There'll be a lot of rotation but I'd be surprised if he rested absolutely everybody.

1) We still haven't won the league yet (even if it's almost guaranteed at this stage).

2) He's a big believer in momentum. It's why he went with such a good side against Villa, so we'd have momentum going into the cup final. He'll pick a team that he believes in, so no Doyle or Delap just yet. Garcia I think we won't see again based on a recent interview.

In a interview tonight Pep made it quite clear that the league is the priority. He made 7 changes now in a couple of games and we were terrible! I don`t think he`ll make that same mistake.
We have got potentially 3 major games, PSG, Chelsea or RM and Palace! Yes Palace could be one of the three big games if the dippers do us a favour at weekend!
That said, I still think there will be 3/4 changes!

It’s actually nice to have a game I don’t give a flying shit about. A chance to relax a bit.

Third string.

Eric Garcia plus 10 others please.

5th string, Elsie the tea lady, she’ll deal with Zaha, Beryl the bar manager up top with George the janitor as the play maker in midfield. Looking for a nice comfortable 2-0 win.

 

[citymad]

Rest everyone.

Absolutely no point risking anyone.

Palace are a poor team and our second string will still win and even if they don’t I don’t think United win on Sunday.

Even if we lost and United won it wouldn’t matter in the end.

Aguero Jesus Sterling etc no problem

That’s not a bad forward line.

 

[citymad]

Vital we have our first and strongest 11 against PSG. We can’t afford to take risks. This is the best opportunity we’ve had for the final. Who knows when we’ll be in this position again ? We don't have to win against Palace but PSG know they have to win at Lens on Saturday to keep on the coat tails of Lille with 4 games remaining.

I hope Pep puts out a reasonably strong side that will get the three points. Minimal rotation for me.
