I probably wouldn't have said so before today, but I think we do need to rest a few guys. We're clearly low on fully fit bodies and this is the only match we could get away with losing for a long while. I'd probably start Llorente and Son in some capacity. But if Poch thinks avoiding another high profile loss is more important than resting players, I wouldn't argue with him.The Derby is in the past, let’s bounce back with style

Kane is clearly not fit, no way should he start this game, no point playing a forward (any forward) that can't press, with a high-line and if we choose/or are forced to sit deep and counter as we did in the first leg, he clearly doesn't have the legs to do that either (he was miles off the pace vs scum). Same with Winks (if injured), I'd also rest Eriksen who has played a lot of games recently (all Internationals were competitive, not friendlies).Let's not make it 3 losses in 4 games please.
Strongest team possible. Guarantee top spot.

LlorisIf Lamela has match fitness then start him. You don’t need a DM with 3 at the back. Dortmund have a lot of injuries and suspensions. Aubameyang is all over the place, they can’t qualify and I’d imagine they’ll want to focus on the league.

Right you are. I think Kane and Dele both need a rest, but without them our goal threat goes.Lamela is not eligible to play in the CL, he hasn't been registered

Sonny knows German football well. It would make sense to start with him. I’d even be tempted to rest Kane and start with Llorente. Madness maybe. But yesterday showed how knackered the holy trinity of Kane, Dele and Eriksen are.
