You'll be surprised when you see the lineups for his Barca dead rubber CL games before an important league game. There were two instances.Pep played his Barca 1st team for every match. If they were fit and available, they played. That's why Messi has a bajillion goals, he never misses a game. He will play his best available team for every game. He just wants to win matches, like any manager. If he was England manager for those daft friendlies, he would have played Stones in both.
Okay. That's kind of comforting. No risks then PepYou'll be surprised when you see the lineups for his Barca dead rubber CL games before an important league game. There were two instances.
Jorquera, Sylvinho, Pique, Busquets, Caceres, Keita, V.Sanchez, V.Vazquez, Hleb, Pedro, Krkic in 2008. Before Busquets and Pedro were starters.
Pinto, Maxwell, Fontas, Bartra, Montoya, dos Santos, Thiago, Sergi Roberto, Pedro, Cuenca, Rafinha in 2011.
None of the 22 started in the weekend league game.
Shows how light we are up front. I would be tempted to play without Sergio or Jesus for this one and play zinchenko and foden.
On the other hand though it's funny how a winning run can continue to steamroll. Aguero and Jesus likely to play a half each I think.

Sergio needs a rest more than mosr, he was limping for most of the second half on SundayBravo
Danilo Otamendi Tosin Mangala
Gundogan Yaya
B.Silva Foden Sane
Aguero
That's what I'd go with.
