Let's see some youth in the return leg!

.........GK........
..Otamendi..Kolarov.
Zaba..Garcia..Delph
..Silva......YaYa....
Navas...........Sterling
......Iheanacho........

Only if YaYa is in the plans. If not Delph there and Bring either Stones or Clichy in.

Fernando for Silva on the hour.

Perhaps a couple of European debuts. But let the fringe players learn the system.
 
We have a rather difficult match against Stoke on Saturday. Not like last night & the stroll with Sunderland, this lot are not going to roll over. Lets wait & see what happens from a playing perspective & perish the thought, there might even be injuries.
 
We shouldn't, we need to use it to enhance how we're going to play for the whole season, we need to gel the team into how Pep wants us to play, we should treat it as pre season run out getting to know the new way of playing.

This with some obvious rotation to rest people (Silva, Ferdi, Sterling etc) whilst we have the opportunity, but we still need to develop this style of play... Would like to see Nacho Man and Delph get some game time under their belt
 
First teamers need the practice so we should treat it like a training match

The fringe players also need to practice within Pep's system. We will pick up injuries and players like Delph, Fernando will need to play. This match is the perfect opportunity for them to work within the new system.
 
We need to rotate a few players, we've been here before with playing some of our best players in a match that's done and they've managed to pick up an injury.

Some of the fringe players need to get used to the system as well.

Would like to see Kelechi in for Aguero and either Delph for Silva or De Bruyne
