Konate getting a start, otherwise as expected. Going with Diaz instead of Jota to get at their back four more than we did in the league game.
Man City XI | Steffen, Cancelo, Stones, Ake, Zinchenko, Fernandinho (C), Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, Jesus, Sterling SUBS | Ederson, Dias, Gundogan, Laporte, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Delap, Lavia
City have no Walker and Steffen is in goal. De Bruyne is on the bench. Fernandino starts so expect a lot of fouls and no cards until one of our players retaliates. Grealish is starting with Dias on the bench
Yeah the kdb bullshit was just that. Pep was alway rotating here as league is most important. Ake and steffen by far weakest players
Nothing against Matip as he's really underrated outside Liverpool, but I think Konate is the better choice today.
I'm unsure he does have a habit of chasing terrier like after a player, however he is quick enough to get back in. He looks more disciplined as time goes on mind you.
I think we have put out our best side, City have not. Maybe Pep thinks they are good enough, we will see
