Basel (H) - Pre match thread.

It’s amazing how some people think pep will play 3 or 4 youngsters from the start tomorrow? It’s not the early stages of the league cup it’s a champions league game!! Some rotation yeah but stones, Laporte, delph, Danilo, sterling, gabby all need game time and pep will not want to get beat in this game

Great thing about Pep is he wants to win every game. So expect a strong team with Ota, Kun and Merlin getting a rest.

Jesus needs to start and we need him back fit and firing to assist Kun.

Yeah agree, I think there a chance he will start one of Diaz or Foden but doubt it will be both. I expect Delph will play instead of Zinchenko also. If all goes to plan we will be 2 up at half time and then he can bring on a few youngsters in second half.

Would like to see foden start

Gabriel Jesus
Sane - - - - - - - - - - - - - - B. Silva
Foden - De Bruyne
Gundogan
Zinchenko- Laporte - Stones - Danilo
Bravo
Subs: Bravo, Diaz, Nmecha, Otamendi, Toure, Walker, Aguero
​

I'd put in Toure. But with an unknown form Stones at CB, I'd rather not risk it.
