Has an English team ever before played 3 consecutive competitive games outside England but still within Britain? Or even "just" outside England?

Any champions league winner since the introduction of the CWC.

Outside England but within Britain?

Probably not no, not unless they had back to back aways against Swansea and Cardiff in the league adjacent to an away cup match against the same.

will this be the first time we have had a fully fit midfield to pick from?

ie silva, Ilky, fernandihnio, sterling, sane, KDB and navas (not including fernando or yaya as neither of them will get a look in at the starting 11)

only nolito missing due to his idiotic red card!

really interested to see what Pep does

At first i thought he might move fernandihnio to right back seeing how he likes his full backs to play but with sagna and zabba adapting very well to what pep wants i cant see him doing that

great to have kun back as well..nice and rested!

Big gutted we only got two last night. Played 9 scored 27. Exactly 3 goals a game. Last season at the same stage we were on 2.11 per game and ended the season on a miserly 1.98 per game.

Yet still we scored more than anyone else in the league so not exactly miserly. But certainly felt like we could score a lot more than that.

Wow what a question, I think no

a fully fit and raring to go Sergio will see to that at the weekend

Silva on the bench, with a 20 minute run out to warm him up for Glasgow, with KDB getting a 20 min break. Garcia on bench, Sane to start on left, Sterling on right, KDB & Gungogan in the middle, with Fernandinho sitting in behind them in a 4-1-4-1. Back four picks itself...BS..JS..NO..AK.

If we are up by 3 with ANY time remaining, it is time to get Garcia on and give Gundogan a rest and let Diaz have another run around, keeping Sergio hungry and fatigue free.

Bravo

Sagna
Otamendi
Stones
Kolarov

Fernandinho

Sterling
KDB (Silva)
Gundogan (Garcia)
Sane

Aguero (Diaz)
