Live on BT Sport in the UK. Kick off time 20:00 (BST).

Pretty much the perfect preparation for this one with that Watford match. Real Madrid had a rest this weekend, so good for us that Watford barely stretched us.

Real Madrid are 1 game away from being Spanish champions and they're in the semi-final of the Champions League but I don't think they're that good. I honestly think Chelsea would have been a harder matchup. Put our strongest team out and we should overrun them, especially in midfield.

It would be nice to go to the Bernabau with a lead.

It would be great if Walker and Stones were available, otherwise the defence could be fairly makeshift.

Absentees v Watford
Kyle Walker
John Stones

Suspended
João Cancelo
 
Feeling confident of this one.

Ederson
Cancelo Dias Laporte Ake
Rodri
KDB Bernardo
Mahrez Jesus Foden

Edit: Cancelo is suspended. No idea who can play RB

Stones sounds like he was rested today to play Tuesday.

Walker touch and go.

I think Stones deffo plays either at CH or RB depending on Walker
 
Ederson
Walker(stones if walkers injured)
Dias
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
Bernardo
Kdb
Foden
Jesus
Mahrez.

Only question is who's fit enough for right back, I would usually have gundogan in but I think he's been off it lately and will sit this out. Upfront foden and jesus are surely certainties, mahrez or sterling is the only real debate, mahrez form has dipped but he's having too good of a season to not have him in the side, foden left, mahrez right jesus upfront. Go at them hard, need a strong victory to take over there we saw how vulnerable a narrow lead can be last round and real Madrid are much better than atletico. They pose a strong threat upfront but their midfield is ancient, if we make it a high intensity game they'll crumble second half through tiredness. If we make it a slow ponderous game that gives them much more of a shot. I'm confident. 4-1
 
Big moment for us coming up. I hope we turn up and var does not intervene.

Cancelo out is a loss but his form has dropped.

Walker probably unavailable.

Ake & Stones maybe to come in. Try to keep it tight and win by 1. Madrid can seemingly score at ease but look fragile at the back.

Can’t call it tbh.
 
We really need to put them to the sword at the Etihad and then just manage the game at the Bernabeu. We can do this!!!
