Even Pep said on his presser he has to prioritise games and Wolves , Leipzig & Goons need to be considered whilst picking the team tonight , would still be great to stuff the Barcodes and as others have stated if they also field a weakened side then we are still favourites , But i do not see Howe giving this competition away , they got to Wembley last year and that will make more determined to go back and win it.
If we pick a strong defence and combative midfield we will make it difficult for them , i think we will rest our main creative players , expect a low scoring Barcode win but would be happy to be proved wrong.

Difficult choice for tonight. I will go for:

Ortega

Lewis Akanji Ake Gomez

Kovacic Phillips

Bobb Foden Grealish

Alvarez

Akanji Phillips pivot or gvardiol Phillips maybe?

More likely Kovacic and Phillips pivot I would think
