Attackers:

Sergio Aguero is out, so Gabby Jesus is the name we’d instantly put in the lineup. However, I do think that Pep may spring a surprise and play with a false nine, leaving Gabby on the bench. Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva could really rotate and test the Spurs back line.

Bernardo in particular has impressed me recently and I think his close ball control could certainly cause Tottenham some issues. Raheem and Leroy have pace to burn, with Raheem showing his strength against van Dijk midweek.

Agree? Disagree? Let me know how you think we should line up.
