This will be a tough game. They're very compact and organised, but do possess players in the front 3 who can hurt teams, regardless of whether Antonio starts.
I suspect they'll play 3 at the back like Brighton and be happy to sit in a low block.
I think the Brighton game demonstrated a bit of mental fatigue from the 3 international games, with McGinn and Mings way off the pace and Bertie not up to speed. That said, the chances we had, we ought to have won comfortably, yet the goals conceded were mind bending poor.
There may be a temptation to bring Grealish central, but I'd resist that. Our best player ought to play in his best position and I don't want to see him moving closer to Rice, but rather have him drag Rice out of position.
We can't replace Barkley like for like so the options, sticking with Grealish out wide, would be Hourihane or Bertie. Given the fitness of Bertie I'd be tempted to bring Hourihane in and perhaps have him partner Dougie in the midfield and push McGinn further forward.
A winnable game for sure, but tough.
