Hope Palmer plays. Always makes the game more interesting when you’ve got one or two young players starting.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Double barrelled names do my small brain in! Have they both travelled?

Yeah. Same, gonna have to agree some nicknames for these two.

We are mate, cos my brain is getting no bigger!

Wilson is out of contract end of this season, with no contract off yet, so might save you some space.

 

[shemnel]

ive got an absolutely minging cold so the early kick off suits me nicely, straight back to bed at full time :)

@Otamendi's Beard lineup looks about right to me

Remember this is 5.45pm

I can confirm that all 4 names have travelled.
I blame Ian Storey Moore for this

Looking forward to a game I can just relax and enjoy and hopefully see a few of the kids

I agree, it’s a great position to be in. Still want to batter them though to continue our winning streak and the apparent 2.5m we get for a win.

This match is a free hit.

Give our kids some european experience tonight. Save our big boys for the weekend.

And martin ****-buchan, george twat-best and roy shagfucker-keane

Peter Rhodes-Brown, shirley? Or Eric Djemba Djemba?

 

[Oldham Exile]

I think it'll be close to this:

Steffen

Walker
Stones
Ake
Zinchenko

Fernandinho
De Bruyne
Foden

Grealish
Mahrez
Palmer

Though he might still start Sterling over Palmer as he's playing into form at the minute.

I think that you are probably close as any fan could be with that.

The words Pep used when confirming that KDB would start for me suggested that the youngsters will come on from the bench - so perhaps Sterling to start and 5 subs in the 2nd half if all is going well

 

[CWMCFC]

Would like to see both Palmer and McAtee getting a start, but I expect only the former will with the other coming off the bench.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Wilson-Esbrand = Left Back
Egan-Riley = Right Back

wrong.
Ones a left back and the other was a famous food critic who wrote books about Restaurants

 

[hertsblue]

Complete second team for this, no point whatsoever risking anyone in the regular starting 11 for a meaningless game .. We have no reason whatsoever to do Brugge a favour to the detriment of our players and PL campaign ..

This.
Group won, only play reserves and who need game time for fitness.
Sorry if it sounds harsh but sod Bruge, i doubt they would consider us if the roles were reversed. And the CL has little integrity anyhow so no one can throw that as us if we play a B team

 

[domalino]

Sometimes in these games we end up putting out a really weak starting XI with 2 or 3 kids and don't get on top of the game, so no one comes off the bench.

I'd almost prefer a strong starting XI with only 1 EDS player and bring 5 more kids on to replace the big guns when we're 3-0 up.

The same Brugge whose fans were abusing our players and who beat one of our fans into a coma. We owe those cunts NOTHING

Just play kids and anyone in need of a game for match fitness

I guarantee that we will never be 3-0 up. Leipzig desperately need to win this game and will be highly motivated in the tackle.
