Just looking at parking for Wednesday night, it offered me ASDA for £6.25. Is there an area in the car park that you can park for match day? I thought before you could get fined for parking there if you weren't using ASDA... Help please

We usually park in the City and walk but time is going to be tight as we aren't leaving until after work.

Asda is free for 4 hours, i think
 
with the tie effectively over, and Pep's burning desire to win every single game, i think we'll see a rotated but strong XI.

Sterling, Gundo, Delap, Fernandinho, Jesus, Palmer (is he available?) all allow the front 6 to rotate as/if needed but i think Pep's biggest selection problem is the back four, and how to rest certain players with a couple of injuries about. Next game is Monday which gives a couple of extra days off, and i wonder if Pep will adjust to a back 3, or give Mbete a game in a back 4? hard to second guess.
 
I think we'll see a stronger XI than many expect, something like this.

Ederson
Cancelo
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
Gundogan
Foden
Grealish
Sterling
Jesus

i think Fernandinho in for Rodri and you're about there? I do wonder if the centre half 'issue' is playing on his mind.

I don't think he will play Delap, but I would like to see him start a game and get maybe a few goals under his belt. He will probably play Jesus instead.

Good rest for Cancelo, De Bruyne, Mahrez and Rodri
 
Anyone know when Cup scheme money went out? Can't seem to find this one on my statement.

If he plays Cancelo and De Bruyne, he's more mental than I ever thought.

Not really got any other option at right back. Can't see him playing Egan-Riley in a CL knock out game, even if the tie is effectively over.

Surely Dinho will start? Other than that I don’t think you’ll be far off.

I think the key to playing a stronger side will be that Pep will have us play well within ourselves and try and just keep it tight for the first 45 mins. Assuming we can get to 60/65 in complete control then he can bring on some kids to see out the game.
 
Ederson
Cancelo, Stones, Ake, Zinchenko
Fernandinho
Gundogan, Grealish
Jesus, Delap, Sterling
 
Knowing Pep he’ll go really strong for this, just hope we don‘t pick up any more injuries.

Personally as we’re already 5-0 up I’d like to see a starting line-up similar to this:

Carson
Egan-Riley
Zinchenko
Ake (if fit?)
Mbete
Fernandinho
Gundogan
Sterling
McAtee
Jesus
Delap
