Think if Ferna is going to have an impact in a high profile game this season it could be this one. He's the master of the dark arts and can play Atleti at their own game. These were awful against United and I don't see any jeopardy from them at all.

Ederson
Walker Stones Laporte Ake
Fernandinho
Gundogan KDB
Marez Grealish Foden
 
Daniel Siebert chosen as the referee. Weak referee, not the best to control a game against time wasting, cheating and faking. No history with us. Was the referee for Atletico 2-3 Liverpool this season that gave Griezmann a red card. They know him well and we don’t.

Marco Fritz, the VAR referee, is the same one from United 0-1 Atletico in the round of 16. Another one they know well
 
Ederson
Walker, Stones, Ake, Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo, Gundogan(/Foden)
Mahrez, De Bruyne, Grealish

Siebert was fourth official in our game against Real Madrid at the Etihad, I believe, but you’re right in that he has much more experience with them.

No surprise you're also an expat for German refs ;)

I can only tell you that dippers wouldn't have finished the match with 11 men on the pitch with Siebert on duty yesterday and Raz would have been on the score board with Marco Fritz as VAR.

Also, it's not a ref's job to "control a match" but to care for the rules in place, unbiased. We will be in good hands is what I believe.
 
It's natural to think about the game on Saturday, but the CL is much more important than the FA Cup, Pep won't take risks with the starting XI.

Gundogan and Mahrez are bound to start, perhaps Grealish, too, but he should be very careful. Clearly, Atletico's players were instructed to wind him up.

Fortunately, we can use 5 subs in both competitions, this will help us to play 3 games over 6 days at a high level. Hopefully, we will decide the tie over 90 minutes.
