Interesting seeing as tonight would have been Sergio's 50th chumps league game for us, he goes with Jesus?

Very strong team and bench. Zinchenko's not even on the bench, which I find a bit surprising.

Not sure the front 3 looks balanced. Two right sided forwards/wingers. Good to see KDB back but I'm surprised he's starting. Walker still not quite right. Before England played Spain they said Walker wasn't starting because he got a knock against Croatia, but Gareth brought him on when Spain were pulling us all over the place. Stupid cunt.

Wasn't he sat next to Pep for the presser?

not even close with my team prediction - presume Stones at RB again in a back four.

No Aguero?


I mentioned it earlier, I believe today would be his 50th chumps league game for us, more than any other player to date.

Whilst I'm not over enamored by the selection, we've got plenty of the bench to mix it up if needed.

Maybe Sanè is benched as his petulance started to get better of himself on Saturday, Lowton certainly knew how to press his buttons? Or is pep sticking with mahrez out of stubborness?

I think pep is trying to play mahrez into form. But for THAT penalty you could argue he's getting there.
