I'm at the game on Wednesday and, being a selfish c**t, I'd love to see Haaland start. I'm sure I'll see him in the flesh in March when I come back up to the Etihad, but I don't want to wait that long. To say I wish I'd never left Manchester is an understatement.

I Wonder if lewis cud play left back him and walker fullbacks be fire.

Mind you moving to Mars was a bit extreme?

With the short turnaround between this and the derby, I don’t think many players, if any, will start both games. Could feasibly see two almost completely different XIs.

Southampton:

Ortega
Lewis
Akanji
Ake
Cancelo
Phillips
Gundogan
Palmer
Grealish
Foden
Alvarez

United:

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Grealish
Mahrez
Haaland

Speaking of the short turnaround, does Pep get a free pass to moan like fuck about the fixtures in press conference then? Or does that only work for the victims?

Yes but we have the biggest squad ever seen in football whereas the German Stonehenge has an injury crisis never seen before.
