I think since all our senior centre backs seem to be out for this one (Denayer, Mangala on holiday after Euros, Kompany injured, Otamendi recovering from Copa America) we'll be playing two of Adarabioyo, Humphreys-Grant, and Facey, so I think it's vital to have Zaba and Clichy on either side with Fernando and either Fernandinho or Delph in front to give them as much cover as possible from the Bayern attackers. We want as much youth as possible but if the two young CBs have a bad game it could knock their confidence. Our attack is where we can really utilise the youth with Iheanacho, Manu Garcia, Brahim, Celina, Ambrose etc. A few people will see the word Bayern and assume we're in for a very tough game but most of their best players were at the Euros and they'll likely be playing youth too. Here's what I'd go with:

First Half
Caballero
Maffeo
Adarabioyo
Facey
Clichy
Fernando
Delph
Navas
M. García
Barker
Iheanacho

Second Half
Gunn
Zabaleta
Humphreys-Grant
Fernandinho
Angelino
A. Garcia
Zuculini
Celina
Touré
Nasri
Bony

Bayern played with Felix Götze (Mario Götze's 18-year-old brother) in defense yesterday against Lippstadt and fielded him with Benko and Green in the first half together with Ullreich, Bernat, Rafinha, Lahm, Alonso, Martinez, Robben and Ribery - and mostly U18-players in the second half. They led 4:0 until they substituted most of the team - and it was 4-3 at the end. Bayern just started preparation on Monday.

Alaba started training Thursday but missed that trainings match as did Badstuber who takes it slow - they might add to the team Wednesday - but Robben is out injured for atleast the next six week - Costa is out injured, too.

Bayern gave Lewy, Boateng, Neuer, Müller, Hummels, Kimmich, Coman and Sanches holiday until August 5th (instead of letting them fly in for promotion to the US tour Bayern decided to lengthen their holidays) - so only Thiago will add to that team in the next days.
 
What is the actual kick off time?

Our site has the k/o @ 20.30CET.

Ive gone on three different websites which have told me that CET runs the same as GMT, CET is 1 hr ahead and the other says that it is 2hrs behind GMT.

What the fuck?! I get that we are appealing to people from other nations nowadays but as an English football club can we not at least post what time kick off is in England?
