Must still be trying to stitch his leg back on.

I am not sure that is the case. Liverpool are in a similar situation to us and apparently their second leg is likely to be abroad:

"The second leg was scheduled to be played at Anfield but Leipzig won't be able to travel to Merseyside as things stand because German government rules state they would have to quarantine for 10 days on their return."

You would imagine the same arrangement will apply to our second home leg, unless government Covid rules change?

Liverpool vs RB Leipzig second leg could be in one of eight cities

Thanks for the clarification - didn't know about the 10-day quarantine.
On reflection it is only fair that we play both legs on neutral grounds.

Such a shame that this bastard of a pandemic is happening as I’d love to get back to Germany for this one. Love the area and had some great conversations with their fans before the last encounter in town prior to the game. Even met up with some City fans (friends) I’d not seen for a while.

‘Times like these that you realise how much you miss being at the games.

I could watch that training vid all day long, the team spirit and individual confidence is a joy to behold.

I would be amazed if he doesn't start Cancelo.

I figured Walker given his pace against a counterattacking team and the fact Cancelo was needed on Sunday.

I suspect Cancelo will play on Wednesday and Walker will be kicking the living shite out of the Warrington window licker on Saturday

I think this lot have been waiting for this game for a few weeks now. Dangerous team to play when the players are all in the shop window and the manager has already declared himself out. Zakira and neuhaus both going to be playing for moves. Possibly both vying for Peps eye sp it will be no easy twist. I'd not be surprised if it's a draw. Scoreless. They defend well when they are on form


Futile second guessing Pep but I think he has had this one pencilled in for Kun for a while now. I hope so and I hope he surrounds him with lively legs to help out.

Ederson

Cancelo
Stones
Dias
Laporte

Rodhri
Gundo
Bernardo

Foden/Sterling
Kun
Jesus

Best team for this one, with Foden and Sterling in the wings, Gundo and Rodri with Kevin. Jesus in the striker poition. if score permits then rest whoever needs it.
