I think we'll go back to 3 at the back or a diamond. Hopefully it's a diamond with Rashford and Cavani up top. Really hope Martial doesn start. Has to be greenwood or cavani with rashford.
Think Martial pulling up might solve the problem
Rashford and Cavani up top... Diamond in midfield
But Rashford being right of a two is different from right of a three. You could have:
Fred
McTominay Pogba
Fernandes
Rashford Greenwood
(Or Martial instead of Greenwood.)
I can’t remember when we last played the 352? He might go with the diamond at Anfield.
I am convinced he will go with this:
DDG
AWB. Bailly. Maguire. Shaw
McT. Fred
Bruno
Rashford. Pogba
Martial/Cavani

A diamond against the best two fullbacks in England? Are you for real?

Fair point. We haven’t played the 352 for a while though.

Ole might bring in James for Anfield.
Play 4231 and match them up. If we play diamond we will get battered. If we play 352 we will make it hard for them but probably still lose. We are 3pts clear so have the cushion to have a go. Worst case scenario we lose and are level on pts.

AWB Bailly Maguire Shaw
Fred McT

Martial is probably out. I suspect the only real area of contention will be Bailly/Lindelof but Bailly deserves to hold his place.
Otherwise would be very surprised if that isn't the team.

Fair. But mcT and Fred are very mobile and good at pushing out wide to support the FBs when needed.
Just hope we set up to go tow to toe and not to hold on.like the city and Chelsea league games.
We have only really played a diamond for 1 and a half games this season. It's not something we do or are very good at. No chance of seeing it Sunday.

I’m guessing there will be at least 2 buses parked. Maybe 3.
Doesn't matter. If you don't park your var-assisted bus then we will smash you

Yeah probably. As others have said tho I wouldn’t be totally shocked if he played James for his energy and to stop Robertson. And as much as I think James is a horrible player, I wouldn’t be overly annoyed as his pace could actually be good against Liverpool’s high line. The fact he can’t play football is an issue tho haha

I think this will be it
We're going to have issues no matter what way we set up on Sunday. It's just about striking some form of balance between defence and attack, something we've struggled with at Anfield in recent years.
We're more of a threat on the counter now and we'll have more quality in attack at our disposal this time around than we did last season so hopefully it won't be as much of a problem.
I know he played well tonight but playing Pogba on Sunday is a risk if Liverpool have us pinned back for long periods.

I hate wins with pens and VAR but I hope we win with a VAR pen and you get a super tight offside goal ruled out by VAR, just to wind you and Klopp up.
A dodgy last minute pen to win 1-0 would be fantastic. Preferably after Bruno’s avoided a red card from VAR.
I think we should go there with a positive intent. We won't get a better chance to really test them seeing as they have their CBs unavailable. I wouldn't be against putting McT on the right of midfield for his energy with Bruno having a bit of a freer role on the left. Bit of a risk with TAA but think Bruno could exploit the space behind. Two up top to keep them honest there as well.

given that cavani and Martial(before injury) were set to play 90mins despite having subs left, I think you are right. James will start with rashford up top and greenwood or maybe Pogba out on the left in 4231.
