Who goes out, Christensen or Rudiger?

If Luiz plays, then Christensen goes out. 

And Cahill was rested against Stoke. So, he could start ahead of Rudiger.

Simeone on Atleti team: "We always focus on our rivals and the kinds of players that will stop our rivals to try to win the match" #CFC

Simeone on line up:"We may leave a more techincal player out but that might make us more balanced than playing with a technical player" #CFC

Simeone on whether #CFC play like Atleti: "I think there is similarities between the teams but I don't think Conte is copying our style"

I somehow have a very bad feeling about this game. I really hope Conte and the team are up for it. Time for the team to come together and prove their worth.

My memory is failing me. Has Torres played against us since his move back to Spain?

Conte says Pedro has a minor problem but not a serious one. Everyone else except Danny Drinkwater is fit.

More than winnable this, we are playing well and we can cause them problems tonight.

Play Pedro not Willian, start Hazard and play Rudiger.

I wished Conte had said it your way

[manpe 10,855]

Need to shore up midfield with 3-5-2.

Tibo

Azpi - Luiz - Rüdiger

Zap - Kante - Bakayoko - Alonso

Cesc

Morata - Hazard

I worry about us more in the City match than this one, strangely. As great as Atleti are they have a style that I think we match up well against. City play the exact sort of football that we struggle against. That's not to say this won't be an extremely tough tie obviously.

I'd say the City game is more important and if things go south today I hope Conte has that in mind.
