    This is a far more difficult tie, last night's formation was brilliant at home against LRI but away against Astana it would be absolute madness.

    Keep it tight, a draw is a good result out there. We all remember Shakhtar Karaganda and I just saw their home record in the CL last year, that is not an easy place to go!

    Astana's timezone is GMT+6 hours, but we are in summer time meaning we are GMT+1 hour, so no.

    Will be a tough tie. They drew 4 and lost two of their group stage games in a group with Atletico, Benfica and Galatasaray last year, so they're no pushovers especially at home. A draw would be a good result next week. Personally I'd go with the same side as last night, hopefully with a new centre half in place of Forrest to allow us a bit of flexibility between 3-5-2, 4-4-2 and 4-3-3.

    Probably get a tougher tie in that than we would in the CL play-off round but.

    I'm no sure if you get the Premier Sports Online Player as part of the deal, would need to look into it... Then you could possibly watch it on a Laptop or Tablet.

    If it's on Prem Sports that is...

    Would play a pretty similar team to last night, with Dembele dropping to the bench and a CD coming in. Keep things tight and pray for a good result, or leaving us with a healthycchance to finish things off at CP.
