The only way we come unstuck is if this happens.

Don't do this! That picture's as bad as seeing my missus dating Donald Trump.

If there is even a slight concern with De Bruyne, Dias and Grealish by Wedneaday/ Thursday I think Pep leaves them in Manchester.

I might be reading too much into it, but seeing Grealish and Dias both posting on social media today makes me think they must be in good spirits?

Just thinking, surely if you'd just realised you're not fit for the FA cup final, you'd be giving social media a swerve.

Is there any REAL concern though?

I believe they both type with their toes so most likely both are fully fit.

I haven't read anything official about KDB, Grealish or Dias being injured. Is this just speculation because they didn't play in meaningless games or do people actually know something? KDB has obviously been knackered at the ends of matches recently so it would have been stupid not to rest him. Grealish has been getting mugged on the pitch every match so risking him would have been dumb too. Dias and Rodri also needed a rest, Pep knows what he's doing.

For the record, I've seen Pep's comments about them prior to Brentford. He said if they needed the points they'd have played and he also said he expects them to be ready for the scum. I figure this is just Pep deploying a little gamesmanship.

Is the right answer.

The thing keeping me settled is knowing that we’ve had several big games this year and we haven’t failed to turn it on in one of them. If you’re fussy maybe Anfield but that’s nothing new.

KDB, Jack, Ruben and Akanji is all a ruse. Utd will be dealt a huge psychological blow when it becomes clear they’ll all play.
Fantastic mind games by Pep, they seriously think they can stop us with our depleted squad. That’ll go out of the window at the latest possible time and will screw their heads and preparations.
Masterstroke Pep.

Frickin hope so.

What mind games? Everyone knows everyone is fit. Pep is the only manager that like to say 'X player has niggles' when it's obvious that player will play. United know City will come with best XI possible with exception of Ortega in goal.
