Welcome to the first leg of our UEFA Conference League quarterfinal matchup against Legia Warsaw, and their legendary fans. It should be a great atmosphere; hopefully with a nice result to match.
Enzo Maresca has opted for something far from full strength, giving starts to both Tyrique George and Josh Acheampong (yay!) and also to the likes of Nkunku and KDH (hmmm). Let’s hope we’re not taking this too lightly! I’m guessing Reecey’s in midfield and Gusto at nominal (inverting) left back, but we’ll see how that all shakes out.
Here we go!
