I know nothing about Olympiakos nor the state of Greek football.
Thus I expect a 3-0 trouncing. Dele with all three.
They are the biggest club in Greece (Panathinaikos and AEK are second and 3rd)
We beat them 4-1 on aggregate the last time we played them (W4-0 at WHL, L1-0 A)
Go on, someone say it....We also played them in a friendly at WHL in 2009.
Super Pav, Corluka and Defoe were the scorers.
Crouch and the infamous Sebastian Bassong made their debuts.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Winks rotated out. A lot of injuries last season, remains very important to us as Ndombele is still settling in and Lo Celso is injured, and Winks having to play through pain.It'll be interesting to see what the selection is for this one. Rose can't play two games a week, so I am assuming Davies comes in. Dele for Lamela makes sense for similar reasons. Ndombele and Winks gives us the best option of retaining possession and using the ball positively, which is particularly important in CL away games.
Wanyama and Dier central pivot.Wouldn't be surprised to see Winks rotated out. A lot of injuries last season, remains very important to us as Ndombele is still settling in and Lo Celso is injured, and Winks having to play through pain.
We want Winksy to push on, keeping him somewhat fresh and lessening the risk of injury seems like a good way to do that.

I'd go:
------------------Gazzaniga
Aurier-----Dier-------Sanchez----Davies
------------Ndombele----Winks
-----Moura---------Alli------Eriksen
--------------------Son
Subs: Lloris, Verts, Skipp, Sissoko, Sessegnon, Lamela, Kane (Rose and Alder rested)
I’d be surprised if Kane was omitted for our first champions league game.I think that line up is a million to one shot
Have you been drinking? It’s the champions league OMT, not the Colchester one.I'd go:
