I think this game has the worst timing because I expected Lampard to be sacked so for him to just be setting up in a dead rubber, it's time to ring some changes.
5-3-2 will combat the 4-3-3 but also allow us to counter also.
Pickford
Coleman - Mina - Coady - Tarkowski - Godfrey
Very solid defensive line with not much messing around just low block and look for movement forwards.
I think Mykolenko has been ok this season but he has played a lot of games so happy to rest him. Godfrey was excellent v City and never should've been dropped also he played excellent at left back a few seasons ago so hoping he shackle any pace they have down the right.
Price - Onana - Iwobi
Nice mix of youth and hard work to stifle Utd's midfield.
Not overly happy with Gueye so I'd like to see Price get a start. Best player during the Australia trip so he has earned an opportunity plus he will give some energy into the middle.
Simms - Maupay
Same with Gordon, Gray and DCL, don't risk players who we might need in the run in.
Simms came on in midweek and was a good like for like for DCL, physical, hard working and pace. He will give United a headache and Maupay doesn't look match fit to me so get some game time in his legs.
We have some good options from set-pieces and also the counter but it's a uphill task.
