We obviously don't want to, but we can afford to drop points in this if needs be, we have the quality to be able to go to Shakhtar and Napoli and win both comfortably further down the line if necessary, Chelsea on Saturday is absolutely crucial, if we can put a 6 point gap between us going into the international break that's huge, conversely, we lose that ad we go in to the international break likely 3 points off the lead and level with Chelsea despite such a fantastic start. For me, Pep picks the Chelsea team first in his head and then works out a team to play Shakhtar.

Can see Yaya coming in for this, possibly Bernardo too who has been underwhelming in the premier league so far, the slower pace of European football probably suits both of them better for differing reasons right now and i expect Fernandinho to have to put in a big shift on Saturday, having him fresh could be vital.

This will NOT happen. Look at what the higher ups want...progress in CL and everything else we enter. Tuesday comes first we will worry about Saturday later. Therefore strongest team. Only when we qualify will they think about saving players.

I think Pep will prioritize the CL over the League
 
Otamendi is still giving away chances to the oppostion in every game and we wont get away with it against Shakhtar and Chelsea, Vinnie has to start if fit.

Ederson

Walker Kompany Stones Danilo

Sterling Yaya Toure De Bruyne Sane

Jesus Kun
