I've a suspicion Laporte will be back at the swamp so possibly THB or Garcia alongside Ake, otherwise that's pretty much the XI I'd start with.

If Laporte is to play at the swamp I think he needs an hour against Marseilles first

Good warm up for the derby. I would not start anyone who is starting the derby. That might not be possible so if anyone is starting this should be off after 60 minutes top, and we should use 5 subs to make that happen if needed.

We worked hard for 1st place to be 100% after 5 rounds, why not make advantage of it especially with the derby coming up and we play Wednesday so United have 1 more day to relax.

But we know Pep, he is crying for 5 subs, but he also does not use them even if he can.

United have to go all out in Leipzig, plus the travel.

Not a dead rubber as far as Marseille are concerned. I predict a cautious 1-1.

Why do you care what it means to Marseille?

Be good to see Steffen, Ake & Laporte get some minutes in the legs

Are people still being wilfully stupid about this?

Pep used 41 subs in the 10 games we played with 5 subs possible.

We don't need to guess if he'd use them if he had the option.

Bernabe?
