Yeah.
So, Rashford played at the weekend.
So, I would imagine Rafinha will come in in his place.
But I think Marcus might.
He generally does quite well against Newcastle.
So, I would say Newcastle have to be strong favourites.
But they're not going to be fazed by the atmosphere at Marseille.
They've already shown that this season.
And Pedri's playing and playing.
He's obviously only had half a game at the weekend.
They haven't got the injury problems that Real Madrid have got.
I think it's only fair to say that.
So I think they'll go into this tie very strong favourites over two legs.
In fact, I see them as one of the possible winners of the competition, I think.
They do, very much so.
I mean, I think for me it's Arsenal, Manchester City, Barcelona or Bayern.
I can't really see Real Madrid at the moment going all the way, but you never know.
But I think Barcelona have to be one of the favourites.
Interestingly, though, I think tactically tonight, Newcastle are the sort of team that could cause them problems if they play the way Chelsea did, which I suspect Eddie Howe might do.
In fact, play the three quick lads up front.
