Apologies if it’s been covered, but I’m guessing Ferran is injured?

Fractured foot , out two to three months

Nope gone to visit his nana

Also I assume Stones is starting over Ruben as to not annoy Eric... Pep trying to keep everyone happy

Got the front 6 right, nobody is predicting that back 4 though, no issues with it. Only fair Dias is subjected to rotation once in a while for him as much as anybody and ake's aerial ability will be an asset here.

No complaints with that side. Should be able to get the ball forward quickly with stones and laporte on the ball.

Expecting a disjointed performance.

Me too, laboured but I hope I'm wrong.

Hope it's not a case of too many changes leading to a disjointed performance.

This is the start of a decent run of premier league games, need to start it off strongly.

Suppose it's a minor downside of such a deep squad. Pep needs to try and keep everyone relatively happy.

Is there always two keepers on the bench?

Better than two in the starting line up

More likely whoever is not tired or red zoned after pointless internationals
