No way does Bernard O’Silva not play after everything he has given this season

Well there is no way Pep's dropping Bernardo and nor should he.

If he plays Sterling and Sane wide, then he'll play Bernardo ahead of Merlin or De Bruyne, like he did against Liverpool, granted Kev wasn't fully fit.

Chelsea win.

Would be a big statement if Pep gave Foden a start in this one. He’s started all the previous games in this comp except Burton at home and he did come off bench in that one so if Muric deserves to start based on prior starts so does Foden.

If fit, I’ve no doubts that Vinny will start. He’s the first name on the team sheet for a cup final.

I’d be ruthless with Muric, simply because Ederson adds so much to our game, but Foden and Zinchenko have both showed that they can cut it against Chelsea this season. Sterling, Silva and Gundogan off the bench if needed.

Hopefully we use our wingers from the start,rather than picking a team packed with similar minded midfielders who tend to overplay many attacks.

We look so much better when we play with width and pace.
