We dont need to win this match. The league is all but done.
Pep will rightly prioritise the champions league.

I respectfully disagree . We took our eyes off a trophy v Leeds . Let's see what he does

Not a huge risk given Stones will be playing next week and unlikely both Dias and Laporte will get injured.

That’s how he will approach it for me. Basically the question is - could that player be replaced if they get injured and are they suffering from tiredness. The latter is hard to tell at this stage.

I think from tonight’s game, Ederson, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Zinchenko will play. Mendy, Jesus, Sterling, Fern are nailed on so it’s then just a case of the other two. Maybe Foden and Aguero.

Ederson
Cancelo
Mendy
Dias
Laporte
Fern
Foden
Zinchenko
Sterling
Jesus
Aguero

I’d fancy that side against palace

Yes although midfield is weakened . Still strong

……………..Ederson
Cancelo…Ake…Laporte…Mendy
…Bernardo…Ferna…Zinchenko
Torres…….Jesus………Sterling

. Doyle on for Bernardo at HT
. Aguero on for Zin (with Sterling dropping into LM and Jesus going out left) at 60 mins.

.. We are a LM shy!!

Is this the third time this season BT have put us on at 12.30 on a Saturday after a CL knock out game? They know full well that the teams hate the quick turn around after a big European game. You'd have thought they would be trying to do their best by the English teams playing in Europe. Also doesn't do much for their own product when one of the teams puts out a heavily rotated team and slows the pace of the game right down

Or just forfeit the game to save the hassle of travelling to South London

True but...
Better for the 2nd leg!
We have an advantage over PSG, who play later (and don't have the same opportunity to rotate).

And on we move. Come on, Blues.
