Kick off time 20:00 (GMT).

Based on most simulations, 9 points should be enough to qualify, so we're pretty much there with that.

I think all of our eggs have to go in the CL and FA Cup and just hope we stay competitive enough in the league.

PSG (A) and Club Brugge (H) after this.

If we want top 8 we'll have to win all 3 games. I'd just take qualification and hope we get lucky with a decent playoff round tie.

United on Sunday but we have a full week after that, so full strength in both. Hopefully Akanji and Ake are fit.

not so sure mate, watching them at home to Bologna and just gone 1 down, not sure if this is their 1st choice team, but just sat in their own half & looking to counter and been pretty poor so far tbh, although I reckon our high backline will suit them

Fingers crossed, I know they are not what they used to be, then again neither are we at present

I know,just hope we turn up , need to watch their no7 Conceicao, he is small. quick & clearly has a problem with gravity as he keeps falling over/ diving
 
this a big worry. imo these are stronger than the average Fulham, Brighton, Bournemouth, Palace etc.
and even these gave lots of headache to Pep tactically.

but not beating Sporting and Feyenoord make us need to win this game and the PSG game if we still wanna do top8 and avoid the dreaded extra two games maybe bringing us more injuries and tiredness vs some decent club if th draw does not favour us, in February where the PL fixture already seems brutal hard for us with only top6 opponents almost.

Pep needs to analyze our recent games and make sure Juventus cannot punish us the same way as we have been punished week in week in week out in last 2 months.
 
So who's going to get injured in this game ? who is going to feel unwell a day before the game ?
 
Can't see past a defeat.
We just don't have the bodies currently.
There's a temptation to rest who is fit, beat Club Brugge, and settle for a play-off when hopefully we'll be in a better position
 
Got 0-0 written all over this.

Juve have won just 2 of their last 8, 6 draws in that run, drawn 11 games this season, drew at home just now.
City have won just 1 of our last 8, worst form for years.
