Kalvin Phillips

The English international has travelled to Catalonia and has trained so his appearance will benefit his recovery to match fitness. Missed the last few games due to niggles.

Bernardo Silva

Started against Newcastle for the first time this season and will be looking to put the sword to the team who courted him throughout the summer. Now confirmed to stay for the season with the Portuguese playmaker going to input his magic at Spotify Camp Nou for the Blues.

Cole Palmer

Nominated for the 2022 golden boy award and there are high hopes for the academy starlet. We must have patience though but we could see a star born this evening, which will guarantee more minutes from Pep.
