I don't think Jesus or Sterling could ever truly be ruled out, due to Jesus being our only actual striker and Sterling being one of Pep's favourites until very recently. Although like you I'm unsure.



Yeah the two recent losses have hopefully knocked off some of their invulnerability under Tuchel.

I'm not ruling them out per se, but separating them from Laporte and Cancelo who I feel are almost bang on to start.

I don't think Pep will rotate very much. He's not just going to write off a Semi-Final. Villa is the game I think we'll see rotation, especially with the final the following weekend. I think Steffen, Laporte, Cancelo are sure to come into the squad. Probably Fern as well. Other then that who knows.
 
I think Steffan is an awesome keeper.

Just hope Sterling doesn't start. Its a pity how he is atm but the game is too important to be sympathetic.

Whatever chance Sterling had of starting this one, he fluffed it big time in the two minutes he came on for earlier tonight ...

As for Steffen, I think he will start this and the Carabao Cup Final as well and if we win here then the FA Cup Final as well. Pep's not dropping him for Ederson. He kept Bravo for cups when Bravo was second choice and only brought Ederson in once for the final when we had that kid as our second keeper, Muric I think.

A lot of shouts for Steffan to play.

Why would we not play our outstanding No 1 goalkeeper at the business end of the season?

There are trophies to be won, this isn’t SoccerAid.

It's less people want Steffen to play (although some may), it's more that Pep has been very consistent in terms of giving the 2nd keeper all of the cup games, rightly or wrongly.

I expect that barring injury or some colossal screw up to be seeing Steffen against Chelsea, Tottenham, and should we get there the FA Cup final too.
