Everton (A) - Sun 14th May, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[domalino]

Have not looked forward to this fixture for a few weeks.

A point would not be the disaster if it comes to it.

We need 8 points from 4 games. 2 wins and 2 draws would do it (unless Arsenal score at least 17 in their last 3)

As long as we don't lose this one we'll be OK.

Everton feel great after that result and all 5 goals on transition thing is city are one of the best teams ever to stop transitions!

Stones and Haaland off after the hour.

We have wiggle room to afford a slip up. It's all about Madrid next Wednesday.

Gomez, Phillips, Palmer have a point to prove. Laporte simply needs minutes (before he is off to Spain).

Pep kept all 11 on the pitch last night. 9 of the above have full tanks. If they can't get a result against Everton, its on them, not Pep.

That’s just asking for a defeat. But, you’re possibly right :-)

Going to be a few tired players after tonight. I’m sure Foden, Mahrez, Laporte and Alvarez will start, and most likely Lewis and Ake if fit. Will be interesting to see who else starts. I’m guessing Rodri, Dias, Akanji and Haaland.

2 days rest and one light training session, I don’t think that’s that bad

 

[2infinity&beyond]

4 days rest. Strongest possible team. Make subs if we’re winning. Simple as that really.

Understand your thoughts but can we afford to risk injuries and fatigue to key players with RM so close after this one ? We will need to be top of our game to beat them. Not saying I have the answers . Prob one of Peps most difficult selections of the season.

21 unbeaten home advantage in the semi final of a Champions League and a few players rested the players know what to do.

Ederson

Rico Dias Laporte Akanji

KDB Rodri Gundogan

Mahrez Haaland Foden

Hopefully he doesn't make too many changes. Come on City

2 win and 2 draws at the very most enough to win it
