Arsenal losing tonight is good for us as now it means they are not guaranteed top spot unless they win their last game of the group. They will win that game but after losing tonight, means they have extra work to do and that is 3 days before they play us. So they will play a mixed team of fringe players and regulars while if they drew or lost tonight, would have completely played a whole back up 11, while we have guaranteed top spot so can rest every player who will start that big game few days later against Arsenal.

I don't expect to see drastic changes for that last UCL game, probably Mount, Kovacic, Jorginho and T.Silva get the night off but that's about it.  Wonder if Potter and the club look at getting a RWB in the January window (considering Reece's injury and the fact that RLC will need a breather as well).

I expect will be wholesale changes. We already have topped the group and have a massive game few days after. We have the squad to rotate too. I expect to see likes of Broja, Pulisic, Ziyech, Chucky, maybe Zakaria starting. Assuming it will be Auba/Havertx starting against Brighton later, whoever is the sub will start against Dinamo I guess. Gallagher most likely too.

These scums from the premier league have all the luck in the world. Napoli chalked off absurd goal and after Tottenham fluke it in last second.

It's good for us tho. May they stay in the meat grinder as long as possible.

It would have been better for Spurs to be in the Europa league. More fixtures, and Thursday nights.

Don't see how this is better for us when we're in the same exact competition 

Also agree - it's annoying how they keep sneaking in at the last minute despite being woeful.

I was not referring to spuds in particular but hoping that they would go out in a group with OM, SGE and Sporting was futile 

having them play in CL as well is obv better for us compared to them not having midweek games at all

Maybe it would be best if all other English teams went to the EL but we can’t have it our way all the time .
