RB Leipzig (H) - CL - Wed 15 Sep 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Mike N]

It's basically a must win game. Let's be real, its between us and Leipzig for second place. We have to win this and we will...but it'll be close.

We are well able to win the group.

Grealish will be well up for this one, it's his first CL game!

It will be very close to this line up, although I expect to see Gundogan and Stones in place of Grealish and Dias

 

[daflanger]

There will be changes for sure. I believe Stones, Mahrez, KDB will come in. Possibly even Ferna and Zinchenko

We cant play with the same players every 3 days and Pep is the master of rotation

It's a must win game, Pep won't experiment with the team and will play the most in form players. I expect 3-4 changes from Leicester, not 7-8. There's no need to rest players, the game is 4 days after Leicester and 4 days before Southampton.

I’m kinda with you but Stones and Stones?

Also think it more likely that KDB and Foden get 30 minutes when the game’s lost some of it’s pace rather than starting from the off. But, hey, ya never know :-)

Like a lot of the German teams who come. We think they look brilliant in the Bundesliga but are like playing mid table Prem teams. Decent enough, could beat us on the day, but more than likely we’ll win.
