I think we'll see Yaya start.
Is Kompany fit?

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Bravo

Tosin stones mangala

Danilo sane

Gundogan foden delph/Bernardo

Jesus Diaz

I think we will see at left wing back again. He doesn't look comfortable in that position but I think pep will want to coach it into him in case we have any injuries. Maybe Kompany in for stones.

Am I right in thinking this isn't on the box?

Not in this country but it's on loads of foreign stations. There will be plenty of streams.

[Easy]

Pep said this is a "final." Plus we are playing a PL team away.

He will make changes but some suggestions here are ridiculous.

With important senior members of the first team needing minutes Pep won't start the kids. They haven't even made bench recently.

Would expect to see something like

Bravo

Danilo
Stones
Kompany
Mangala

Delph
Gundogan
Bernardo

Sane
Jesus
Sterling

Mangala, Delph, Gundogan, Bravo, Sane all played very little and need minutes. Bernardo also needs to play. I think it would be drastic to start Yaya as he hasn't played at all. Put him on the bench and bring him on early in the second half for Gundogan. Sterling has not played much recently so he should start despite playing the full game today.

If we are winning comfortably we can bring on Foden/Diaz/Tosin otherwise we need to bring players like De bruyne/Aguero to try to win the game. Pep wants to win it all he is not going to throw away the game and start Diaz, Foden and Tosin, I know they did great in pre season but a trophy is on the line here, to many not a "big" one but a trophy is a trophy.

Anybody picking Zinchenko for this?

I'd like to see Delph at left back. Would be fantastic if he could give us a rotation option for Mendy.
