Reckon we've got them 3-0 (Sane, Jesus, KDB).

Could well be. I think Pep and the physios will decide what would be the optimum game time, if any, for Fernandhino and KDB and work back from there. As important as this game is, the priority will be to put out our strongest team in the best possible shape on Tuesday.
 
If I were given the option of losing this providing we win the PL, I'd take it just to shove it down the scousers' throats.
Having said that, it's an artificial choice and I expect us to win both.
 
If Aguero isn't fully fit then no point taking any risks, We need him ready for Tuesday night against Tottenham.

I've a funny feeling he's going to play Ferny in the left back role today.

Ederson

Danilo
Laporte
Kompany
Fernandinho

Gundogan
David Silva
De Bruyne

Sterling
Bernardo
G.Jesus
 
Wouldnt be risking Kun or KDB for this with the Champs league on the horizon , but they would be handy substitutes if thing are going tits up ,my team would be , EDERSON ** WALKER , VINNY , LAPORTE , DANILO ** BERNARDO , GUNDY , DINHO , MERLIN , SANE ** STERLING.

Would take a domestic treble and the Dippers winning the Champs league , we would have the trophy they covet and one they will never be able to win because they are not capable of replicating this seasons form or good fortune , and we would just have to wait another year for the Champs league

Wouldn’t risk Kun or De Bruyne either. Also would rest Fernandinho given he just returned from injury. Bernardo in midfield, Sane to start as well.

Not for me. Nothing for the dippers again. They can choke on their pathetic 'European Royalty' flag. Someone told me it dates back to when Queen Victoria was on the throne.
 
Mmm my tip is No2 of 4 lets do it lets play lets go for it Bindippers think they have won the league already look at last night Klip Klop
 
My guess
Gundogan, Danilo, Jesus will sure play
Hoping for Foden to
I m so greatful for the depth of our squad. I don’t know how the scousers will cope in our place. But thankfully they are not in our situation and they should never be. Those fu**ing ****s. I so hate them
 
Hopefully put our chances away today and not let the officials screw us over with Var as we all know what Taylor is like and Tierney on Var is just as useless.
 
Start strong and get it won without extra time. Spurs don't have a game this weekend. Avoiding extra time will give us best chance for getting through the CL. They get an extra days rest for the second home leg also, when we play Sunday and they play Saturday.
 
Mahrez has to start imo because I cant see him starting Palace away or Spurs away in CL. And him starting today would give a chance to rotate Sterling or Bernardo one more time after Cardiff meaning they can come back extra fresh for Spurs away, Palace away, Spurs home 3 crucial games.

Would go with Sterling-Jesus-Mahrez trio today with Sterling off after 60 minutes for Sane.

Midfield could be Gundogan-KDB-Silva or Foden instead of Silva. Would keep Fernandinho out of this one maybe coming in from bench later.

Defence: LB I have no idea, Mendy maybe? Time for him to deliver after nearly 2 years.
Otamendi-Stones to let Laporte relax a bit and RB should be Danilo again imo


Scoring early could upset Brightons gameplan, we have to start with high tempo but last couple of years Fa Cup was a competition for us to forget, some of the teams we lost against were horrible, lower league clubs, maybe this year we bring the correct mentality into these games.Both under Pep and Pellegrini we suffered some awful losses in Fa Cup. Wigan, Boro etc...

Not very good that Spurs have a free weekend making sure they are getting ready for the CL tie on Tuesday.

We really need to bring this game down without any injury but that rarely happens these days. I hope Delph or Mendy will be able to play and help us on the left.
