Live on BT Sport (UK).

17:45 Kick Off (GMT).


Not much to say about this one other than play some players into fitness and rest everyone who needs it. Can't just play all youngsters, that's no good for them but players like Ake, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, maybe even De Bruyne could use the game time. Wolves (H) after this, so we need everyone fresh.

Cancelo is 1 booking away from suspension, so best he stays away completely.

Obviously the game is important to Leipzig as they fight it out with Club Brugge for the Europa League spot.

Steffen
?
Stones
Ake
Zinchenko
Ferna
KDB
Foden
Mahrez
Palmer
Grealish

Think Pep will start KDB, Foden and Grealish to help them regain form after the injuries/covid and play them 60-70 minutes.

Who is going to start at RB, though? Some academy lad, or 60 minutes for Walker and then some youngster? Could Stones play there with Ake and Laporte at CB? We may play with 3 CBs (Stones, Ake and Laporte) and WBs.

McAtee is likely to get some minutes in the 2nd half.
 
Leipzig and Brugge fighting for the EL spot, no doubt Pep will go pretty strong out of respect to Brugge

Ederson
Walker Stones Ake Zinchenko
De Bruyne Dinho Grealish
Mahrez Palmer Jesus
 
Palmer to start, McAtee has a chance of starting but if not def should get half an hour. Maybe a right back (egan-riley?) too as walker and cancelo have played a lot of minutes and you want to rest them here really.
 
I think Pep may have suggested Jesus was due to play when talking about his potential injury, so if he's fit expect him to play.
