Why bother going?
We would still need to send a team to Marseille even if top spot is secure prior to the game.
Uefa wouldn’t just award a 3-0 win to Marseille, we’d potentially get thrown out of the competition.

Rightly or wrong, I think we'll see

We must also hope we beat Sporting and Frankfurt Farmers beat Marseille Croissants in Frankfurt. If that happens top place in the CL group is secure
That was an unnecessary long, complicated and confusing way of saying head to head before goal difference.Answering my own question, it does to go head to head;
If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied in the order given to determine their rankings:
- higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
- superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question;
- higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
- if, after having applied criteria a) to c), teams still have an equal ranking, criteria a) to c) are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the remaining teams to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria e) to k) apply in the order given to the two or more teams still equal;
- superior goal difference in all group matches;
- higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
- higher number of away goals scored in all group matches;
- higher number of wins in all group matches;
- higher number of away wins in all group matches;
- lower disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
- higher club coefficient (see Annex D).

I was just joking as I assumed you were.

Does it definitely go to head to head rather than GD?
With the fixture schedule we have had it would be more than sensible to pick the team for the Liverpool game and then leave them all in London for the trip to Marseille.
It's impossible to make plans for so far into the future, too many things can happen. Added to that I hate seeing us play the "second team" as it doesn't exist in reality, it's just 11 blokes who have never played in a competitive match together and usually put up a pathetic display and do nothing to help development or build confidence.
Sept13, Sept17, Sept23, Sept26, Oct1, Oct4, Oct8, Oct12, Oct15, Oct19, Oct23, Oct26, Oct29, Nov1, Nov6
That’s the schedule our players are going through with little rotation from Conte. Nov1 is Marseille away and Nov6 is Liverpool at home. If we are already guaranteed top spot in our CL group before the Marseille game I would pick my team for Liverpool at home 5 days in advance of that game and then leave that 11 in London for the trip to Marseille.
Doing anything else is a dereliction of duty imo.

Anyway, when alls said and done, lets stick one to fat frank....COYS
Yeah he always gave us the big I am when he scored against us.
Would that selection be based on availability? Who knows who will be available on 6 November? Thats my point. Might as well select our team for champions league final now.
