But Doo Doo, your original post has Defoe on his own any way. Given the choice, I'd have VdV instead of Pav or Livermore.
I understand the issue with deviating from 4-4-2, with our strikers, but VdV not playing on the right of midfield, but as a number 10, is better than Pav / Livermore being on the pitch. To start with at least.
The only problem with having Modric, Lennon, VDV and Defoe all playing is size.
Count ourselves lucky that City do not play like Stoke.
But set pieces could still be our downfall losing Ade's height in defence.
Team to face City

I've put Defoe up front on his own because he would keep the centre backs back while the midfield dominate the City players, hopefully resulting in one of our amazing counter attacks we do.
