Nwaneri in for Saka, maybe 1 or 2 other changes.
But let’s keep the momentum going into the second leg.

Is this a game to give Saliba some rest?
Arteta doesn’t tend to rest the spine of the team, so not likely.
Probably better from a psychological perspective to not be thinking about Madrid. So I reckon everyone gets minutes, just like they did when we played Everton last week.

White, Saliba, Kiwior, Tierney;
Zinchenko, Jorginho, Rice;
Nwaneri, Trossard, Martinelli
Very hard to rotate with our thin squad. I really think Rice needs rest too.
Saliba and Kiwior need as many minutes as possible to work on their chemistry.

I’m reminded very much of the game against Villa between legs against Juventus in 2006.
I think if the team could go out there and blow Brentford away on the back of what we did in midweek it would be valuable.
I think this is one where fans and players see it differently. I bet the players are buzzing and can’t wait to get back out on the pitch.

Yeah good point.
Not like we’ve got any other choice but to play them. 
White will probably play RB to rest Timber so Saliba and Kiwior will automatically be the CB duo.
I’m up for this game, just hope we don’t get any injuries.
Can rest everyone as far as I’m concerned but still keen we finish as close to the scousers as possible, too much ‘banter’ if the gap ends more than 10.

I’d like to see Rice rested. He always plays.
Nwaneri, Trossard, White Jorginho and either Tierney or Zinny should come into the side IMO.
