Ederson: The Brazilian will keep his spot, it’s too early for any Pep UCL team tinkering.

Cancelo: Unless Walker returns, I expect Cancelo to take his natural place on the right. His performance on the right against Sevilla was brilliant, with two assists and at least 10 skied shots.

Stones: Unless there are any unexpected injuries, Stones will start.

Dias: The Portuguese got himself on the score sheet with his first Champions League goal last week and he will be keen to be involved in aiming for another clean sheet.

Gomez: Gomez had an excellent game against Sevilla and a typical Pep fullback. We could however, see Pep go with a more solid defence with Ake on the left.
