After the the game on Monday, confidence amongst the fans and players should be at it’s highest for months.

We need a morale boosting home leg and despite my dislike for the competition we need to get through to the league stage, again for the confidence factor and the players knowing we have something worth fighting for.

I am not confident on what team and formation MON will pick. We know that Guzan will play, Ash may be out after his injury by the dirty scouser Carragher. I woudl imagine though the rest of the team will be the same and I think it will be an exciting game.

The predicted crowd seems to be around 25,000 which is not too bad and the atmopshere should be ‘interesting’.

Lets hope for an electric European night.
