Live on Sky Sports for those in the UK. Kick off time 17:30 (BST).

The tough matches just keep coming, this is one of the harder matches we've got left just because you know their crowd is going to be well up for it. We've got to try and silence them early, get some early goals and take the jeopardy away from the game.

It would be nice to get it won early so we can rest for Real Madrid, who have pretty much won the league and will rest everyone at the weekend.

We have to get this one won though, can't be thinking about future matches, 3 points is all that matters.

Liverpool kick off against Newcastle (A) at 12:30 (BST), so we'll either get a huge boost going into this or we'll go into this in 2nd place.

Absentees v Real Madrid:
Kyle Walker
John Stones (went off injured)

Not sure how Marsch has them playing, but the new manager syndrome has hopefully worn off. Will be a difficult match but one we should be winning. Having already played Leipzig this year hopefully there's some tactical familiarity that will help inform our approach.
 
Think he might swap out Laporte, Bernie, Foden, Mahrez but it’s anyone’s guess.

Ederson
Cancelo
Dias
Ake
Zinchenko
Rodri
KDB
Gundogan
Sterling
Grealish
Jesus
 
Glad the players have the extra day to prepare for this game. Going to be very difficult as no doubt the players will be thinking about the Madrid game.

Hoping Liverpool drop points at Newcastle and we can open up a bit of a gap at the top of the table.
 
I think Pep may go with Fern and Rodders in the middle as he did vs Watford
Have to say, watching Palace vs Leeds last night, Leeds are dreadful
Let's get the game won in the first 45 and then rest up

...................Eddie
Cancelo...Dias..Ake...Zinchenko
...........Rodders...Fern
Sterling....Gundogan...Grealish
.................Jesus
 
Liverpool will be 2 points clear on top when we start this game, we better start fast and score early or this Leeds will grow into their defending. unbeaten on last 5 too they do fight hard for staying up.

fucking Real can rotate all they want as they need 1 point only vs Espanyol to clinch the title or Barca not winning theirs. doubt they worried tho with 15 points clear on top.

I wouldn’t write Newcastle off yet, they are on a decent run and considering the short turn around time Saturday will not be an easy game for the Dippers.
 
Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
Foden
Grealish
 
In all seriousness I’m just hoping that Pep mistakenly views Leeds as fodder like Watford and Sterling and Grealish fluff their lines and we score a suckerpunch. Won’t happen but I can dream.

Comfortable dippers win. I think we will scrape it but after a scare or two.

In my opinion, playing an in form Newcastle away at 12:30 Saturday after a Wednesday night semi is much harder than our game

I think this is the day they could drop points.. we just need to capitalise
 
Think we might be physically and mentally f*cked for this one. Hate to say it, but after tonight, and the 2nd leg of the CL to come next week, looks like it's going to be a squad team against Leeds, which doesn't bode well against a Leeds team and a partizan home crowd fighting for PL safety. Draw. :-(
