Grealish starts, no surprise there.

With no Doku, he was always likely to get the nod from Pep. Indeed; even if Doku was available, he might still have opted for the potential more control in midfield that Jack might offer.

Watched them v Spurs today on a stream. They were awesome going forward giving Spurs loads of problems And they were lucky to win it. Played with a very high tempo. Problem was they couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo.

Same v Rags, somehow lost 3-0 despite dominating and having around 24 shots.
No doubt will be lethal with 1 shot 1 goal like so many v us tonight

And the goals and assists and clear opportunities he's provided recently also.

Hopefully just bollocks, and no I don’t know who she is.

Probably heard it from the “source” on here

These injuries are killing us. They train for days and still do not feature at all it seems. They can’t be far off.

no injuries was a big part of our success the last few years. hitting spring with the full squad with rivals struggling after playing their big players all season. we need to get everyone fit and rotate, even in big games.

would love to see Akanji - Stones - Ake - Gvardiol tonight.

Surely stones would play….but that’s a grim MF

It’s LiveScore predicted, usually wrong

 

[TrentGrisham]

I'm curious if Dias is on the bench or is injured. I think Akanji deserves to play based on form, but if Dias is fit, I'm surprised he's going with Stones, who has far fewer minutes in his legs and IMO has struggled since returning from injury.
