Live on BT Sport for those in the UK. Kick off time 20:00 (GMT).

I can't be arsed saying anything about this one after that.

Obviously need a good result in the 1st leg but we just can't build any momentum this season.

After Forest probably not a good time to predict result. I see us losing narrowly but turning it around in Manchester. We have gone out of CL in recent years largely because of a poor defence. Expect more of the same again this season.

Our defence is always prone to concede and they look a real threat attack wise. He will probably bring Akanji back in too!

Im just glad Nkunku is out tbh. Won't be an easy tie the way were defending.

 

[Damanino]

worried of this. this year Leipzig looks very good. just watched the highlights from today game vs Wolfsburg away they won 3-0 with missing 2-3 big sitters too.

only 1 loss in last 14 league games for them, sitting on 5th place but only 4 points off the top, pretty close fight in Bundesliga.

they have lots of speed and very good in pressing and multiple people upfront who can decide games.

their best player Nkunku just arrived back from a long 3-4 months injury, was a sub today.

imo this team on face value is better than that Lyon side way who beat us few years ago and not far off from the Spurs and Monaco sides either.

we need to get some advantage from the away game, as if they can and counter and press us with a lead in the second game it might become a short CL season for us.

no way we can allow KDb, Gundo tired performance against them we will need power and speed in the middle.

Not a game to experiment the LB position.

He's not out. He's fit

 

[didsburyblu]

Don't think we will be keeping a clean sheet in this one. Just gotta keep ourselves in the tie.
Go with a proper back 4
Id even rest Kev as he looked shattered today and with their pace need players who can track back and run and run.

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Gundogan
Foden
Grealish
Haaland
Alvarez
