Champions League Team News: Walker and Ederson back for City, Odegaard fit for Arsenal
Decisions, decisions decisions.
Thanks again to UEFA for scheduling two Champions League quarter-finals at the exact same time which leavse us to ponder; which one to watch?
There is also the option of flicking between the two, of course, but that usually means you don't watch either match properly.
But anyway, there's nothing we can do about it now. Decisions aplenty for the managers of the four teams in action tonight as well as they look to pick a side that gives them the best chance of reaching the semi-finals.
Starting with Manchester City's clash with Real Madrid at the Etihad then and Pep Guardiola has been boosted by the return to fitness of Kyle Walker and Ederson.
Rodri returns to the starting eleven - no surprises there - after sitting out the comfortable 5-1 win over Luton Town at the weekend while Jack Grealish has been given the nod over Doku.
As for Arsenal, Mikel Arteta will be happy he can name Odegaard and Saka in his team - they were both doubts after their loss to Aston Villa - while Gabriel Martinelli, Jorginho and Tomiyasu return in place of Trossard, Jesus and Zinchenko.
The two ties are finally poised with City v Real level at 3-3 while Bayern v Arsenal is level at 2-2 from the first leg. The two winners tonight will meet in the semi-finals and will be one step closer to reaching the final at Wembley.
It really is a shame we can't watch both!
