I'll be very surprised if the team isn't this and in this formation:

Stekelenburg
Coleman Jagielka Williams Baines
McCarthy Davies Schneiderlin
Barkley Lukaku Mirallas

Like that team, suppose the issue would be what role Barkley has within it.

...I don't disagree but he might just prefer starting Barry to counter Silva et al and their intricate build up play around the box.

Barry used to be good at planking himself edge of box but not even agile to get tackles and blocks in there now. Leicesters goal good example of that last week. He plays we lose.

He's atrocious. I cant believe Guardiola hasn't woken up yet on the calamity of playing him in a back four.

At Bayern he quickly accepted Martinez was never going to fit into his midfield and reverted him back to CB. He needs to do the reverse with Stones. He's a player that can go on and have a good career as a Carrick type.

I think it's way too conservative, tbh. But it is what I expect.

The team we SHOULD play:

Robles/Stekelenburg (hardly matters, they are both bang average)
Coleman Holgate Williams Mori
Lookman/Lennon Barkley Davies Mirallas
Lukaku Valencia
