Hopefully Pellegrini goes with the formation that was successful away at Sevilla

With our injury list I can only see 3 decisions to make on personnel

Hart

Sagna - Otamendi - Demichelis - Kolarov/Clichy

Fernando/Delph

Fernandinho - Toure

Navas - Aguero - Sterling/KDB
 
Would like to see a solid team selection , containing Juve like we did with the Rags , HART + CLICHY , MDM , OTTO , KOLAROV + NAVAS , DINHO , DELPH , FERNANDO , KDB + AGUERO leave Sterling on the bench he has played a lot of games recently , Toure is a liability at the moment and top teams just pass the ball around him , Sagna / Mangala need to get their heads right , with the six players injured , the team is virtually picking itself at the moment , we will probably have 3 or 4 youngsters on the bench , the squad is at breaking point. A boring Manciniesque 1-0 win will do nicely , what we do not want is another 3 or 4 goal hammering , the media will drown in their own jizz if that happens
 
Silva is by far our most influential player giving space and time which aids others .however as much as i would have loved to have had him available tonight ,he doesnt now need to be risked. Worryingly this injury is similar to the one he received two years ago it proved to be a constant niggle throughout

I am hoping to see the 4-1-4-1 that saw us be successful against Sevilla, plus it also saw us get two 0-0 draws against United and Villa away so it's proven to leave us far more defensively stable.

Juve have to win because if Sevilla beat Gladbach and we beat Juve it becomes a fight for qualification between Sevilla and Gladbach in the final round, at Sevilla as well, Juve won't want that.

I just hope we don't go too attacking leaving us far too exposed, a draw is a good result for us.

433 against Sevilla no?
 
I think there's every chance that Yaya will be played because, supposedly, he's a man for the big occasion. And also, leaving him out for a game this big would be a pretty clear sign along the lines of "You're on your way out — it'll be gradual, but it'll happen". You never know, Yaya may surprise us. He's done it before. I can't work him out, I admit it. When he looks interested, he can boss a game on his own. On the other hand, when he can't give a toss, you get last Saturday (not all down to him, I know, far from it…)
Whatever, doing anything else than picking the two Ferns alongside him would be downright suicide. I hope everyone's agreed about that.
I'm uneasy about Demichelis and Otamendi playing together. How many times have we had that pairing this season? Never? Well, we've got no choice, given the injuries. Our front row still looks bloody good, the performance against the dippers notwithstanding. Whether it's KDB, Sergio, Sterling, or KDB, Sergio, Navas, we can hurt them.
A draw would do me just fine. Thing is, though, we don't really do draws. I think it's win or bust, tonight.
