At first view it looks a strange selection but in hindsight it could be a masterstroke, people are already posting various possible formations and if we can't work it out then I doubt OGS will have any idea, you can imagine them preparing to face Aguero or Jesus and now they have neither. Will sterling play up top on his own or will it be Mahrez? Will we play with a forward or will the front 3 interchange all game? Is it a back 3 or a back 4? Will KDB sit deep or be driving forward?
More questions than answers but i am more confident that we will keep things tight, one thing is for sure Pep has gone for experience and there is nobody on that pitch who should feel overawed.
