4-2-3-1, no?

Westwood and Sanchez screening. Cleverly, Delph and Grealish given licence to get up alongside the beast.

Harsh on Smirker. No one has ever had the credentials to post an official team sheet on a match thread. Despite this, he could still make the difference in roaring us on to a 2-2 thrilla.

So what's that then? 4 1 3 1 1 ?

Or 4-2-2-1-1, with an inverted trapezoid midfield.

There's some flexibility there to change things as needed. A couple of screeners because of the threat Silva offers.

They're going to dominate possession. We've got to be organised, solid and look to hit them on the break.

I thought Gabby was meant to be back?
