Can only see Pep going strong with 4 days recovery before dipper game

---------------Ederson
Walker--Dias--Laporte--Cancelo
----------------Rodri
KDB-Mahrez-Gundogan?-Bernardo-Sterling

Gundogan is an injury doubt. I'd bring Zinchenko in for Cancelo at Anfield is he is available.

I'd play Sterling at PSG and Grealish at Anfield. I am not so worried about fatigue for the Anfield game as Liverpool are in the same position as us with an away tie in Porto.

Foden will play

I think Mahrez, Sterling, Torres and Stones might well start this one. Phil was out on his feet at the end of the Chelsea game

Exactly. At this stage of the season you go strong team for the big games. The only changes will be to bring in the likes of Mahrez, He got 2 last time out v PSG.

For some reason im not that bothered about this game. Id much rather see some key players rested ahead of Sunday as for that's a much bigger game than this one.

I’m torn about this, because whilst I agree with you, I’m also aware that resting players for Paris still won’t guarantee us getting anything at that place on Sunday. On that basis, taking these 3 games as a whole, if we were going into Sunday with 2 wins in the locker already, I would feel like the pressure really would be off us.

There was a moment of play towards the end of the age where he attempted to recover a turn over of play and he resembled a rag doll in his efforts,he literally collapsed around the feet of the Chelsea lad.....it was a testament to the brilliant 100% commitment he had put in previous.

A weakened team tomorrow doesn't guarantee anything on Sunday, so we should go full strength and try to secure this group early.

Winning this group means that either PSG or another first place team goes out in the round of 16, which will definitely benefit our chances of winning the competition.

Rest a few players and i'd take a defeat away to PSG much easier than a defeat to Liverpool

its the right answer
but why risk somebody getting injured when the truth is we don't need a result in this one and should be ok in getting out of the group.. city of old would have gone full on in the PSG just to show that they are a good team,
but you see time and time again in europe the knockouts and final are the showcase games

why have a great squad if only to play your best 11 all the time ? does not make sense
you want your best 11 fit and ready for the big knockout and semi/final games
