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

I think we need to be a bit wary of this one, we've had a lot of close, winnable Champions League ties that have gone the wrong way for us, we can't let that happen here.

They've had a tough run of games since playing us, they beat Frankfurt, lost to Dortmund narrowly and smashed Monchengladbach today. Marco Rose admitted he rushed Nkunku back last week, he didn't play against Monchengladbach and it looks like he will now be out of the 2nd leg.

This competition is wide open; Chelsea, Benfica, Milan and Bayern went through this week. They'll be joined almost certainly by Napoli, Real Madrid, Inter/Porto and hopefully us. We've got to fancy our chances this year.

We're now 8 unbeaten, our longest run since the start of the season.

Hopefully an electric atmosphere sees us through to the quarter-final.

Predicted Team:
----------------Ederson
Walker----Stones---Dias----Ake
-----------------Rodri
-----De Bruyne----Gundogan
Foden-------Haaland----Grealish

I do think there is a chance he'll go with Mahrez as he got a full rest versus Palace.

I think we’ll see Mahrez for Phil for this, not what I would go with but Mahrez does perform in champions league games.
 
I've got a rotten feeling about this one. I just think Leipzig is bad from a 'matchup' standpoint for us.

Not that it means much but the bookies seem to love our chances to progress. Leipzig is 4/1 to qualify currently. I think that's worth a small emotional hedge ;)
 
Neat and tidy and we have to be mindful of them but if they’re losing Nkunku as the OP suggests then it’s a huge blow for them. Hopefully we’ll be as dominant as we were in the first 45 over there, but for 95.
 
________________Ederson_____________

Walker______Stones____Dias_______Foden

_______________Rodri_____________

_____Bernardo__________Kevin______

Jack________Alvarez_________Mahrez
 
Ederson
Walker Akanji Dias Ake
De Bruyne Rodri Gundo
Mahrez Haaland Alvarez

Didn’t feel we were 100% at Selhurst Park last evening but hopefully a refreshed lineup and different focus in champions league football

Mahrez is key
