A lot of people saying the same thing -- this is a must win game. Except, it isn't. A draw here, coupled with wins at home against Maribor and Moscow, and a draw in Spain will see us through.
I get the sentiment -- 1 win in 8 has us low on confidence and a big win will help get momentum swinging back in the right direction. No argument there, but it won't be dire if we leave with a point.
Much is being made of our "situation" at present, but the reality isn't as bad as some make it out to be. We are level on points with Chelsea and Arsenal, and only 4 behind Spurs. We have also had the hardest schedule of any of the top 6 to date, so plenty of time for things to level out.
All that said, we really should be winning this game with relative ease. I hope we see a few changes to keep players fresh and squad members happy, but we need to keep a relatively settled 11. I'd go for:
Karius
TAA - Matip - Klavan - Robertson
Ox - Gini - Hendo - Coutinho
Salah
Studge
