Bravo
Otta - Komps - Laporte
Walker - KdB - Ferna - D Silva - Sane
Aguero - Jesus
So we've played 4 at the back all season but will change to 3 for a cup final? Then Jesus has been out for ages and he will start...
Ok...

If Sterling’s fit he needs to play. Wembley’s wide spaces favour Sane and Sterling. Jesus bench only surely. Aguero to start. My only doubt is Centre Backs. We need one with a bit of pace. I’d be inclined to go with Otter and Laporte but I suppose Kompany may start alongside Otter instead.

I think the midfield of kdb Silva and f1 is key. These guys are the nuts and should be the difference for us.

Let's hope Silva's shaken off that rust, he was a shadow of himself on Monday night.

Don't think it was rust.....The difference on Sunday is the pitch won't be a sodding cow field

Otter and Stones as a centre back pairing. It worked until Xmas. Vince doesn't merit his place on what we've seen so far. Danilo at left back.
I think we should go with ederson.
The front six picks itself.
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

Pep has already stated Bravo will play. Wouldn't surprise me to see other players who have featured heavily in the run to the final, start in the final. His comment about the locker room being more important than the result speaks volumes

The apparently very well informed Jose Alvarez says Sterling didn’t train today and is out of the final. Bernardo it is then.

I think Pep said it was a hammy. He may not be back for a couple of weeks yet and hasn't trained since the Basel game. This chap does appear to be a good sauce but it's very likely true even if he is just guessing. I think the Times reported today that Sterling would be fit but they know n more than us.

Not sure what quite the difference is between "not fully fit" and injured but that is what Pep said about Raheem before wigan game so I would be very surprised if he didn't start.
From the comment on CityWatch twitter originating from Jose Alvarez:
"Raheem Sterling didn't train today and WON'T start against Arsenal tomorrow. [@10JoseAlvarez]"
doesn't sound too good for a "Sterling start", (possible hamstring twinge?), so far he hasn't got any predictions wrong to my knowledge

Bernie Silva will do a good job in sterling's absence.

Ramsay is the only one I’m worried about. He always does well against us.

25 players travelled to London today on the train. Walker and the Otter not amongst them but its assumed they are going to be involved as Pep didn't rule them out yesterday.
