Matty is back but maybe playing in an advanced role. Or Ash in midfield. Interesting.

Interesting choice of Cash. Looks perfect team so we are bound to lose this😳😥

That’s an interesting selection. I don’t think Young could manage a midfield role anymore so I’d imagine Matty Cash will play in midfield in place of SJM.

Not sure about Young in midfield - think Ings could have done with a run out

Other than that about right

This is a good test against underachievers in recent months - a win and we genuinely look upwards for rest of season

Good to see Emi back and presumably Cash on right side of midfield in front of Young.

Cash can't cross the ball to save his life so I wonder is it him or Young in the advanced position.

How we lined up in the second half on Sunday. Might even be a 3-5-2.

I hope it’s not SM1 at Spurs set up.

No Archer on the bench so he must be off to Boro as mooted.

Well Emery did switch to that formation for a time when Cash came on v Spurs but 5 at back at home v Wolves is a tad negative. A number of posters here won't be able to cope!

Good to see Dendoncker on bench, maybe doesn't have 90 mins in him but would have preferred him or Sanson starting. Both Ramsey and McGinn out is a blow. Expecting a lot more from Bailey particularly and Buendia tonight. UTV

If we don't know, you can guarantee the opposition won't either.  Hopefully they'll be interchanging quite a bit.
