RB Leipzig in the Champions League

The Premier League is not very forgiving and when you're eating at the big table every other week things do look imposing. All that written, we're two points off top four in our domestic league and in the Champions League, a win tonight could put us firmly in the top eight.

But RB Leipzig are no walk in the park and this will be tougher than Southampton at Villa Park or Forest at the City Ground.

Some might even say not as important as those matches. I think all matches are important and we're three matches in this League from qualifying. It's in our hands and we need to look at every match as an opportunity. 

And while RB Leipzig have lost all five of their matches in the Champions League and have possibly given up on qualifying, they are fourth in the Bundesliga and that is no easy feat. Although fourth in Germany is easier than sixth in the Premier League.

This isn't me saying we will go to Germany and win. This will be a tough match and if either side are on their game and things are working as they would ideally hope, that team will win.

The thing is, neither side is consistently playing the way they might like, so that's easy for me to write. Tonight is going to be very interesting.
