Leipzig are no minors. And in a good period. Some impressive players that should give credit to their scouting team.

Over two legs I think we should be able to come out on top but we really need full concentration to skip a surprise defeat that could haunt us in the next game.

Don't see Gomez touching the pitch unless something goes seriously wrong. Lewis could start, but I think that would be a bit of a daft decision. Thrusting an 18-year-old into a game like this would be pretty ill-advised, as talented as Lewis is. We have a fit back four: Akanji, Dias, Ake, Walker. Not the back four I would have liked, but a back four nonetheless.

I see the problem of playing that back 4 is if we lose a cb tonight we have no replacement unless rodri or Phillips play there.

This is the line-up I think we’ll see

I tend to agree even though we have conceded goals in most games or a goal we are hardly conceding many chances. Think it will be a controlled performance with plenty of keep ball don't give them many chances to counter. If we have to come away with a narrow win or level we can take our chance 2nd leg.
 
My concern is that we seem to create fuck all when KDB is not playing. Everyone else seems to play it safe, preferred to retain possession rather than try to play a fast through ball.

The exceptions being Foden, who can do it but is so out of form, and others who do try but who lack the ability.

So I think it will be a tight game with Haaland feeding off few scraps, but ultimately I think we'll win 2-1.
 
Gutted Kev not playing but I’m interested how we do without him tonight. I feel Kev wins us most games but he also creates a few issues with his free role.

Hope somebody has been practicing crossing to Erling in training
 
I think he will go strong and then look to make changes in the last half hour. We have to learn to play without Kev.
 
If no kev i would want foden to be the risk taker in the 8 position. Wont happen
Think it’ll be bernardo into midfield and a secure back 4.

Foden Mahrez and Gealish can make the chances

It's a CL knockout game. We have to play the best lineup we can, in the same way we have to start Haaland or Rodri. If they get injured, it's a shitty deal, but they had to play.

Either way, Laporte was only ill rather than injured. He should be back on the weekend.
 
I've gone for a draw in the hope that I've jinxed the result and we end up beating 'em. They are gonna be like fuckin' greyhounds out of a trap and our defending will have to be top draw. I just hope that we don't have a game with twenty odd shots and one on target - that the goalie saves.
