I'd wildcard Clayton's team without blinking. Pedro, Barco and Fabianski won't be playing. Saka and Gabriel have a stinky run now. Rogers every week probably isn't the best with Villa's run now + UCL. Jota might not start and will get subbed every game in addition to UCL and a bad fixture run. Minteh might not start and has a bad run. TAA - a lot of funds for a dodgy run. Henderson - Henderson. The only ones I'd want to keep would be Haaland, Solanke, Mbeumo and Lewis. Easy wildcard.
they were the side that knocked off Chelsea in 2012/13 CL group (Chelsea as LM winners with RDM) with Juventus as well by goal difference in h2h games I believe
