Logically, they would play far harder if they were in the race for the league - but they're not.
Logically, they would play far harder if they were chasing a Champions league place - but maybe they're not.
Logically, they would play far harder if they didn't have Real Madrid a week later, in what might be their only stab at the CL until 2023 - but they do.
We have our best, recently reinforced team fully fit.
None of this means we win or draw for sure - we could end up getting mullahed - but it's a relatively benign set of circumstances for what's often a horror show.
I'd be surprised to see them risk anyone who wasn't 100%, knowing that they play Real Madrid seven days later and a cup final a few days after that.
I'd be very disappointed if we gave them a 0-4 or 0-5 under this set of circumstances. We really should be expecting our lot to be competitive and give them a bit of a game.
