Michael Tucker Report post Posted September 16, 2018 Best as I can make out, this is the correct time/date. However, on the sites I've checked there are a number of variations. Anyone who has more accurate times - would you please let me know? Cheers in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From UEFA.com it shows that the standard kick-off times for the EL this season are 17.55 and 20.00 UK time. Thankfully all our home games are at the later time. All the away games are at the earlier time. Hopefully Hazard and a few others won't even travel for this match. Caballero Zappacosta Christensen Cahill Palmieri Ampadu Fabregas Barkley Moses Morata Hudson-Odoi Subs: Bulka, Azpilicueta, Rüdiger, Kanté, Jorginho, Willian, Giroud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kante Report post Posted September 16, 2018 Surely the EL is going to be used to blood some of the young players and give time to the squad players. For me I would go with: Kepa Zappa Christensen Cahill Emerson Ampadu Cesc Barkley Moses Morata CHO Subs - Willy, Luiz, Dave, Drinkwater, Jorginho/RLC, Pedro, Giroud For me, Kepa should play as he needs minutes at European level and actually minutes in general. If RLC is fit, I would be tempted to start him ahead of Barkley to give him a chance to stake a claim. Jorginho should only travel if RLC is ruled out as we should not be taking many of our first XI internationals out to this game. Same applies for the other away games.

Gormangorman Report post Posted September 16, 2018 Yes, 1755 is the right (strange) kick off time. Would be great to see Christensen and RLC get a game if fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My Blood Is Blue Report post Posted September 16, 2018 I agree Kepa should start this, get him some exposure toe european competition football and I just thing some more time bedding in to this squad. For me I'd go (if RLC isn't fit): Kepa Zappacosta Christensen Cahill Emerson Ampadu Drinkwater Barkley Moses Morata CHO Subs: Caballero, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Fabregas, Kante, Pedro, Giroud I wouldn't rush Cesc back and if he wasn't fit for the bench yesterday, I'd suggest giving him more than 20/30 mins in this match just isn't sensible/needed. CHO not showing on the UEFA site as being in the squad, but presume he's able to without being officially registered in the squad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hallgalley Report post Posted September 16, 2018 I don’t think Drinkwater Green or Piazon were registered Hudson-Odoi on B list I would go if RLC injured Caballero Emerson Cahill Christensen Zappacosta Ampadu Barkley Fabregas Hudson Odoi Moses Morata Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob B Report post Posted September 16, 2018 Anyone know anything about Paok or the Greek league? ie what would a team who are currently 4th be the equivalent to in England? Ideal opportunity to blood some youngsters but we don’t want to be too complacent and get caught cold. I think it’ll be: Caballero Zappa. Christensen. Cahill. Emerson (if fit) Barkley Ampadu RLC (if fit) Moses. Morata. Willian Although I’d have CHO in personally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
