So what do you think the starting eleven will be tomorrow?

I'm going with the lop-sided 3-4-3 he played at Wigan:

He's not over there I don't think? Not seen him in any of the pictures or video footage.

Tell me about it! The U20's aren't there either (Barkley, Lundstram, Stones and Deulofeu).

Will be interesting to see what formation RM goes with; I'd be happy to see him use the formation and tactics he used at Wigan. If you want to see them executed to perfection, watch a re-run of the Cup Final. I've re-watched it twice now, picturing our players in place of Wigan's. (Although Robles and Alcaraz didn't take much imagination!) And before I'm slated for being a hermit, I manage a football team and we used Wigan's formation last season and are continuing to do so this season, hence re-watching the Final!
 
Sitting in Flanagan's now. A few other blues in here that I can see. Should be a good atmosphere in here tomorrow with the ashes on tv as well.

Gives Martinez more time to get to see the others as an upshot. Maybe it's me, but I don't think he'll be dogmatic about formation yet, imo he'll assess the players he has at his disposal and take it from there -- didn't he only use 3 at the back at Wigan as a reaction to defensive injuries ?

I agree with you. The thing about his Wigan formation is how versatile it is; take a look at the image above then apply the following:

Moves Baines further forward and bring Mirallas & Hibbert back = 4-2-3-1

Moves Baines a lot further forward = 4-3-3

Moves Baines further back & bring Mirallas more central = 5-3-2

The reason I love using the formation myself is due to its adaptable nature in differing game scenarios ie. if I'm defending a lead or in need of a goal, one subtle tweak and the emphasis switches.

As for only using it due to defensive injuries, that certainly wasn't the sole reason. Martinez often bemoaned the 4-3-3, saying how his full backs had to get high up the pitch to offer support, resulting in having just 2 at the back. Wigan's defence was poor at the best of times, so he decided to shore things up by adding an additional man.
 
guys we meet up all at stephansplatz from there you can go to whatever pub you want, but it would be nice if all the supporters come, from there you can get easily to 3 - 4 pubs.
Depending on the amount of supporters, we can go all together to one pub. Lets make it a special day and let us show Austria who the famous EFC is!
