Play the kids, deadest rubber game imaginable....

Not for Soriano it isn't. Isn't a group match win £1mill or £2mill?

Ortega

Lewis
Stones
Ake
Gomez

Gundo
Phillips
Grealish

Mahrez
Alvarez
Palmer

More wishful thinking because I'd love to see Grealish get a go in midfield and see Phillips get a start but likely too early for that. Maybe JWE at LB and Gomez in midfield?

That's the main advantage of winning the group early, being able to give minutes to players who need the confidence and some kids too.

not very dead to the board if there's £2.5m up for grabs..... Pep will go about 2/3 strength in my opinion.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Its not a dead rubber, if we avoid defeat we equal the record of 23 games unbeaten at home

Not a bad line-up for this game. Is Phillips fit yet though?
