Think it will be a reasonable crowd.

It will be around 50K but not full. See the Seat Counters thread for live updates.

I'm looking forward to tonight. Whilst I would have preferred a straight knockout, money is the game. But it does bring a slightly more complex approach to things, and a tough game to start things up brings added jeopardy. We don't want four extra games so top 8 is a must and winning your home games is essential really. A proper challenge and a good warm up for Arsenal who will try to play a similar way albeit with a back 4.

I'd be amazed if KDB players. He will be saved for Sunday I'm sure.

imo he starts but then if we can get ahead foden or kovacic come on and some players get rotated? Or Pep even puts Jack central as he said himself yesterday Jack can play there?

I don't think experimenting with Jack in centrally is a good idea against a very good Italian team, better trying him in midfield against Watford.

Disneyland nights are back.

Tbf if they do a live version of Nightmare by Brainbug set to some lasers that could be a very good show

Disneyland nights are back.

I know somebody who is part of this. Was talking to him this morning.

It’s a 10 minute set starting 7.50 with Blue Moon, a ‘Viking tune’ and a few others culminating in the CL anthem.

Should be good.

I think that Pep's priority here is Arsenal. I don't think KDB can play 3 games in 7 days any more. Also, Phil needs a start so I think that's a given in a central role. He then might play Kovatic for the rason that he won't play against Arsenal. Gundo will.

Off topic!

I have finally made it to Manchester for the first time ever. I am currently at the Piccadilly Center (I think that's what its called).

I have a ticket for tonight's match and I am very much looking forward to it.

I was wondering if there are things to do prior to the game as I have around 6 hours to go until kick off. Do people usually head down in some sort of groups? Are there gatherings anywhere.

Thanks in advance and looking forward to meeting everyone at the game tonight!
