Is the LB we’ve loaned them allowed to play against us?

Is Mendy out already?

He’s at home. I wonder if he’ll be watching.

Pedro Porro is the character we have on loan at Sporting. Real supposed to be interested in him, he’s had rave reviews.

Any old win will do. Preferably with a clean sheet. A good win tonight brings less pressure for the return leg and the PL fixtures sandwiching it

TEAM NEWS IS IN!

XI | Ederson, Stones, Dias (C), Laporte, Cancelo, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Mahrez, Foden, Sterling

SUBS | Carson, Slicker, Ake, Gundogan, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Kayky, Delap, Mbete, McAtee, Lavia

[PeterParker]

Decent lineup, but I hate the experiment with Stones as a right back.

[Mase]

Great lineup. I wonder if Gundo has a knock?

[Mase]

6 kids on the bench as well (assuming this Slicker character is a kid). I wonder if any of the “City have a massive squad” dick heads will notice?

Me too actually although he did ok last game. I think id rather zinchenko and cancelo as full backs

Big problems before kick of for the commentators, they can't use the "most expensive bench" argument.
Half of their agenda out the window, now they have to actually prepare before the match.

Horrible day, I hope they will be ok.

Have they mentioned we’ve not won the CL yet? Empty seats? Grealish the most expensive human in the world? Pep is a fraud? City bingo

Just the choice between Gundo & Foden really - I think it's a chance for Phil to shine tonight. Pepe is a walking red card - t make sure Cancelo doesn't get booked and miss the return - they'll be after him getting carded from the off.

Rags now officially have our most expensive bench title

Nice one mate. We must have some decent keepers coming through. The kid at Bolton on loan and the Rep of Ireland international on loan at Pompey
