Would like to see grealish and Foden starting

Probably. They won't wear the home shirt, even though there's no clash. And the away kit is a non runner, with the white clashing with the white stripes in Brentford's shirt.

It feels as though we wear it to try and flog a few more.

Think Ake will play left back-rotation, and to counter their aerial threat.

Has it actually been officially confirmed if Rodri has Covid? Haven't seen anything on the club's OS about it.

Good luck with that. I seen it up close when I was over for the Saints game. Christ, it's dreadful.

Not confirmed, Pep was asked but he couldn’t confirm which I think has people adding 2 & 2.

No it hasnt , people are guessing , pep wont say because he respects their medical privacy

Dias and Ake don’t have the positional awareness that midfielders needs, it’s actually riskier going with your suggestion.

Zinchenko has played there before and understands the role.

Gundo and Bernardo have the positional intelligence to cover. Not the physicality of Rodri but I'd prefer them to Zinchenko.

Nope not heard anything on him.

Any word on when Kyle might be back? I know Pep said that he and Stones weren't "fully fit" and that Kyle is mourning the passing of his friend. The Chelsea game, maybe?
