4 days before the next game, no travel, so play our best team, sort the league, we then have 3 weeks to prepare for the biggest game in the clubs history.

Simple enough now.

I hope we play the same line up we did vs Palace, but I’d especially want us to do this if they have made it to the UCL final - I don’t want them and their coach getting 90 mins practice time against our Istanbul line up.

Whys that play strongest team and put it to bed i say!

If Madrid get through tomorrow I couldn’t care less and would agree!

6 days ...

I think most players can handle a four day turnaround, but then again that game probably took a lot out of us.

I'd go with a slightly lighter rotation of KDB, Dinho, one of Foden or Mahrez, one CB, and one fullback.

So:

Ederson
Zinchenko
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
Gundogan
Bernardo
Foden
Jesus
Aguero

He means between now and Chelsea (4) rather than Chelsea and Newcastle (6)

I've voted 'lose' but only because I thought we'd lose since the qtr finals and we keep winning.... Call me superstitious but I'll stick with my tactic!

Eh, we play them Saturday, its now down to 3 ;-)

6 days after that till the next game, but I'm hoping I couldn't care less about that one, although beating newcastle and bruce is always nice.

Ah yes, of course ...

Important to delay Chelsea claiming top 4 as long as possible plus they have the FA Cup too.
