Could be!
I’m going for a bold-prediction, new-look team for our visit to the Ukraine on Wednesday night...a game that will finish local time around 11:35pm!
v Shakhtar Donetsk
Metalist Oblast Sports Complex |
Fluid
4-6-0:

Notable absences: Vincent Kompany (not selected / rested / protected), John Stones (injured
for about another 3-½ weeks), Benjamin Mendy (continues his rehab following
injury/surgery), Kevin De Bruyne (suspended for this game) & Sergio Aguero (not selected / rested).
Well this might be a little bit of a “fun” suggestion from me…but if I was
Pep I’d certainly consider it for our meaningless game.
Result? Of
course, the home side are going to really go for it to secure 2nd
place in the qualifying group and with a win for Napoli over
bottom side Feyenoord likely, they will need to avoid
defeat. With us playing a virtual ‘2nd 11’, if I’m right of course,
this’ll be a toughie.
But do you know what, looking at that side it
really is quite decent! Tough to break down, I’d say, with PLENTY of players
that can hurt ‘the oppo’.
If I am right with my predicted starting 11;
all things considered I think it’ll be a draw. And If I am right with my predicted
starting 11, we’ll have a fresh-legged, ‘first 11’ and strong bench going into
the Trafford v Manchester derby…
Expected weather conditions during
the game: An Easterly breeze with temperatures of around 0 to 1C that’ll bring light sleet & snow throughout the game.
