Rodri so good you name him twice ;)

And that was my third edit!

Favourites with the bookies to win the whole thing. Interesting

 

[balotellishaircut]

Ederson
Walker Dias Akanji Ake
Rodri
Bernardo Foden Grealish
Alvarez
Haaland

I would definitely go with this team, a quick midfield with everyone chipping in defensively

Leipzig are no minors. And in a good period. Some impressive players that should give credit to their scouting team.

Over two legs I think we should be able to come out on top but we really need full concentration to skip a surprise defeat that could haunt us in the next game.

Ederson
Walker Dias Akanji Ake
Rodri
Bernardo Foden Grealish
Alvarez
Haaland

When all fit,Stones for Akanji and that may be our best team.

Don't see Gomez touching the pitch unless something goes seriously wrong. Lewis could start, but I think that would be a bit of a daft decision. Thrusting an 18-year-old into a game like this would be pretty ill-advised, as talented as Lewis is. We have a fit back four: Akanji, Dias, Ake, Walker. Not the back four I would have liked, but a back four nonetheless.

I see the problem of playing that back 4 is if we lose a cb tonight we have no replacement unless rodri or Phillips play there.

Mahrez is nailed on to play.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

No way Phillips will start

Tbf I forgot about Lewis so he could play that role

This is the line-up I think we’ll see

I tend to agree even though we have conceded goals in most games or a goal we are hardly conceding many chances. Think it will be a controlled performance with plenty of keep ball don't give them many chances to counter. If we have to come away with a narrow win or level we can take our chance 2nd leg.
