My starting line up and subs:

Pickford​
Kenny Keane Zouma Digne
Gomes
Davies Gana
Bernard
Cenk Richarlson
Virginia
McCarthy
Lookman
DCL
Schniederlin
Jags/Mina
Coleman

  • Digne returns from suspension
  • Sigurdsson told to stay home
  • Kenny gets the start
  • Gana brought back in
  • New formation:
    • Overload the mid and don’t allow them to play through the center
    • Gomes stays home as the deep playmaker providing a link between defense and mid
    • Gana/Davies allowed to roam wider and cover fullbacks on defense but stay narrower on the attack
    • Fullbacks to push forward into spaces left by Gana and Davies pinning back their wingers/ requiring more support from their fullbacks
    • Bernard has complete freedom to show up where needed and link mid to attack
    • Cenk pushes the line deep while Richarlson plays just off him and in front of the line
  • Subs:
    • Lookman on for Bernard/Cenk for better link up/formation change
    • McCarthy on for Bernard if somehow tied or winning to tighten up the midfield
    • DCL on for Cenk if not performing and keeping formation
    • Virginia, Schniederlin, Coleman, Jags/Mina all unused subs
