Sevilla (A) - Tue 6th Sept, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

I’d guess at Akanji, Ake, Dias, Cancelo unless Ake can’t play anywhere near a full game. Then Cancelo, Akanji, Dias, Gomez.

Haven't heard anything about Ake being available or not. If he's fit, I'd imagine he plays. It's a big game to be blooding Akanji in.

Just this from tonight.

Our Centre backs are made out of glass.

Hence the reason we bought Akanji.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Be good to see Alvarez start this one. Mahrez also to start maybe.

 

[DWIFF]

Ideal opportunity to try three at the back and get some minutes into the fringe players legs.

Ederson
Akanji Dias Ake
Cancelo Gomez
Phillips Rodri Silva
Foden Alvarez

I think people are overrating Pep’s trust in Alvarez. He’s started one game. He’ll be eased in, like all youngsters tend to be.

I see they have Alex Telles, Isco, Lamela and Delaney. Interesting.

Are you sure you’re not watching Teletubbies?

If Alvarez keeps on putting in performances like last week, it won’t be long before he gains Pep's trust.

Absolutely, but just like with Foden, he’ll play in easier games and slowly play more and more, unless we get a load of injurues.

Some of the action from the two matches Haaland and Dortmund played against Sevilla last year:

(The goal @1:51 was disallowed by a stupid ref.)
