[balotelli's back pocket]

Hopefully not Savinho's knee again.

That team should be good enough. One (potentially enforced) change in the first 3 league games is unheard of for Pep.

No Savinho is rough. Same illness as Foden? Or Injury?

 

[yankblue]

Good to see Rodders back. Wonder whats happened to Savinho?

 

[OntarioBlue]

Good strong side and a big chance for Grealish to make a statement.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

It won't be, but I'd love to see Bernardo on the right, Doku on the left and Grealish with KDB in the middle.

 

[Damanino]

big extra motivation after Arse result, we beat them comfortably here last season that also was a very early in the season too.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Every gameweek there always seems to be someone missing that Pep didn't mention in his presser

 

[OntarioBlue]

No Foden again

He’s still ill according to Pep

 

[akrh215]

Akanji over Stones ?

Stones always injured. That's the main issue. But yeah if he's fit, he could start.

Im unsure of that midfield defensively against a decent team.....bernardo and Kova are great players but defensively neitehr are as strong as Rodri and even combined....

Losing Savio is disappointing ...he gives way more going forward than Grealish does but Grealish ay add that element of control
