Barring any injuries tomorrow, I reckon we'll line-up something like this:

Caballero
Zabaleta
Stones
Adarabioyo
Clichy
Fernando
Gundogan
Silva
Navas
Sane
Iheanacho

I'd like to see more kids given a game, but each group stage win is worth £1.5m so I think we'll send out a reasonably strong side. Do group stage wins also help with your co-efficient?

I'd be pretty pissed if only Tosin played to be honest. Angelino+Maffeo need to be properly evaluated before the end of the season so we know if we need 2 or 4 new fullbacks.

Coefficient is not important for us now because we're well inside the top16 and so a definite 2nd pot, £1.5m really isn't anything either these days, especially when weighed up ag.

Pep's got a history of playing a second string in these games so I hope he does against rest for key players in a month with 7 games.
 
Tough call for Pep. Do we go all out and try and get a morale-boosting win? Or should we rest players and look to keep pace with the top two on Saturday?

Personally I'd be tempted towards the latter. This is definitely a game for Sané and Fernando. I've also gone with Caballero, not because I dislike Bravo but because I think being dropped might be the kick up the arse he needs.

Caballero
Zabaleta Stones Kolarov Clichy
Fernando
Sané Gundogan Nolito
Aguero Iheanacho

Sterling, Navas on the bench. Without Fernandinho, Touré or Garcia we're lacking in central midfielders.
 
Rest everyone of our top guys. Give the youngsters a chance to prove themselves on the big stage.
 
Willy
Maffeo Tosin Otamendi Angelino
Garcia Fernando
Sane Sterling Nolito
Iheanacho


Fernandinho is suspended and cannot play, rest Aguero, KDB, Stones.
 
I wouldn't play nacho as he is our sole striker for 4 games now,pack it with the other kids and willy in goal,i'm sick of bravo

I would go with two strikers up front. Iheanacho needs game time, he has been visibly off on his last few games (club and country), while Aguero needs some game time. He's out for the month...

It would also be a great time to try a two striker option.
