Setanta Ireland & BT Sport

The Celtic game will only be available in Ireland on Setanta.

Ronny Deila said in his press conference earlier that Commons has done light training over the past couple of days and they’ll make a decision on him tomorrow.

What team would you go for, bhoys? I’d go with:

Gordon;
Matthews; Denayer, Van Dijk, Izaguirre;
Brown, Bitton;
Mackay-Steven, Johansen, Armstrong;
Griffiths.

Stokes and Guidetti for Armstrong and Griffiths for me.

Why Guidetti for Griffiths?

Thought he did well in his last start and his hold-up play is much better to that of Griffiths.

His hold up play is better alright but he lacks mobility. They both have different strengths but I think Griffiths’ form (4 goals in his last 5 games) has earned him a start. I wondered if bringing him off early in the second half on Saturday was to protect him for tomorrow night too.

I like Mackay-Stevens’ diagonal runs infield into the space vacated when the striker pulls wide and I have visions of him springing the offside trap and being clear through tomorrow evening.

Does he score mate ?

No, pal. He gets caught in two minds about whether to go for the slot or dinked finish and Handanovic gets out to smother the ball.

This is the team I’d go for too. I know @Il Bomber Desto wasn’t overly impressed with Armstrong at the weekend - I thought he was excellent. Wouldn’t be too surprised or upset if Stokes started ahead of him though but I think the rest of it is less debatable, particularly with Commons out.

Italy manager Antonio Conte on Fiorentina: “Fiorentina’s centre forward is slow and lazy and the full-backs don’t mark up properly.I would like to see Fiorentina win, but I think Spurs have the better team and are vastly superior.”

Easy know he is an ex Juve player really, i expect the Viola to win both legs quite easily vs FC Aushwitz.

this team confimed. Stokes not on the bench. Presume he’s injured.

Is Forrest injured as well?

Everton strolling v yb.4-1,lukaku hattrick.everton down to 10 men where young stones brought down the striker.yb missed the resulting peno.never a red card though…

@Il Bomber Destro How good are inter? Should I put the house on them?

No.

Back Ronny’s Bhoys.

How is Shaqiri eligable, didn’t he play UCL with Bayern this season? or did the rules change?
