Are you basing that on how we played last time against them? From the way Pep spoke in the press conference yesterday I think he'll do something different tactically to the FA Cup win.

He mentioned Sterling has been playing every 3 days twice in the press conference, and he's started every game since the Leicester defeat so I think he might be in line for rotation.
If he does start on the bench, I would LOVE to see a Jesus - Aguero - Sané front three!

On the other hand, Sterling was subbed after 66 mins on saturday despite playing well. Which might suggest that Pep had tonight in mind.

I agree though that he's likely to change the set up compared to the cup win.
 
I'm worried he might go back to shoe-horning too many central players into the team, like when Gundogan was fit. He might play Fernandinho, Yaya, Silva AND De Bruyne, with De Bruyne out of position again. Please no!

I agree. Although he does have better options now with the arrival of Jesus and with Sane settling in.

I just got that impression from yesterday's press conference, where he talked about the need for Silva and De Bruyne to be further forward, whilst talking about Sane, Sterling and Jesus as the future. It's probably a case of 2 + 2 = 5. I gave up trying to confidently predict Guardiola's line-ups a while ago!
 
Can't wait for this game,i'm excited we might be able to put out our best team for the first time in ages,hopefully vinny makes it
Yes I would love to see Vinny play, but some of our learned friends on here think it is to much to ask, after playing at weekend, I'm not so sure.
