Pre-match views from the forum:

AberGooner: “Really tricky game this. On paper a much harder game than Lens for example. Still a learning period in Europe for us so interested to see how this goes. A draw wouldn’t be the worst result.”

SA Gunner: “We need to bring back directness to our game again. We must switch to it more when the time comes, in addition to our patience. We’ll get those moments more in the Champions League. And it was this directness that made us so dangerous last season.

Hopefully, TP5 is available again, I want to see him at the base of our midfield. Rice has also improved before our eyes and gives us further distribution, penetration on the ball and cover on the ball from deep, allowing Zinchenko more time forward as well.

Give Ramsdale a start too, and have him bait the press just like Raya does.
