So we got

1) Everton away Saturday, Ajax away Wednesday, Sheff Utd home Saturday

Immediately followed by

2) Midtjylland home Tuesday, West Ham home Saturday tea time

Immediately followed by

3) Atalanta away Tuesday, City away Saturday

International break ffs

4) Leicester home Saturday, Atalanta home Wednesday

Immediately followed by

5) Brighton away Saturday, Ajax home Tuesday

Immediately followed by

6) Wolves home Saturday, Midtjylland away Wednesday




Obviously those latter Saturday kick offs are subject to change, but that's about the size of it. That Atalanta and City away lark is gonna be tough.

I'll take those fixtures. No sign of Utd, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea in that grouping. Just need to ensure we break our away voodoo and beat Ajax away followed by Midj at home. We can then afford to rest players away to Atalanta.

I'm loving this draw!

I fancy Atalanta to give us problems, a draw wouldn't be a bad result against them.

Man Utd though

[cannotmakeit]

Liverpool v Leipzig

[Fredo]

Good draw this. Suits us I think.

[Maxiedge]

I said it before and I'll stand by it, Leipzig looked really poor in both games vs Man U and I'm happy with that draw

[cannotmakeit]

Borussia Monchengladbach v Manchester City
Lazio v Bayern Munich
Atletico Madrid v Chelsea
RB Leipzig v Liverpool
Porto v Juventus
Barcelona v Paris St-Germain
Sevilla v Borussia Dortmund
Atalanta v Real Madrid

[Buzzo]

Who did Man U get?

[Shaggy]

City get the easiest draw again

How does this fit with their conspiracy theories?

BMG no mugs this season - they’ll give City a game

[danperkins]

Decent draw, we usually fair well vs sides who as open as Leipzig.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Tough enough game for us as things stand right now.

They are probably a better team than Atalanta, and have a very settled back line that is not lacking in pace and physicality. In the center they do not have players that would be of the same quality of some of our midifelders, but they are mobile, and quick to press in the centre.

Up front they have some pace and players that, whilst nowhere close to our front three, are more than capable of troubling the back lines of better teams as seen by how they went at Bayern Munich recently and they do have a habit of raising their game against the better attacking teams.

Their home form is really good too. Think they have won every home game in all competitions this season.

And unlike us, and this is what makes them a tough match up for us imo, they are pretty lucky when it comes to injuries and the like. Our best XI against their best XI and you have to favour us every time, home or away. Our patched up XIs though against their rarely badly hit by injuries XIs makes the two games against them a lot closer imo.
