I'd be pretty happy with that team tbh, although I'm not sure if Pep will make that many changes. Khusanov, Ait-Nouri, Reijnders and Marmoush certainly all need game time, but think he'll want to get qualification wrapped up as soon as possible before rotating too much.
 
I don't know what to expect from Leverkusen. They are 2nd in the Bundesliga but 21st in the Champions League. They need something from our game, whilst we need to win if we are to qualify automatically.

I thought we played well against Newcastle but that we missed chances. I'd be looking to bring Marmoush in and rest Doku as he has played a lot of football.

---------Donnarumma
Nunes--Stones-Gvardiol-Nico
-----------Gonzalez
------Foden-Bernardo
Cherki-Haaland-Marmoush

An alternative to Cherki would be Bobb.

Reckon Bernardo may get a rest and more often than not, Rico gets picked for CL games.

That team should be good enough to win and gain the others much needed rest for the following week.

Bobb and Savinho won't be in many people's starting 11 after yesterday's dire performances. However, I think Pep may start Savinho, who had a decent game against Dortmund.

I posted it with tongue firmly in cheek, not because players are ‘dire’ but rather because so many of them are simply undercooked.

We’re soon to lose Marmoush and Ait-Nouri, Rodri and Kovacic cannot be called upon through injury, and Bobb, Lewis, Ake, Stones, Khusanov, Trafford, and, to a lesser extent, Savinho are all well below the minutes needed to find form. That’s a full team.

Guardiola is likely still scarred from last year’s performances, particularly Feyenoord, and will be afraid of rotating heavily, but sooner or later he’s going to have to take the risk. We’ve got 9 games in the next 33 days, and unless we get game time into some of these legs now, others will run out of steam in the early spring.
 
Plenty of changes because of the fixture schedule.
Lewis , Khusanov, ait nouri, Reindjers, Marmoush, Savinho will all start imo.

I think Pep trusts his squad
