Would love that side, Pep has to start at least one of the young centre backs.-------------------------------------------------Ederson

Rest David and Kevin for next weeks Premier league game.
Zinchenko needs to be tried as a DM with Mendy/Angelino being true LBs, this is a game to test that out.
Foden needs to play more important games other than cup games, and this is relatively low risk imo.
Could swap the youth CBs for Otamendi or Dinho but I think it shows great faith to give them minutes in a game like this.
I think the fact he rested Aguero today means he is taking this game very seriously. They had a good win first game and he probably thinks that they will beat Atalanta and Shakhtar so the head to heads could be crucial.
Personally I would bring Garcia in for Otamendi though.
Foden will have to wait.
Ederson
Cancelo
Mendy
Fernandinho
Garcia
Rodri
Silva D or KDB if fit
Silva B
Sterling
Mahrez
Aguero
Think after today we seriously need to consider a wing back 532 formation.
Fern Garcia & Otamendi with Mendy and Cancelo, Rodders, KDB & a Silva or Mahrez with 2 out of Jesus Sterling & Kun up front.
I think we are going to go balls deep for the CL this season, as such i think we are going to see a very strong line up rather than blooding some youngsters.
Yep, reckon we’ll line up something like this:Cancelo, Mendy, Silva, Bernardo and Aguero all come in for this one I reckon.
