at risk of getting banned (ie. multiple yellows) in the next few weeks in either the UCL or EPL?

Agree. Out of anyone, I would've thought Kev could benefit from the night off.

I wouldn't swap Ederson. If he's going with a weaker outfield team, why sub out our best goalkeeper (who isn't affected by fatigue etc).

Gives Bravo game time and helps keep him sharp in case he's needed, no FA cup games to do that now...

One game isn’t going to keep him sharp as he is unlikely to start another game until the league is wrapped up.

Can’t see Bravo starting.

More important to have Ederson sharp after that training session with Chelsea.

Gundog and Yaya in midfield? It really would test Yaya to be a holding midfielder.

Perfect time to keep squad in shape and test the depth in specific positions. Bench key players for insurance. Rest Walker for a little head wobble, the general and kdb,

Jaws
Danilo stones Laporte zin
Delph
Sterling Foden bernado sane
Jesus

Bench: Bravo toure kompany gun silva serge Diaz

Keeper with confidence
Reserve back four
Can delph replace fern?
Can bernado replace ds kdb ?
Can Phil fit the bill?
Diaz and toure on if comfortable
Silva and serge if 3-0 down !

If we score 1, they have to score 6. If we score 2, they have to score 7. Let Foden and Diaz start this one, it`s not even a risk

Wrong, if we score 1 and they score 5, they go through on away goals. If we score 2, 6 would see them through.
Doesn't mean Foden and Diaz shouldn't start though :)

My bad, it`s been a long day, but still if we score a couple goals we are guaranteed to go through

I personally think Pep will start with a v strong team and sub as the game progresses
