its showing on their online tv guide.... so assume so
http://www.en.beinsports.net/tv-guide showing from 20:45 (assume this is 19:45 due to the clock changes)
do we not have a number (cant remember how many) of training pitches, each one slightly different grass, dimensions etc so we can train on pitches close in style to our upcoming opponents?
but, yes, 17 is excessive by anyone's use of the word
