With Shaw and Martial now officially ruled out on Saturday I’d go with this (realistically looking at how I’d imagine Ole would go)
DDG
AWB Lindelof Maguire Young
McT Pogba
Pereira
Lingard Rashford James
Anyone else think it will be any different realistically?

Having both Periera and Lingard in the starting lineup is a recipe for disaster. The problem is the payers on the bench are not better either, would prefer Greenwood and Matic though.

Jesus Christ that team is absolute poverty. Nobody on the bench either who can come in and make a difference.

This is what I would do as well. I'd make sure Gomes & Chong were on the bench as they can bring something a bit different to the game.
I'd also be tempted to play Fred ahead of McTominay but an away game to Southampton probably isn't the game to bring him back in.

DDG
Wan Bissaka
Lindelof
Maguire
Young
Pereira
McT
Pogba
Mata (RW)
Rashford
James (LW)
As much as I don't like the 4-2-3-1 system Ole seems to play, if we are to play it then I'd rather we have two workhorses behind Pogba. This could also change into the diamond pretty easily with McT holding, Pereira and Pogba RM and LM and Mata behind a two of James and Rashford.
If Ole wanted to be really brave he could replace Pereira and Mata with Gomes (swapping roles with Pogba) and Greenwood. I doubt he'll want to start with that little experience there though.

I’d have Smalling at CB with Maguire after Lindelof’s error at weekend. Darmian in at LB for Shaw. Sanchez in for Martial, obviously.
Not sure about the rest.

Imagine the meltdown. For extra heat put Rojo at LB!

You can bet your bollox it’ll be fecking 4-2-3-1.
Probably something like:
————McT——Pogba
Greenwood—Lingard—James
—————Rashford
We won’t see more than two midfielders start.
