This is it!

Phew they just keep coming don't they? Tuesday sees us take on the pint sized Danish champions from Midtjylland (Land of Midgets).

As a token of fair play, we've recalled Jay Spearing and he'll be lining up along side Shaqiri and Keita in midfield.

On a serious note, we should see a highly rotated team with likes of Keita, Jones, Minamino and Shaqiri in starting contention.

I'm sure we won't make 10 changes (Alisson in goal all day long for me) so I reckon TAA and Robertson will play with either Fabinho or Gomez alongside Matip if he's ready to play.

[SB]

I hope they do rest the front three & only give them minutes if it’s necessary.

Hope Nabby is available to ease the pressure on other midfielders

[The_weatherman]

Alisson
Neco Gomez Rhys Robertson
Gini Keita Milner
Jota Taki Shaq

Ideally, give Matip some minutes and hopefully Kostas will be back soon. Maybe Origi will come in.

[danperkins]

Definitely a good game to let the fringe get some minutes and stake a claim.

[SB]

I’d be surprised if Origi didn't make the bench

[BigChief]

Foresterbloke.

[Mark79]

This is game 2 though

[Pablo]

It's a shame Tsimikas is still injured, I feel Robbo needs a rest and this would have been an ideal game for him to fill in. Milner at LB for me and I'd rest Trent too.

You might feel it, but he doesn't look it. Fittest he's looked in ages.

But yeah, no point in running him into the ground for this fixture.

I didn't mean that he looks jaded or anything. He's been immense. I just feel like he's played loads of games and could do with sitting this one out.

I'm going:

----------------------------Alisson------------------------------

Williams-------------Rhys----------Gomez--------------Milner

----------------------------Fabinho----------------------------

---------Jones-----------------------------------Gini-----------

Minamino-----------------Origi-------------------------Shaq

[Pablo]

I actually do want to win this one and get off to a flier in the group. I'd go relatively strong:

----------------------------Alisson------------------------------

Williams-------------Rhys----------Gomez--------------Milner

----------------------------Henderson----------------------------

---------Jones-----------------------------------Gini------

Shaq-----------------Minamino-------------------------Jota

Agree on that back 5 Kev. I'd have Fabinho to come on at halftime for Henderson to share their minutes.
