Awaiting confirmation from Peps pre match interview this afternoon, but right now it seems Laporte and Aguero are still doubtful for tomorrow’s game - a real shame because I would have started Laporte myself, think he has a bit more of a physical presence to deal with Haaland even though Stones and Dias are the in form combo.
With that in mind the only real question mark in the back 5 is Walker or Cancelo. Neither were spectacular in the first leg, so I’d be tempted by Cancelo myself on his more natural side.
Further up I was hoping to see Fernandinho in DM, but given he started against Leeds expect him to be benched, meaning it’ll probably be Rodri and Gundogan screening the back four. The only ones to ponder up top are Jesus and Mahrez. Jesus really has to start delivering in games like this or his career with City will always be in the balance, I’d start him, but only on the basis that playing a false 9 didn’t work against them last week for me. If we do play without a striker, would prefer Kev in that role to Phil or Bernardo.
Mahrez was great in March, but his form has trailed off at the business end of the season. I go for Bernardo, he does more jobs off the ball, and we will need to harry them in possession tomorrow to get that all important first goal.
Tbh the main thing I’m hoping for is that Guardiola doesn’t overly tinker 🤞 come on city 🕺

Great job. Mahrez showed some with that pen and what a strike from Phil. Even able to relax for the last 10 minutes of the game, that makes a pleasant change.
