Spurs (a), Bournemouth (a), Sporting (a), Brighton (a) then another International break. De Bruyne, Walker, Grealish, Doku missing. Vital we prioritise now. The league cup is lowest priority. CL isn't a must win either. League games are the priority.
I don't mind Foden and Nunes playing some part tonight, to keep their rhythm going.
Otherwise, it's about using it for fitness in fringe players and experience for the academy.
Ortega, Rico, Stones, Simpson-Pusey, Ake, Gundo, O'Reilly, McAtee, Foden, Nunes, Alfa-Ruprecht
An hour with the above, then bring in the likes of Wilson-Esbrand and Wright and whatever other academy players we have who didn't feature last night.
I personally really rate Wright and wouldn't mind him starting over O'Reilly who I think has been pretty sloppy for us the last couple of appearances. Allow Gundo to push up more and show us his ability to play that holding role.
