Absolutely buzzing for this game! Potential to be the best atmosphere at Wembley yet.

I agree, cannot see Rose starting this. Still seemed well off the pace against West Ham, and think it will be a while yet still, before he's really firing. For now, and the foreseeable, Davies is no.1 in that position.
I'm interested to see how we might go in the middle and up top.
The back 6 is very likely to be Lloris, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen with Aurier and Davies as wing backs.
But in the middle with Dembele seemingly back fit, and Alli returning from suspension there are some big decisions to make.
Do we stick with Winks who has performed so well? Does Dier move back into midfield? Does Sissoko remain in the side in order to offer a little more directness from the middle?
Then you have similar issues further forward. Kane seems in line to start. Do we play two up top again? Does Son keep a place? Alli?
I have no idea.
Rose should start ahead of Davies not because he deserves to. He doesn’t. He should start this match because he’s the best option vs. Madrid and his pace down the wings will be invaluable this match.
Eh? That's only if BVB drop points again which is unlikelyWin tonight and we'll have mathematically qualified from the "group of death" with 2 whole games to spare. Huge incentive.

If we win tonight we'd be on 10 points. If BVB win their final three they'll be on 10 points. And if Madrid lose tonight, beat Apoel, and lose to BVB they will also be on 10 points. As we'd have a better head-to-head than Real we will be through, it wouldn't matter what our result against Apoel or Dortmund is.Eh? That's only if BVB drop points again which is unlikely
.....and Liverpool against Maribor STILL dominates the Sky Sports webpage. Think anything relating to our Real Madrid game is about 6th or 7th story on their page! Real Madrid are in town. Ronaldo is in town. Yet the headline news story is about Alex Oxade Chamberlain. LOLCan I just take a moment to remind everyone that we’re playing Real Madrid in the Champions League... pinch me, I could only dream of this a few years ago.

I'm eternally stuck in the Ginger Pele yearsA few years ago we were playing Real Madrid in the Champions League
Dortmund can only catch us if they beat Madrid. If they beat Madrid, then they can still catch us, but Madrid can't. They can't both overtake us, only one can.Eh? That's only if BVB drop points again which is unlikely
