Have a bad feeling it's going to be Rashford on the right today
With Amrabat and Mount still out our options in the middle are fairly limited so I can't see Bruno playing on the wing. So that leaves Rashford, Pellestri or maybe Garnacho for RW. Personally I'd rather see Rashford stay on the left and then the RW spot go to one of the other two. Big call today for Erik. I think we have seen Rashy play on the right about 25/30 times over the years and he's barely had a good game there once. It takes his goal threat away almost completely.
My prediction:
Garnacho Hojlund Rashford
-----------------Bruno
-------Eriksen-----Casemiro
Although as I said above I'd probably switch Garnacho and Rashford if it was me.
Prediction: Hard-fought 2-1 win with some nervy moments.

Fati might also be a menace if he’s starting

He's up against AWB who has a very good record against him Robb. 🙃
It's their other forwards who worry me more today. Solly March and either Ferguson or João Pedro depending on who starts.

No good RW options sadly, Rashford is terrible there, Garnacho hasn’t really shown anything there. Pellistri is the only natural RW option we have but I just don’t see EtH using him. Wouldn’t be surprised seeing Bruno on the right today and Eriksen in the middle.

Eriksen was already in the middle regardless. I assume you mean alongside Mctominay?

sorry, I meant a Eriksen takes Bruno’s role and we have McTom next to Casemiro. Annoying we’re missing both Mount and Amrabat.
