I think it will be 4-2-3-1 with Maupay up top, Burn at Left back and Alzate part of the three behind Maupay. Didn't we play this formation in some pre-season games?

God, this is just so much more civilised than 7am kick-offs

Blimey, Potter does like mixing it up. What are we supposed to do with that lot?

Four at the back with Burn at left back, Gross and Alzate behind Maupay?

3-4-3, Alzate and Montoya wing backs?

3-5-1-1? Gross behind Maupay, Mooy in midfield and Alzate LWB?

Something else?!

Poor team .... Pressure on s little if we lose this

More "interesting" than poor. Potter seems to be playing horses for courses. Much harder for the opposition than last season when you could have predicted the starting XI and how we would play in every away game.

I love the fact that the formation and lineup is unpredictable each week - we have no idea who will play, how they will play and if it will work.

Certainly better than being predictable and dull... with the caveat that we gain enough points of course...

Looks like Gross - Mooy - Alzate behind Maupay. Shiny.

Burn will be left back in a 4-2-3-1 as far as I can see. But that is pure guess work. Could just as easily be 3-5-1-1.

100% this. Fascinating. Bit of a nightmare for the oppo manager as well.

Alzate is a midfielder. Looks like 4-2-3-1 to me

Just had to look up Alzate, apparently he's a forward but the way they announced the team he looked like he was going to be a wing back. Poor old Steve Bruce must be scratching his head.
