Assumed Thiago would be available, would be a bonus if he was ruled out.Thiago , Fabinho , VVD all out for them , no better time to play them

Full strength but Kun is out, how do you work that one out?Full strength at the moment we have no excuses. Have to win this and set the tone for the rest of our league campaign. I know Kun is out and his record vs Top teams is incredible but I still think Jesus would of started anyway for that pressing/intensity
Fucking hell, where is the dislike button when it’s needed?Want to be positive and think we can grab the win here, but just feel like we don't have the legs required in the midfield, sans Bernardo (and that's if Pep starts him).
The best performance I've seen from us under Pep, especially when under pressure, is when we beat them at home two seasons ago. They were at their fighting best that night, and we stuck it right to them. That win wasn't possible without Dinho and Bernie putting in the ridiculous shifts that they did - I can't see us getting up without that sort of intensity and control provided.
Aguero,Dinho and Mendy are all out,if they were fully fit we would be in a stronger position.Full strength at the moment we have no excuses.

Hopefully we put the ball in the box from set pieces and especially corners. We definitely have the height over them, We have the likes of Dias, Laporte, Rodri to cause big problems from these situations.I'd go
Ederson
Walker Dias Laporte Ake
Rodri
KDB Bernardo
Torres Jesus Sterling
They are going to be very vulnerable at set pieces, Ake Dias and Laporte are real threats
