Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Zinchenko
Rodri
Bernardo
Gundogan
Kdb
Mahrez
Foden

I'd have a standard back 4 for this, and Bernardo alongside Rodri, we need his energy in midfield to stop their counters and get us moving. let gundogan/kdb alternate between the false 9 roles with mahrez and foden on the flanks.

Keep it compact at the start, play keep ball first half and tire them out as they get more desperate and more tired we can pick them off, if we get a goal it's over, they'll have to score 3.

Big game for Pep tactically, game management is key to this. do not throw this away.

Why would they need three? A 2-1 win for them takes them to extra time and possibly penalties.

Playing nine of those who started against us, no resting players for them. Perhaps want to keep them match fit?

They don’t have a choice ... if they were 11 or 14 pts clear at the top, they’d be resting all XI for Wednesday.

Edit: And they don’t have a cup semi final 2.5 days after Wednesday or a hope for an unprecedented Quad!
