I think we’re done here. In the last game at the Etihad McTominay and Fred outworked and harrassed them all game in midfield. We won’t be able to do that so will likely go with a back 3 and try to shut them out with numbers in the middle of the park that way. Matic and Fred will sit deep and make the spaces smaller.
Rashford is our best outlet and he’s gone, let’s hope James can get back into his early season form, but I fear he’s been overplayed and needs an extended break.
Crucial not to concede in the first half and stay in the game. If we get the first goal it will be interesting, but I can’t see us going through.
1-2
