Think the plan is to get Phillips involved on Wednesday, I think Pep said as much.

 

[SamTheGuru]

A draw I reckon. It's inevitable. We just need more fixtures....

Youngsters down the left, oldsters down the right.

Here I am stuck in the middle with you !

Yeah he said in his pre-match press conference that Phillips will definitely play in the Caraboa Cup.

Pep said Phillips would start on Weds.

No Grealish on the bench.

a shame, I'd hoped he'd be starting, would have been fun with Conor Gallagher on the pitch.

Are you proud that you're a self made man?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Hope you’re correct, Foden needs a change from the wing, where he has been pretty poor recently

That's because he isn't a winger
