Just the 37 games Man City are unbeaten at home.

I'd imagine we'll be playing Burn at LWB so when we are on the attack he can stick back and we'll have 4 players at the back in possession, in theory meaning there will be less space for Man City to operate in in transition.

Sounds like Music has put in a man of the match performance for Burnley today, and he was goalkeeper of the season in the Championship last season. Makes it more bizarre that Kompany kept going going with a regen that was clearly not good enough for this level yet.

Tom Cleverly's Watford winning at Birmingham.

Yeah that was utter class.

Epic stuff that.

Yes Coventry!

Class goal that in fairness.

Very undeserved that.

Swansea winning.

Swansea Vs Cardiff at 12:30 could be laughs.

Chelsea are three up, and they have all been unbelievably fortuitous

Quite a big game in the WSL kicking off in a bit at a packed out Stamford Bridge.

So would that be: Dubravka Livramento Schar Lascelles Botman Burn Willock Bruno Miggy Isak Gordan In before Hall starts at LWB

That not the point is it? Lamine Yamal is playing a lot, but that doesn't mean that its the right thing for him, just look at Gavi who by the age of 19 has 111 games for Barcelona, and 27 games for Spain, with barely a summers break, and he's now got a serious long term injury, that by all accounts is due to being over played at a point he was still developing as a person. Or Pedri who played 133 times before 21, and now has had back to back muscle injuries. Or Ansu Fati, who got over played and who's development has been massively stunted and he's now been farmed out to Brighton. "Protecting a player" isn't about the here and now, its about protecting players who are still developing, and maturing, to ensure their career doesn't get hampered by injuries and he is able to reach his full potential.

It is, i'm not denying that, I think I just "Elite clubs" boring and generally find the Champions League soulless, and sterile these days (that said it is class when you're a part of it).

I feel I say this every year, but looking at the teams in each of the European quarter finals, that Europa League is infinitely more interesting then the Champions League, and the Conference League probably is too tbh.

Given Liverpool have a bit of an injury crisis, have Man United away on Sunday, and have a 5-1 advantage from the first match. I really don't understand why Klopp has picked such a strong side for this Europa League game.

Oh go on then, if we have to.
