just win it 5-0 I’m not asking much.

Wasn’t far away off :-)))

 

[14aguero]

De Bruyne, Bernardo, Rodri, and the rest who aren't injured at the moment.

 

[blueabdi]

Feeling confident of this one.

Ederson
Cancelo Dias Laporte Ake
Rodri
KDB Bernardo
Mahrez Jesus Foden

Cancelo suspended

 

[alexmcity]

Ederson

no idea id guess at ake
dias
laporte
zinky

rodri
kdb
gundogan

mahrez
foden
bernardo

That will be the team imo. If we actually had Walker and cancelo available I’d be very confident, with what we have I think it will be 2 1 either way

Jesus has been our best forward in April, he's likely to start, imo. Plus, he was our best player vs Real two years ago.

 

[Withnail]

Jesus may well have played himself into the starting 11 today.

Jesus will definitely get some game time on Tuesday imo. Played well and scored twice against them a couple of years ago.

 

[richards30]

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
Foden
Mahrez
Jesus

 

[PragueBlue]

If everyone is fit to start, I would expect to see:

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Ake
Bernardo Rodri KDB
Mahrez Jesus Foden

 

[Withnail]

Their midfield is old and not very mobile and if we play like we did against the Dippers in the recent PL game they will struggle to cope.

 

[Constantine]

It would really surprise me if Gundo is not a starter on Tuesday.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

From Pep’s comments it sounds to me like Walker has more chance of being fit than Stones does, so I’m hopeful we’ll see Walker patched up, injected etc at RB. If not, then Zinchenko probably gets asked to play there.

If I had to guess, this will be the team:

Ederson

Walker
Dias
Laporte
Ake

Rodri
Bernardo
Gundogan

Mahrez
KDB
Foden

In reality, each of KDB, Bernardo and Foden will be at false 9 at some point.

I’d personally prefer Zinchenko to Ake, but that’s just me.
