My 'problem' (it's not a problem really) with Rogers is that I can't decide where I'd like to see him play.

My current thinking is, assuming Digne is our normal starting left back, I'd probably go a little bit lopsided and pick Rogers on the right, Asensio at 10, Rashford on the left and Watkins up front but you could swap the 3 behind around in those positions fairly easily within the match and they can all add something. I just want to give the other 2 as many chances to get shots away as possible because they're better finishers than Rogers or Watkins.

I can't see Unai Emery changing the formation now to be honest.  I think Rashford will come in as a central striker and Asensio on the right.  That would mean Rogers either playing as a 'numer 10' or in the role Ramsey plays on the left.
