Burnley (A) - Fri 11th Aug | Pre-Match Thread

According to Pep he says Gvaridol is ready.

Hopefully he is.

He'll be on the bench today I think.

I imagine it’s going to be Walker, Akanji, Ake, Lewis then. Not ideal, but it’s the one position that we’ve got real strength in depth.

What is this line-up? How would they know?

A couple twitter pages get city team news early.

Dias out also

Fuck. Hadn't heard that. Ake and Akanji then, I guess.

Maybe Laporte will get a run out.

Pretty certain one of stones, dias or josko will start

If Lewis starts, I wonder if the rumour of Dias, Stones and Bernardo all having knocks was true. Could see something like:

Ederson
Walker Akanji Gvardiol Ake
Lewis Rodri Kovacic
Foden Haaland Grealish

Lewis instead of KDB? I hope not...

Stones, Dias and Gvardiol are unavailable.
