Looks like 4-4-2, in which case Monty may blow a fuse:

Guzan,
Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Bertrand,
Bacuna, Westwood, El Ahmadi, Delph,
Weimann, Benteke.

Don't like Westwood and El Ahmadi at home.

It may just be 4-3-3 with Bacuna replacing Gabby ?

Could be, but I would bet against  it. PL does not trust Lowton's pace enough  to let Bacuna get too far  forward. Much will depend on whether WBA have a competent and pacy wide left attacking player.

I'd be very surprised if we lined up 4-4-2 but then why bring in Bacuna instead of Albrighton in a 4-3-3? Either way we do have better players than them all over the park, with midfield being the closest, so should win if Lambert can get them composed and ready to play football. Big IF. UTV UTV UTV

Maybe Bacuna has license to roam behind a front 2?

Yeah this is my feeling. Probably Bacuna roaming, but spending more time on the right to cover Lowton.
