PSG were pretty good at home but I didn’t think they were amazing at Anfield when we played them. They had Neymar for that one as well.

Wouldn't shock me if United picked up a narrow win.

There's some cracking ties there. Can't wait but I'll have to stream it at work. Reddit's no use for them anymore is it?
Yes they just changed the name

I think we will get knocked out by Dortmund :(

I can see us losing 3-1 at Wembley then managing a 1-0 win in Dortmund but it not quite being enough.

I was confident when the fixtures were released, but I have a feeling Dortmund will properly go for it at Wembley whilst Kane and Alli are out. We generally aren't great there and whilst we've been able to get wins against lower teams, I fully expect the lack of Kane in particular to hurt us badly.

I could just be being negative, would hardly be the first time. Oh, and I think United will do PSG. 2-0 at Old Trafford, the team has serious momentum and with PSG's injuries I can see it being another case of a team seizing that opportunity.
I'd love your prediction, but sadly I think we will concede. 2-1 United.

Fair play. I think it's a coin flip with both teams at full strength, with them obviously having the edge now Kane/Alli are out. I wouldn't be surprised to see it going how you said it will.

It's a great tie.
I think Dortmunds injury is equally bad, Their entire central defence is gone and they have to use Weigl as a stop gap with Diallo who just returned

They banned those as well.
I see what a pain, best thing is to download the discord app then, as they're posting the links on that site instead now it seems.

Hope not :D I'd love to see Ajax pull off the unexpected, but whatever happens, it'll be a good chance to see Barca's new signing & Vinicus Jr.

We might end up having to play Fabinho at CB with Matip against Bayern. Lovren is recovering from a hamstring, Gomez is injured and Van Dijk is suspended.

Am I the only one who thinks Liverpool will embarrass Bayern?
Also fancy Spurs.

I'm a bit worried about our CB options but from what I've been hearing, Bayern will struggle against the pace we have in attack.

Bayern's CBs are slower than me and I'm slow as feck. And this is a team that's expected to play a high line and attack. Yes Liverpool might concede but they will score enough.

I predict a win for Barcelona, and perhaps united as well because this is the most opportune time to play PSG. The rest of the games will end in a stalemate, in the first leg of this round.

I fany BvB though, Spurs without Kane and Alli is too much i think.
Dortmund have confirmed today that Reus, Alcacer, Weigl, Piszczek (+Akanji) will not be part of the squad. Thats 4 first-team players ruled out. It's a shame that both teams miss their best players.

I will be happy if we get a draw.

I don't think Kovac will be stupid enough to play a high line vs Liverpool. He will probably sit more conservatively and hope to counter with Gnabry and Coman

Both sides have no prayer in defense and I think they will just go for it in attack

Won't be shocked to see a 4-2 scoreline hopefully in Bayerns favor

Honestly, quite a lot of the fixtures I have pegged as goal fests. It's so damn exciting.

What's the point of later kick off this year if we have both games starting at the same time?

Man, United should be winning versus that lineup. No Cavani & Neymar, likely Dani Alves with an attacking role? :D Anything other than a win would be a failure. I'm going for 3-1.

Bold starting lineup from our manager (Porto), could backfire, hopefully catches them by surprise.

Now that Utd's fourth game of this season against Fulham is out of the way time to see Utd and Pogba against a proper midfield.

Hopefully at least a draw. Going to watch this one and I hope Porto reaches the QF.
