TOTTENHAM v Benfica

We'll continue with the policy of fringe players getting game time and hope that they can continue to show they can compete.

Valencia v SALZBURG

A team playing at the same league level as us but expecting a tough game

Valencia - RB Salzburg

The highest we can finish is 25th so we're hoping to finish the tournament on a high after not a very good start. This will be a difficult game though so we're not hopeful. We are making a tweak to tactics and formation with similar personnel in the line-up. If Salzburg play their strongest team then we will probably have a difficult time but fingers crossed we're up for it.

 Arsenal       -       Liverpool

So the semis and old adversary Drum .. 3 wins and 3 losses apiece in our EFLO games!

As we are away we stick with a back 4, but tweak formation and tactics, with a couple of big hitters returning to the side ..

It's weird, this Arsenal tema look very similar to the Lazio one we played last season ,,,,!

FC Zorya Luhansk       -       Barcelona

A 4th Elite team pairing in a row - 2 wins and "almost" something v Spurs ..

.. we welcome NEW BOY Steve J and are pleased he has joined EFLO!

442 with wing play is our approach, confidence is building around the squad, can we get another scalp??

Bayern vs Ajax

A second away match glamour tie, having beaten Juventus its fellow elite side Bayern, it’s a close game on paper, but there’s a perceived weakness at both full backs and we plan to play high and wide across the front line to exploit it.
