Bruno gets his 2nd goal of the night now too.

I have to get him in now on my WC if PL announce these bloody DGW's.

Man United won 4-0: Fernandes (James), Rashford (Fred), James (Bailly) ... Fernandes and Rashford got 82 minutes and 68 minutes respectively.

Spurs won 4-1: Vinicius (Lamela) ... Son was taken off at half-time.

Leicester were held to a scoreless draw. Vardy got 63 minutes, Maddison played 75 minutes and Barnes played the full game.

Maddison went off after taking a bang. Don’t think it was anything serious though.

A more interesting development is that Iheanacho got himself suspended for the 2nd leg after coming on, meaning Vardy might need to play that one aswell.

Arsenal drew 1-1: Saka (Cedric)

Giroud goal to put Chelsea 1-0 up. A class bicycle kick from the Frenchman.

EDIT: And that's how it finishes.

20 minutes gone, Spurs 1-0 up: Alli (Doherty)

Son and Kane resting on bench.

Perfect.

Spurs won 4-0 and 8-1 on aggregate: Vinicius (Alli), Bale (Alli), Vinicius (Scarlett)

Son and Kane nicely rested on the bench.

Man City won 2-0: Silva (Cancelo), Jesus (Silva)

Gundo played the full 90, Sterling got a rest for the last 20 minutes with Foden coming off on 80 minutes. KDB and Stones didn't come on.

How Soon Is Now

What does that mean for Gundogan I wonder?

Or is he fresher cause of missing the game injured along with Dias who was out to.

It means I'm going to get in KDB on my WC and shift out Gundogan. He won't play both games...

That's my feeling as of now, 10.27pm on Wednesday. It could easily change.....

Chances are neither of them start both games though. You’re hoping for 3 out of 4 over the next two game weeks I reckon. And no one can double guess Pep roulette!

No one has a clue what Pep will do he has cover for every position and huge cushion for 1st place.

I think getting it right for DGW 27 could be actually bigger. That Saints game is the one where a player could run riot.

Just don't like seeing Gundogan get 90 mins tonight and KDB none. Could double up on them and save the hassle too.

But you got to love the sheer buzz of taking a punt on Pep roulette!

I'd say Gundo and Cancelo are nailed on to be rested for one game

Ace2007

I love the words rested, these lads are at the top of their game in terms of fitness, and don't play half as many games as people seem to think.
Gundogan is 9th in terms of total mins played since GW17, he missed the Everton game, and yet your talking about him needed to be rested.

I predict that Gundogan will start the next 4 games in the league as Pep now views him like KdB and will just play him if he's fit. Ederson will also most likely start every game. After that who knows.

I hope you're right and in theory, that's how it should work but no one knows especially as he keeps mentioning he will make changes.

Was sitting there to myself like, oh Bruno is never rested, let’s look up the stats on that, oh rested once, before he played....

Yeah it's enough doubt for me to go Kane (c) now.
