Surprised Sane is starting again but no complaints.

If we were to lose, and it’s a very big if, we would still have two further games to make amends. That alone makes it far from a “must win” imo. Personally I think Guardiola will prioritise today in terms of team selection.

I don't think that's how Peps mind works though. He'd rather get the CL group sewn up, then rotate players in the dead rubbers.
We have enough strength and depth to win both games though, so hopefully won't matter

KDB aside, the strongest XI we have. I fancy us for a win today you know

Would have preferred Mahrez, with his current form, but you can't argue about the strength of that team.

 

[deano ou812]

Really strong attacking line up,shame Diaz didn’t make the bench after his two goals..

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

If that’s actually a 4-3-3 it’s either brave or very stupid
