I hope we get to see at least one of Tosin, Diaz and Foden starting.
I do however think playing too many at once in a team that is made up of fringe squad players can be counter-productive. I'd rather see a kid play in a settled side that has familiarity as I think they're looked after better in that type of set up and the pressure to perform isn't as great.

Bravo
Danilo, Walker, Mangala, Kompany
Sterling ,Sane, Gundo, Kevin
Jesus, Diaz
Not really sure about Diaz starting but I think Pep needs to show real belief in him with the news that Madrid are circling ever closer. Foden,Delph,Tosin, Duhaney, Muric, Kun on the bench

They play against Arsenal away on the weekend - a team that I think anyone could be confident to pick up points from at the moment, and their first game in the LC was away to Accrington Stanley, so there's an argument that they might have used the first game as a fitness exercise, like ours with Girona. I think it's too hard to predict what kind of line-up they'll field.
