He has to play a team that can work and keep an eye on the rag match, my preference would be
Bravo
Danilo
Adarabioyo
Mangala
Zinchenko
Yaya
Gundogan
Bernardo
Foden
Diaz
Aguero
Would be my shout, with a strong bench but add Latibeaudiere & Nmecha though important we keep KDB, Sane, Jesus, Silva, Kompany, Fernandinho, Delph, Walker, Otamendi, Sterling in cotton wool
I think he’ll play a stronger team than most on here anticipate, judging by his comments:
"I said to the guys, anyone who doesn't want to play against Donetsk tell me now please because I am going to prepare the game to win.
"For the respect of Shakhtar, for the respect of Napoli, for the respect of the competition and because it's a big opportunity to win 18 points for the prestige of the club.
"The best way to prepare for United, Tottenham and Swansea is to play good against Shakhtar."
Although there will be massive rotation I can see Pep playing a few of the main first teamers whilst telling them to take it easy and play at the intensity of a friendly. Some guys just enjoy playing all the time - I can see maybe Walker, Nico and one of Sane or Sterling starting the match.
