I just read the chances for each team according to Google's Big Data, no need for humans to analyze the possibilities when we have such powerful algorithms:

Looking at City’s lineup Vs Atletico, has Pep once again tried to be too clever? Ok no CF that’s not a big deal unless if you’re Man Utd, but he appears to be playing 3 at the back, with only one real FB/WB in Cancelo.

Also if they get KO’d over two legs he’s going to bet crucified by the press for leaving out both Foden and Grealish in the first leg. Not that I’m against that, but the British media and English players.

City Vs Atletico. Has great potential. The antics of Atletico and Simone might just get to the City players and can see tempers flaring.

Liverpool Vs Benfica potential lots of goals.

I think he might play a back 4

Standard how? Standard would suggest its the norm rather than the exception. Can't imagine how it's pretty standard really.
You get 12 subs in the CL. No point not having a second gk on there with that many subs, in case of extreme bad luck. We had two on our bench in our games as well.

They never play a real back 4. It's the usual stuff, but with Ake instead of Walker and Cancelo inside-right so their strong side is the right instead of the left as normal

McManaman cracked me up with that commentary on Fabinho to be fair to him.
