We need to be at our best and not underrate them. If we win by many goals, we can afford to rest players in the other leg.

Also this is an opportunity for us to try both Foden and KDB playing together even though I feel like Alvarez will start.

Ederson
Walker Dias Ake
Stones Rodri
Bernardo De Bruyne Foden Doku

Bloomin' tough place to go and we must be absolutely at our best to give us a chance of a ruthless scoreline. I personally see it as being a tight scoreline.

Pep will go for control. That was his approach in all away games en route to winning it so I suspect the same will be done here and likely throughout this season. Expect Bernardo and grealish to come in. Going to assume kovacic is unavailable for whatever reason he was today.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo
Kdb
Foden
Grealish
Haaland.

Another cleansheet would be perfect.

Would be lovely to get a 2 or 3 goal to bring home so that we can think about rotating a little bit in between the derby and Liverpool away.

Pep will go for control.

What do you mean by control? Lots of possession? or a little bit more defensive than usual?

Reckon the 4 that came on today start in this!

What do you mean by control? Lots of possession? or a little bit more defensive than usual?

Basically prioritising keep ball. Safe options that won't risk losing the ball, hence why I suspect grealish and bernardo will come in. Pep would take a draw away and trust us to win it at home.

Personally, I think we could all but put it to bed in the first leg if we played our normal game but Peps slightly tweaked approach to away games won us the champions league last year so I won't be questioning that.

Dave Ewing?

From Dallas or is it Dynasty?
