Good attacking line up,surprised to see Laporte start,but hopefully he’s ok and probably play first half then make a change ..

Pep in the squad, that's a massive gamble.

If we're going to sneak Pep in as a 12th player, he needs at least to be wearing our kit ...

A lot of injuries/suspensions but that's a strong starting line-up. Two quality attacking options on the bench in Mahrez and Jesus.

As expected. Interesting humphreys makes the bench ahead of Sandler who I thought was added to the CL squad list but no surprises there.

They're in the league equivalent position of crystal palace. What happened against them in the league game can be seen as a warning not to underestimate them but also that was a freak result and given we have a 1 goal lead that means they have to come at us comined with only needing a draw I can't see anything but a comfortable night. This set of circumstances will suit our game. Delighted to see the return of Sterling/Sane we lose so much going forward when either is missing, the two pronged threat is key to our play, I expect goals tonight,

Sandler is injured that's probley why ?

So is it it Walker or Danilo at centre back?

I'd guess Walker, but I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be some crazy hybrid formation that bamboozles us all.

Good to see Sane get a start - now up to him to show Pep what he can do. He's stood tall in some big games so we are going to need him on song as we approach the business end of this season.

Or a back 3 with Zinchenko in midfield.

Love the lineup

Any time Raz and Leroy both on the pitch I’m happy

I reckon Danilo will be performing a similar role to the one Fernandinho had against Arsenal.

Same,i maintain that's our best lineup
