Tough call but id go for it. Dembele will struggle to be ready? Or do we think between now and then is enough rest?

For me personally alli has been nowhere near productive enough in front of goal this season so id like him to drop back into the engine room to make space for lamela. We all know he will find those magic passes to kane. Son to start also for his pace and trickery.

Look to bring on dembele and moura depending on circumstances.

Would offer us a lot of creativity and quick passing while being solid in the back.​

Surely not Juve. Great team. Missing a few players but still won 7-0 the other day.
I think they have conceded 1 goal in their last 16 matches.

Might be the complete opposite of vulnerable....

I'd love to be able to snatch an away goal, but will be happy with 0-0 too.

Team I'd play for this:

Lloris

Aurier
Alderweireld
Vertonghen
Davies

Wanyama
Dembele
Eriksen

Lamela
Kane
Son

Subs: Vorm, Trippier, Rose, Sanchez, Dier, Dele, Moura

Lamela is ready and his tenacity to graft from the front could be so crucial for us. He's obviously played in Italy and has that experience as well.

I'd keep Davies in, Rose still looks rusty and this is a game where we can't afford to carry anyone, he can build minutes against Rochdale.

Aurier has to play over Trippier for his superior defensive game and Alderweireld is surely ready to slot in now with his experience being priority, and also just giving young Sanchez a breather and protecting him so to speak after the way he struggled at a tough away ground in Anfield. He was great today though, and against United.

I think the time is right to bring Wanyama back in as well, Dier has played so much I think it's a good change. That said if it's a game too soon for Dembele obviously Dier will start.

Dele being a great option to come on second half.

I like that team, it's solid and carries a real attacking threat and Son just must start, we simply attack better as a team with him in it and scoring an away goal could be crucial.

Watched 1st full game last night and they were awful. They rarely have more of the ball than opponents. It’s a bit of a conundrum but they definitely looked vulnerable to the high press. I’d be very tempted to have a go at them. Also very hard to change this team after last 3 games.

Don't think 0-0 is a great knockout result. Go 1-0 down at Wembley and things get twitchy. I want to see us play in a mature fashion. Yes not gung ho but we can't just park the bus- we need to threaten on the counter at least if we're going to surrender possession.

Pretty sure, we are gonna run through this lot. If we can keep the average pace of the last three league games, and importantly over 50% possession, they will wilt by 50-55mins like they all have.

Have to say, I'm feeling much more positive about the recovery this season, think they are eating kelp!

Juve will be patient and play the match like a game of chess. They will keep it tight and look to pinch a goal at some point over the 2 legs.
One thing they will do is surrender the ball. We need to move it fast and look to play in between the lines. Id also press them high up and force them long. Thats why i had lamela and son to start along with alli's energy in cm.
