Pickford

Gueye
Vlasic- Rooney - Klaasen- Mirallas
Niasse

The inexperience down the right would be targeted but we don't have many options on that side. Midfield has a balance of pace and strength. Does Gueye's red against Arsenal count for this match? If it does, would have to be Morgan in his place.

I think the red does count. I honestly think that's good. We need to beat Leicester and he's played better than Morgs. I'd play Davies instead of Klaasen too
 
In a way, pressure is off Unsy for this one as no-one will expect us to get a result at Stamford Bridge, he has a free shot at the chavs.

So with that being said, I hope he has a go at them, death or glory stuff. 4-4-2 with a midfield diamond.

The good news is that Koeman has gone. The bad news it that whoever takes over will have a difficult task - we simply haven't got a squad that can produce a conventional team.

We haven't got a centre forward! None of Calvert-Lewin, Niasse, Mirallas and even Rooney can play up front on their own. All Pickford's long balls go to the opposition and quickly come back. Williams could do a better job.

Midfield seem unable to prevent the opposition from playing, and when they do get possession, they can't keep it. Schneiderlin has had a shocking loss of form and we still have no idea of what role Klaassen can play.

In defence, we have begun the season without a regular right back. Our only success has been Pickford.

For the time being, I think that we should try to be be more compact and concentrate on defence. Martina seems to be a wing back rather than a full back, but the rest of the defence doesn't look confident playing three at the back. So I think we'll have to continue with a back four and two defensive midfielders, three in midfield and just one - probably isolated - forward.

It's going to be grim until we can sign a centre forward. We need someone like Ibrahimovic, but I don't know who will be willing to join us in January. Things have not worked out well, and it's going to be a very challenging season.

Stek; Holgate, Martina; Schneiderlin, Besic; Gylfi, DCL.

I believe Gana is suspended for league games, not cup ones?

Domestic games. He's eligible for EL not League Cup.

On positive side I think its only 1 match ban so he should be available for Leicester.
