It was funny once

Glad it's not just me then! That and FFS Mahrez, comedy gold mate

The game is important to establish continuity for the important games, playing the youth makes no sense. Introducing them when we are comfortably leading is an option though

Ederson
Walker
Garcia
Laporte
Mendy
Rodri
D.silva
Kdb
Foden
Mahrez
Sterling

Barcodes are on form and they sacrificed the FA Cup tie for PL safety.

if we turn up feeling “entitled’ to smash them, we might have another frustrating day against a mass defence.

Would be interesting to see Graaf on the bench and brought on if we happen to forge a good lead.

Think that's a fact choice. Steffi might have a decent grunt but surely Ivan Lendl would be better in the air?

I think Pep rests main team this mid week ... then plays full strength on weekend ... then this second string team again next midweek so then for the FA Cup semi we have that full strength first choice XI ready to go ...

I think this will be the first round of fixtures since the return where we aren't the late game. Weird.
