Ideally you'd like to rest everyone but it's not going to happen and there's a few players who need minutes.
The likes of Stones, Kovacic, Nunes and Grealish could use the game time.
Fringe players like Ortega, Lewis, Gomez, Phillips and Bobb will surely start to give others a rest.
Akanji will probably start after sitting out against Luton and I'd expect Gvardiol to as well after being subbed.
I'd go with something like this:
-----------------------Ortega
Lewis-----Stones-----Akanji-----Gvardiol
-----------------------Philips
---------Kovacic---------------Nunes
Bobb--------------Grealish-------------Gomez
There's a chance we could lose with that team but we've already sewn up first place so it doesn't matter.
It would be great if we could leave the rest (Ederson, Walker, Dias, Ake, Rodri, Bernardo, Foden, Alvarez) at home and give them a full week off to prepare for Palace but I suspect most of them will still be in the squad.
The only thing that matters is no injuries.

This feels like one maybe you could let Gvardiol play in his actual position.

Be good to see that actually.This feels like one maybe you could let Gvardiol play in his actual position.
Maybe put Gomez at LB?
Something like:
Ortega
Akanji Ake Stones Gomez
Nunes-Phillips-Lewis
Bobb-?-Grealish
Striker will probably end up being alvarez by default, and think stones needs minutes. Reckon the other CB will be Ake because he's played the least in recent weeks.

With Doku's current injury and injury history in general, I wouldn't be risking Grealish.Something like:
Ortega
Akanji Ake Stones Gomez
Nunes-Phillips-Lewis
Bobb-?-Grealish

Bloody hell... that's what I call radical thinking!
