How will we line up? I reckon:
---------------------Ederson-----------------
Walker----Stones---Laporte-----Mendy
-----------------Fernandinho-------------
Sterling----Bernardo----Silva----Sane
------------------Agüero ---------------

Bench: Muric, Otamendi, Kompany, Foden, Mahrez, Gundogan, Jesus

Not sure Fern is fit but if he is would go with that. If not then I can see Gundo getting the nod again.

I watched the presser today and Pep mentioned something about a muscle problem for Fern but I couldn't quite make it out. It looks like he is fine though on that training vid so that's good news.

Gundogan has to be dropped.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Bernardo on the bench either

'Has' to? Why may I ask? Its a tad harsh. Like I said before, he isnt shit or great, more than capable of doing a good job.

Not sure he’ll feel the need to recall sane yet with Mendy getting assists down that side. Probably Jesus in is my guess.
Tracking back is overrated.

Because we have better players on the bench and we should be playing our best team.

Not sure if that will happen as we hearing Dinho may not be fully fit.

I would be trying to protect and rest fern as much as I could this season, we will need him fresh when the season really heats up. I wouldn't start him today.

I'd like to see a strong team but with Gomes given some time at DM with Fern on the bench. Seems like an opportunity if we may rely on him later on.

I know you like Razza, really really really like him to the point starting to think more than Kolorav :o

I was thinking Gundo can cover for Dino if he needs rest, not replace him, do a job, we need to maintain our rotation policy to keep everyone fresh

P.s I believe we should start Sane on left and Razza on right for this one, don't think these pluckers can handle pace

If Fern needs a rest then Gundo should start.
Agree about Sanè and Raza. Haven't been impressed by Mahrez and I think Wolves will be scared of the pace of S&R

This will be a very different game as Wolves will not sit back.

do you think he might stay on the bench until he signs a new contract?
