Decent enough side... We finally going to see alvarez off the flank with Bernardo alongside rodri or is he going to go with a more balls deep, rodri anchoring alone with kdb and alvarez behind haaland and foden and bernardo flanking? Vinny will be confused.
Lewis in the stones role works fine from right back but surely he's not going to slot into centre back out of possession? He's vulnerable on the left imo if he's going from left back which seems most likely unless he's put walker central. Either way seems a bit of an odd one and a little bit square pegs round holes scenario with the options we have.
If we're going to pick up injuries, I'm glad it's at the back where we are actually strong, attacking part of the bench isn't looking too clever, not seeing a goal off the bench there. Hopefully we start strong and set a marker. the longer this game goes on with a tight scoreline the more its got upset written on it. 3-1. Alvarez, foden, ake.
