My gut feeling is that Sterling may be benched for this one.

Lad’s got nowt to worry about. “Raheem Sterling, he’s seventh in the league” doesn’t scan.

 

[GX Blue]

Ortega

Akanji Dias Laporte Gomez

Rodri

Mahrez Bernardo Foden Grealish

Haaland

 

[Big Jonjo]

Ortega, Lewis, Dias, Laporte, Gomez, Gundogan/Phillips, Grealish, Foden, Mahrez, Haaland, Alvarez/Palmer

I'm going to be doom and gloom here, yes a trophy is a trophy, but in all honesty this is the least glamorous trophy, would rather us have a good go at the F.A. Cup this year

Bit of a scratch side but need to save the big guns for Saturday ( Brentford have a much easier tie vs Gillingham on Tuesday), and given the nightmare congestion of the fixture list post world cup it would not be the end of the world if we went out of this competition.

i expect ortega, gomez, mahrez and laporte will be in for this. Would hope palmer starts too.

That's pretty much my shout but I am not Pep.

Pep loves this competition. We'll field a strong looking side.

He needs to start loving the FA cup more.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Please not Grealish and Mahrez at the same time

Want to see Borges in the squad for this one, he's ripping it up for the eds

EDS play Tuesday in the EFL trophy. They need to win to progress. We’ll know on Tuesday whether Borges will be in the squad for Wednesday.
