Saiss out for them. Pretty big loss

Think that's the best team for this game all things considered.

Natural wingers on their correct side in Sterling and Foden works best against 5 in defence. Bernardo at false 9 helps us control the ball. With their pace in behind, we don't want them to break too often, especially with Dinho at the back.

Decent line-up. Nothing else that could be done with the defence the way it is, and not too many decisions to make further forward either - the bench is very EDS-heavy.

I'm going for a KDB masterclass.

COME ON BLUEBOYS

Please win

See you on the other side folks

 

[Deepest Blue]

Brilliantly assembled team given the circumstances.
Ball retention is key.

Can see why he's gone with Fernandinho but I thought CJ did very well the other day and could have done the job. Let's hope wits and not just legs are required tonight.

Totally trust Pep with this lineup. It's a ruthless time of the season - eg Jack has his best game then on the bench - we all know Pep will have done his homework on Wolves and I think he's gone for a fluid midfield ahead of our less than first choice defence. Bernie had a breather and it's good to see him back.

Mahrez can make a difference once space opens up (although I heard a whisper he may be wanting to go sooner than he planned - though that would not stop him being picked) I also think Raheem is a different player on the right and deservedly stays in the team. Come on boys get the win and shut up those Scouse numpties.

I'd like to have seen Jesus starting this one.

Laporte will be busy

Why isn’t Haaland playing?
