Oh yeah forgot about them although Arsenal have never really got very far in European competitions.Arsenal have to be considered too. Them and the winners of tonight must be favoured.

I genuinely think we can hang on in the title race and be in with a chance, maybe I'm a dreamer but we're no worse a team than Arsenal. EL is too long a format and I personally am unsure it's worth the strain it puts on a squad, obviously it's a big trophy compared to a league cup but the latter has so few games it's worth it. This is just personal preference and obviously I'd be excited about any knock out games we're in but the EL trophy has been seen as a route into the CL and I think we will do that anyway, plus there's this nagging sense I get that Arsenal and City will keep dropping the odd point and momentum feels like it's with us right now.Why wouldn’t you care about it? We have won naff all in years, this and the carabao cup like I said at the beginning of the season are our best chances of silverware and we should prioritise them as other clubs probably wouldn’t. Finishing top 4 is quickly forgotten, especially when you quickly become cannon fodder in the champions league the following season (as has been the case for us for many years now), however cup final days are remembered forever.
When all are fit I'd go:Gavi and Pedri over Rashford and Bruno??! Considering that the positions they play in.
Why?Hmmm thought it'd be Sabitzer in for Weghorst
Weghorst played midfield, could easily have slotted Sabitzer in for him last week and lost nothingWhy?
Bench looks almost good, finally.

AraujoWhen all are fit I'd go:
MATS
??? Varane Martinez Shaw
Pedri Casemiro Bruno
Dembele Lewa Rashford
Araujo
Damn, suddenly looks 45What's Garnacho done to his Roy Cropper cut?
Bruno right, Sancho left, Wout middle.Good team. Will be interesting to see if it's Bruno on the right with Sancho through the middle.
No, he can play both CB and RB.Would you really drop Martinez/Varane for Araujo?
Suddenly the front man of the Charlatans.Damn, suddenly looks 45
Good team but I thought he'd start Sabitzer.
No, he can play both CB and RB.
