[DMA's]

Honestly no idea how we are going to win this but it’s vital we do. No idea re the team as pep will want the main guys fresh for Wednesday. Shame this isn’t a Saturday kick off would have been ideal.

Ederson

walker
dias
laporte
lewis

rodri
bernardo
alvarez

mahrez
foden
haaland

Get this won! Another big game this one. I think we will win 1 nil.

 

[handsofstone]

Is Ake gonna be back for this?

Expect some usual changes but nothing too drastic

- - - - - - - - - - Eddie - - - - - - - - - -
- - Akanji - - Dias - - Laporte - -
- - - - - - - Stones - Rodri - - - - - - -
Mahrez - Alvarez - Foden - Grealish
- - - - - - - - - Haaland - - - - - - - - -

Think Gundogan, Bernie and KDb need the rest the most, Foden, Mahrez and Alvarez are like for like positionally for those three

Walker is needed for Vinicius so let's not risk him, that fucked us last year when he got injured. I'd bring in Laporte/Ake and swap Akanji to RCB

I'd argue that you can rest Grealish/Haaland but I doubt Pep does. Personally Lewis could come in for Stones but we need a result here as Brighton have lost steam so I expect Arsenal to beat them handily, can't take the risk

Ederson
Walker, Dias, Laporte, Lewis
Gundogan, Bernardo
Mahrez, Alvarez, Foden
Haaland

No idea. Just fucking win.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

1-1

Hope I’m wrong

 

[ninjamonkey]

He's going to have to make sweeping changes, players will be knackered after that and no subs were made. Expecting the 6/7 changes again, with everton needing the points and off the back of a huge win i think this will be a lot more of a struggle than it should be. I'll take 1-0 and no injuries right now.

Foden, mahrez, alvarez, Lewis, Laporte all to play.

 

[Blu1]

The team selection will balance this game out a bit more. Not sure Mahrez away at Everton the right call. Que hatrick

If we are dropping points it’s here

 

[Wellsblue21]

I’d go


Ortega

Lewis
Stones
Laporte
Akanji

Rodri (off at HT for Phillips)
KDB (off at HT for Gundo)
Foden

Mahrez
Haaland
Alvarez

 

[mccity]

I reckon Everton's win at Brighton might have helped us. It's allowed us to see how they put together their counter attacks, which we can now plan for.
