RB Leipzig (H) - Tue 28th Nov, 20:00 | CL | Pre- Match Thread

[Buckshaw Blue]

How can it be a dead rubber if Liepzig can still top the group.

Exactly. We want to win the group so we will be at home in the 2nd leg in the next round. And Leipzig are a decent side. I would keep rotation to a minimum.

We'll at least reach the final even if we come second in the group (which we won't).

I don't care who plays in the CL as long as we hammer Spuds this week. The PL is more important.

They would have to beat us 6-0? No?

For you maybe , but for City it's important to win this game, winning runs breeds confidence, the Spurs game will take care of itself .

Not to forget, we would also avoid group winners, like Bayern, Real or Barca.

The first qualifier if points are level is the head-to-head results between the two teams so they would have to better our 1-3 at their place to finish top.

Top spot is at stake, pep won't see this as a dead rubber. He will make as many changes as possible within his trusted squad. Which means we could see as many as 3 whole changes from weekends lineup.

Gvardiol comes in, Lewis comes in somewhere and Grealish if he's fit that's about it. Gomez, Bobb maybe phillips to see minutes as subs if we're winning. Stones hasn't been out long enough to need to use this to ease him in so just give him more time to recover and be ultra cautious with him. If hes truly fit and ready to go perhaps 20 minutes from the bench but no more.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Rest Rodri and Haaland. Hopefully Jack Grealish is feeling better and available to get some game time.

Most important thing though is no more injuries.

We absolutely must beat Spurs at the weekend.
