Feck I’m so nervous now. It’s even worse when I know it’s ours to lose.
If City score in the first 10 minutes I’m hiding behind the sofa.

4-2 to City tonight.
We’re wearing red silly.
It'll be Fernandinho centre back and Laporte left back I think.
Dont get city's formation, walker as a RCB? Or ferdaninho as a lb with silva x2 and kdb midfield?
Can someone please tell me what formation Pep has gone with tonight?
Seen a few people say that scoreline on Twitter. Must be fixed.
With who holding?
You’ll be fine. Liverpool have that thing in Europe they just know how to get to finals.
City haven’t got a clue. Emptyhad won’t be able to muster up much of an atmosphere either.
1-0-10
Nah he plays for Arsenal mate.
Fernandinho in midfield. I expect City will go with a back 3 of Walker, Otamendi and Laporte.
Looks like a 3-4-3 or something like that
Playing Jesus over Aguero is a mistake. Van Dijk will pocket him, Aguero has way more threats to his game.
Surely they're playing Fernandinho as a CB in a 4-4-2? Anything else and they're going to be struggling when Liverpool break.
Anyhow there's very unlikely that City score 3+ without Liverpool scoring 1.

Just think they'll be going all out and you'll get a couple on the break. I've put a couple of quid on it (I also put £1 on it being 0-0 with zero bookings!).
Aguero always scores against us at The Etihad. I can’t remember the last time he didn’t.
For someone with City Lover tag, you guys seem quite unfamiliar with Pep's tactic?
Fernandinho can drop in as a CB (he did in game at OT in the second half) and make it 3 at the back. Sane was seen playing as left wing back before.
He's fully gone for it
God forbid, if true. Kissing goodbye to the biggest club tournament to motivate a player? Losing a great deal of prestige to teach Pogs a lesson?
Pep is leaving Aguero for late winners.
No idea. They have to go for it though, and that would the a very attacking lineup.
They will have no wings backs though.
Unless they are playing a 3-1-3-3 which I very much doubt.
3-4-3 with a midfield diamond would be my guess.
It is, however, attacking lineups don't always equate to goals. Seems to be no balance in those lineup of players, but I guess it all depends on the system Pep goes with.
Pep trying to surprise Klopp with the formation I believe. I am guessing Pool will still stick to their best strategy of relentless attacks.
I am 100% sure City players have been instructed to tactically foul Salah who picked up an injury last week.

Did you see Aguero at Anfield in the league game?
We might get half an hour of a fanciful run for our money somewhere or other but I reckon this City- LFC tie is basically over.
Liverpool are gonna score at some point,.

Some line up from City. Comes down to how brave Liverpool are feeling. If they can see out the waves of attacks they're no doubt going to face and keep their heads, there's going to be a shedload of space on the counter, especially on the wings.
Did you see Jesus in the last leg? Because I genuinely didn't. He did nothing.
This is probably the only game where there's more chance of their being 5+ goals than none at all.
It’s either going turn out to be a genius move from Pep or he gonna get embarrassed, nothing in between.Think we'll play like a crazy 352 tonight for sure, more a 3142. Something like...

Yes, scored two goals, how many Jesus managed at Anfield?
KDB as a defensive MD?! No chance
Aguero is not 100% fit.
