Lets go gung ho and sod the consequences.

Carson, Cancelo, Stones, Otamendi, Zinchenko, Braaf, Doyle, Foden, Palmer, Fiorini, Bernado Silva

I want Watford to stay up, I was quite impressed with their fans at Wembley and fair play to them for supporting Watford when the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea are on their doorsteps. I think we may as well rest players for this, if now isn't the time to give some of the kids an opportunity then it never will be. I also think Watford is a big tough side and will put themselves about its just not worth getting any injuries in such a nothing game.

I would actually have more interest in the game if we started this line-up.

It would play havoc with my fantasy football team!

Why would you want to risk Phil Foden getting injured? Too risky in my view.

Yeah, that is a good point!

Eddie is still in with a shout at the golden glove, so talk of throwing this with kids in a nothing match are barmy. As well as integrity of the competition and Pep just doesn't do that shit especially after the Wembley no show. I expect nearly a full side out. Risk of injured players is not a normal Pep consideration.

Well, I think it is a risk to play a full-strength team in a game which essentially means nothing when we have the champions league.

From the presser:

Guardiola on #ManCity's rhythm:
"We are going to make some changes, some players who played the semi-final are going to play but we are going to play the next two games I will try to let all of them play. We will see."

Guardiola on reaction to the Arsenal game:
"I didn’t see them since the match so I don’t know. I want them to be ourselves."

Personally, i'd be going full strength in these two games to get some rhythm ahead of Madrid. Injuries the risk obviously but if we turn up with players out of form and rusty Madrid will batter us. It's pretty likely we'll concede so we need a few goals, and could do with the likes of Kdb, Jesus, Foden, Mahrez in the goals in the lead up to the game, confidence will be pretty low after Saturday.
