Does aguero have another injury?

Whys Laporte not playing , Pep said hes fit

Rodri was rested for the second half on Saturday and will therefore start in my view.

I suspect you're right, though he has played nearly every game.

All I can say about that line up is that pep obviously doesn’t think finishing 1st is such a big deal

MAN CITY TEAM NEWS

Team to play Porto: Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Garcia, Zinchenko, Rodri, Fernandinho, Silva, Foden, Sterling, Torres.

Subs: Steffen, Carson, Walker, Stones, Ake, Gundogan, Jesus, Laporte, De Bruyne, Mendy, Mahrez, Doyle.

You know what, that subs bench would more than hold it's own against anyone.

Probably being saved for the weekend.

Gaughan had an article this week saying Garcia was 5th choice again.

So it's clear that Stones is being rested, Ake's not fully fit and Laporte is in Pep's bad books.

Otherwise, happy with that side.

Laporte has had a few injuries, might be too much of a risk.

Garcia shouldn't be playing

Only if he's crap, nothing else.

In what way? It is an excellent lineup though there will be criticism about Garcia, of course.

I don’t think peps happy with him atm but to pick someone who is no where near as good and will be off in a few weeks is just bizarre. Otherwise love that team
