Kick off time 20:00 (GMT).

Based on most simulations, 9 points should be enough to qualify, so we're pretty much there with that.

I think all of our eggs have to go in the CL and FA Cup and just hope we stay competitive enough in the league.

PSG (A) and Club Brugge (H) after this.

If we want top 8 we'll have to win all 3 games. I'd just take qualification and hope we get lucky with a decent playoff round tie.

United on Sunday but we have a full week after that, so full strength in both. Hopefully Akanji and Ake are fit.

Akanji maybe fit but not Ake. Think Pep said a few weeks.

Too early to worry about the league. Even after the worst injury crisis under Pep we still are 2 pts off 2nd (unless Chelsea beat Spurs).

its not the pts score we should be looking at however at this stage - its the performances.....even some of the wins we got early on to amass the points we have at the moment, the performances were pretty poor.....if our level of performance continues, we will struggle to get top 4

Unbelievably, we're 9/10 on favourites for this and Juve 3-1. I really can't believe these odds considering our run and injuries. Crazy.

Juventus have been very off/on in their own league (they're actually lower than us). Both in the league and in the CL, they're good at draws, but having hell's delight winning. They just this weekend drew at home to Bologna (who in the CL have managed one point, and who are eighth in their league).
If Aké and Akanji were back in (they won't both be) I'd have us marginal favourites. Perhaps not those odds, I admit.
 
Christ, why are people still putting Lewis at RB. He’s an attacking mid, put him at 8.

____________Ederson________
Akanji___Pussey___Dias___Gvardiol
____________Gundo__________
________Lewis_____Jack_____
Nunes_______Haalnd______Doku

Rest KDB for utd and get Gundo off after 60 mins

If our injury crisis continues, we may struggle indeed, but it's a big if. Also, we can sign a player or two in January.

Our rivals for top 4 aren't playing better than us. I doubt Brighton or Villa have played recently as well as we did vs Forest.

Throwing the CL away because we *might* struggle to make the top 4 is not something we are going to do anyway. If Dortmund could reach the CL final, we might be able to reach it next year too. Even without Rodri we have a better team than Dortmund, provided the other players are available. And who knows, they may be available.

Guessing it's because they can't be posted out in time

“All tickets for this fixture will be issued as print@home. Tickets will be sent to the lead purchaser approximately 5 days prior to the fixture.”

Wonder if it’s because we’ve sold a certain number of “blocks” and would have to purchase all the tickets for the next block and ticket sales have all but dried up and they’d have hundreds of empty seats that they’d have to pay for.

Wonder too if the day trip is definitely going as it was subject to sufficient numbers - anyone had confirmation?
