If we make it through City, better make sure we win this thing otherwise wasted effort.

Yes, I am aware of that. Reason why I said I doubt we will play on Friday is because we have PSG away before that on Tuesday.

We still probably will do most of the defending

But, really that is a tie I expect us to win. Even if it was played on the Saturday, they still would rest a few and this is really our priority.
