Kick off time 20:00 (BST). Live on TNT Sports for those in the UK.

A chance to go 9 points from 9 and pretty much secure our place in the last 16.

I would like us to be a bit more convincing across the full 90 minutes.

Predicted XI:
-------------Ederson
Lewis---Dias---Stones---Ake
-------------Rodri
-----Bernardo---Kovacic
Foden-----Haaland---Grealish

Derby Sunday I think a few won't be risked.

Keep walker away from this one. Rest him up for the rags. Akanji or Lewis can take right back duty.

Walker looked spent second half. One recovery run looked like Phillips pace

I think they play on Astro turf dont they?

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

in reality Alvarez and Haaland can’t be risked on that pitch so a tough choice upfront, Bobb F9?

 

[rossmoss]

I would be tempted to rest Rodri and a couple of other big players. The pitch is terrible and we should have enough to win with a rotated line-up. Even if we were to lose or draw I'm sure we wouldn't have problems winning the group anyway...
