Rest Dias and Foden, pair Stones with whoever and hopefully Kun gets some minutes

 

[Delphinho]

I believe Delap is suspended after getting sent off in an EDS match

The suspension won`t count for the first team. Harwood-Bellis got a red last year and played in the FA cup a couple days later. Delap hasn`t played for the EDS in weeks though because of the suspension, so no chance he plays. Maximum Garcia and one of Doyle/Palmer starts from the academy IMO

It’s obviously difficult predicting the line up for this one as a lot will depend on all the sports science data. Think we can say for certain steffan, mendy, Garcia, Laporte, fern,Torres, Jesus will start. I also expect Mahrez to start as he was taken off and I think Sterling will play as pep always comments that he recovers very quickly. Need to keep gundogan and Bernardo away from this can’t lose one of them whilst kdb is injured.

Steffan
walker if fit?
garcia
Laporte
mendy

fern
doyle
mahrez

torres
jesus
sterling

Never ideal having to travel abroad before a big game Saturday

I think you won't be far off, but expect Zinchenko in midfield, Mahrez in a front 3 and Sterling on the bench

Spuds at weekend and they play blue dippers away in Cup later on Weds so will have a tough test.

Perfect time to break one of the oldest records in football.

Tough game, especially with the need to rotate and the comedown from such a big win.

------------------Steffan
Walker--Mbete--Laporte--Mendy
--------------Fernandinho
-----------Doyle--------Foden
Mahrez--------Jesus---------Torres

Get a good lead and get Foden and Jesus off as soon as possible. Would like to see Palmer at some point, maybe in place of Foden.

How come they had VAR in the last round against forest?

I’m sure they didn’t ... if they did, they’d not have those 5 goals

Didn't have VAR, as Forest would tell you.

Probably got installed when they were in the PL last.
