Maybe Foden. KDB. Mahrez as subs but the rest will start. He will not risk the Chumps League. That's what I think but you never know.

I think that you’re missing the fact that they’re a good side, they had a couple of chances to score against us and, as Pep says, we arrive we score we arrive we score and football’s not usually like that.
In other words, everything went right for us and the 0-5 score line wasn’t representative of the difference between the sides.
IMO, if we put a disjointed team and and we’re 0-3 down at halftime we’ll be wishing that we’d played a reasonably strong line up, at least until we’d got the measure of them.

I think Pep’ll go a lot stronger than that and put a bunch of the young un’s on in the 2nd half if we’re leading. He’ll want to win it regardless of the 5 goal aggregate advantage.

When was the last time we conceded 5 at home and didn't score under Pep?

That’s gone and jinxed it….Penalty shootout to decide it..

Think Grealish will shine in this game

Zinny/Dinho tuck in. Foden/Bernie run their ******** off. Sterling/Jesus mad to score. KDB who gave all against United has easy role up top. Grealish/Mahrez to kill them off if needed. If Dinho tires, Rodri into CM/CB with Stones going wide

I would like for Jesus to get sharpness through these matches. Well need him in the next rounds.

Shift make defence. Even more important to put pressure on them starting from our forewords.

Can’t see us getting beat by 5+!
Like to see we keep our momentum going.

I trust every squat player so let’s see what comes out the tunnel as our picked 11.

we won't get beat

Seems likely, considering its been a couple of covid cases in other PL teams as well the last week or so. Hopefully its just Covid and nothing more serious, he should be back in a couple of days.

Have to love this line nowadays
