Pep gives update on De Bruyne and Walker

Pep Guardiola says that Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker are unlikely to be available for Wednesday night’s Champions League clash with Sparta Prague.

Mixed messages then because whilst it reports that Pep said he picked up a knee injury the direct quote is that "he's not been well". Maybe just an odd choice of words then.

Agreed.

I think it will be a narrow win for us but a tough game all the same, They gave us a good game last season at their place and expecting something similar, Either way we'll find a way to get all three points.

They beat Arse 2-0 the other week. This is going to be a slog.

Got to remember Arsenal had ten men for 60 minutes. They did well at Villa Park last week so it won’t be easy. Six points in the next two games would be brilliant.

Yep. We can't take them for granted. They fully deserved that win against Arsenal, it was no fluke.

Ideally we'll have more defense than just Lewis & Stones, ALL the rest to a degree seem to have issues.

We may end up with Simpson/Braithwaite/Wilson getting game time.
