Its early, but why not. It's a cup final. Another chance of putting a pot on the sideboard.
Fancy us in this assuming we don't have a daft team selection like last week in the FA cup. Though Spurs aren't mugs and have beaten us a few times over recent years, when you go through the squads, ours is better

3-1 City
Foden

Just making my sandwiches and packing my rucksack to head off to the ground. Got my negative result back (phew) now to get on the crappy coach and sit their bored shirtless for hours.

I love my Wembley days out but this will be an exception. Still I will be cheering on the boys later. Last game I went was last year's final, I just hope Pep doesn't fuck us up with his team selection

Enjoy your day out WW

Is Kevin fit?

It will be a weaker team for sure. I just hope he leaves enough creativity and defensive steel on the pitch to make a difference.

I think he will focus on PSG and play a weakened side .

I’m not expecting a great team line up .

Im expecting a stronger lineup than the Chelsea game. Personally would have played full strength less kev and full tilt again Wednesday

Yes KDB and Sergio fit.

It's going to be a strange one that's for sure, in an ideal world Sergio to be allowed on to score one last time at Wembley for us.

Seems bizarre that last March 80k or so of us were at Wembley weeks before week got locked down.

Wonder what type of team Pep puts out, he’s already said CL is priority, but players like Mendy and Garcia should be nowhere the team, I don’t know what they can bring to a team, looks like Sterling and Jesus, but we will see.

He most definitely should not play a "weakened" team. He should play a strong team and aim to get goals so he can take his aces off for wednesday - as you always should do.

Besides we need a goal in Paris next Wednesday, at least.

Exactly

Play strongest team

Get a lead and take off KDB, Foden, Gundog after an hour

You know it makes sense

Sterling can play.....in the 90th minute.

After Pep said he was prioritising the PSG game, it's left me a little worried about his team selection.

I'm expecting lots of changes but just hoping it's not as bad as the Chelsea game.

I don't understand why we've gone to the effort of reaching the late stages of the domestic cups if we're not going to go all out to win them.

As others have said above, it's better to play a strong line-up and take those players off when we're in a leading position.

COME ON CITY

its a cup final, lets get behind the lads fuck ESL

AND WE OWE THESE FUCKERS FROM 81

Foden, Mr Whippy and Bernard with Serg up top! Young Phil will give his all from the off.

Decent

Decent lineup except Sterling

A very strong team.
