FC Copenhagen (H) | Wed 5th Oct, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 20:00 (BST). Live on BT Sport for those in the UK.

Pretty much a case of win this and we're pretty much through to the knockouts. Important to win these early group games and that maybe gives us a chance of resting players in the last group game or 2.

We could see some rotation but I imagine Pep will want to win this early and then get players off. He could rest Haaland but might let him get his hat-trick then sub him off at half time.

My Team Prediction:
--------------Ederson
Cancelo--Dias---Laporte--Gomez
--------------Gundogan
---------Foden----Bernardo
Mahrez-------Haaland-----Alvarez

I say we rest Haaland for this one and unleash the Spider!!!

I agree, give Alvarez a full game so we can see how he rolls. Mind you, Haaland has Chumps League records to smash...........

I will be surprised if Haaland is rested much this side of the World Cup. He will get plenty of rest then!

Alfie’s lad hasn’t come here to sit on the bench for champions league games. I think him and Julian might both play on Wednesday

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Ederson; Cancelo Dias Laporte Gomez; Gundo Bernardo; Grealish Foden Alvarez; Haaland

Couple of issues with that lineup.
Ake, unfortunately, needs to be "managed" so will likely sit out.
Palmer - that's just not his spot I'm afraid.
Akanji I think starts again. I'd put Palmer in Grealishs spot, but I don't know who fits in next to Gundo

Got to rotate a bit here imo. Doubt we’ll see this many changes, but this is the team I’d play;

Ederson
Cancelo
Dias
Laporte
Gomez
Gundogan
Bernardo
Foden
Grealish
Mahrez
Alvarez
