Brighton & Hove Albion (A) - Wed 24th May, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Ric]

Reckon it’ll be a similar team to Sunday, and then full strength at Brentford. Something like this.

Ortega
Lewis
Dias
Laporte
Ake
Phillips
Gundogan/Bernardo
Foden
Palmer
Mahrez
Alvarez

I think the other way around. Cup final team against Brighton then rotate against Brentford

Doh, sorry!

City's odds drifted like a barge.

Likely to be a mixed team.

 

[Rammy Blue]

I think it’ll be much closer to the first 11 than it was on Sunday.

agreed! give the big boys a run out today and then a rest against Brentford

Agreed, I think Pep will want us to keep up the momentum, it's one game a week after this week, which is a bit of a luxury after the last few weeks. Some rotation, where needed, but expecting a strong line up.

Not convinced this will be as difficult as everyone thinks. We will rest a few and play at a low tempo but Brighton try to play a bit of football, which will suit our style.

City 3 - 1 Seagulls

Brentford's a full week before the Cup Final. I doubt Pep will reason along those lines. He won't want them to go ten days without proper match practice. For years now, this team/squad's been playing games at a rhythm of one every three days. And handling it admirably. A week's a holiday for them.
There's always the risk of injury. But then, there is in every game. You can do your hammy without anyone so much as touching you.
