1. Newcastle
2. Leicester
3. Barca
Let's not underestimate the momentum winning a trophy could give us. On the flip side, how demoralising would losing another final be for this group?
I don't think Liverpool are anywhere near back. Newcastle were still walking through that midfield at times down to 10 men. We should be looking at the Leicester game as a chance to put pressure on City and Arsenal instead.
To beat Barca is nice as a marquee-type game, but I think the demands of a prolonged Europa run with FA Cup and potentially mounting a title charge is too much. I see Europa as a means to CL football moreso than a trophy to win.
