We're rotating mate. Simple as that. The club will always see the league and aim for CL football much more important than a competition that awards you a hotdog and a handshake.

I imagine we'll look like this:

Vicario
Gray - Dragusin - Van de Ven - Udogie
Kulusevski - Bentancur - Sarr
Johnson - Solanke - Werner
Or something similar tbh. Maybe Maddison for Kulusevski
Werner aside, that’s not a bad line up and I wouldn’t be despondent.

Drag and Davies as a combo are poor, Forster is generally poor, Werner is the modern Gabby Agbonlahor and Bergvall I think will come good but just doesn’t excel at anything currently
 
Damn, you people changed your clocks already!??!! I’m sitting here re-arranging my schedule for 3 p.m. and now it’s all screwed up because we don’t change until next week and this is really a 4 kick off.

Stupid clocks.

Mostly agree but would play Radu and have VDV at LB and bench Udogie

Is that your preferred line up or what you think Ange will do?

Outside of Porro and Romero that's arguably our strongest XI right now. Would take that all day long.

The line ups are huge tonight! We will obviously be rotating but the question is will it be 4 or 5 changes or will it be more! I think Vicario, one of VDV/Romero and Kulusevski are the 3 big ones really. We can rotate the others without weakening the team too much. Then we need to hope City do rotate loads and leave out their key players like Haaland, Bernardo Silva and Gvardiol.
 
Watched the gaffers presser.

Cutting through all the shite, he is obviously going to play a weakened team tonight. He was asked about this being the most important game of the week for our fans and dismissed it, rudely as usual.

The usual shit. This club doesn't care about trophies, he has his orders about trying to get top 4 for the £££

Does our weakened team beat City's weakened team? highly unlikely
