Alvarez and Haaland show today

C’mon you blue boys

Big game, these are no mugs at home. Should be a great game though, lets crank up the pressure on red scouse

“oil classico”

First big test today. Quietly confident
2-0 Mahrez

Mahrez deserves to be “rotated” after last week. He was nonexistent.
Grealish left and I’d whack Alverez right with Haaland up top.

Surely the ‘Sports Washing Derby’?

Ain’t got a clue of what to expect from Newcastle. We, and Pep, have done exceptionally well against the club, and their manager, but with the influx of players and good cheer, this could be a completely different game to what I’m expecting.

You wouldn’t bet against us but the 9 goals we scored against them in the previous 2 away games may not be seen this time.

Mahrez takes his time to settle into the season, he's a slow starter.
Definitely would like to see Alvarez start wide.
Not sure what to expect from Newcastle so I think Pep will revert to type and keep a very similar starting line up to last week.

XI | Ederson, Walker, Stones, Ake, Cancelo, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan (C), Bernardo, Haaland, Foden

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Dias, Phillips, Alvarez, Gomez, Mahrez, Mbete, Palmer, Lewis

Ake and Stones?

Other than that, crack on boys

Come on lads, get it done

2-0 Bernado

Very pleased to see Bernardo starting.

What has Dias done wrong ? Pumping the wrong Model ?

Grealish not even in matchday squad. Is he injured?

He has looked rusty since coming back from injury to be fair. Probably the right time to give him a rest and we can then see if Stones is still a piss head or not.
