Other than Lindelof at rb, I quite like the look of this team with Jesse being on form.

Why put Lindelof at right back, especially with Mata on the right? Screams no balance.
Other than that, team picked itself really.
The lads need a performance.Mkhitaryan on the bench
Had no idea he could even play there. All good then.
Distinct lack of pace to say the very least.Wow, I wonder how many guessed Lindelöf as rightback.Oval pegs and round holes.
Considering our previous 4 years it's our best team.Glad Martial is starting. Since Jones is made of glass, I suppose Jose didn't want to start him considering the next game's on Tuesday. Lindelof usually does well with Smalling beside him, so hopefully we can withstand Leicester's pace.
EDIT: Just saw. Misread the XI. Jones and Lindelof? Lindelof at RB?
My predicted line up sucks per usual. I am ok with the team. Just need to keep Mahrez and Vardy quiet and we should be fine. Good test of character this game for our lads.I like Lindelöf starting. The rest of the team was obvious apart from maybe Rashford or Martial starting as it have been all season. Young could have done well at right back though, but neither Shaw nor Rojo has impressed me.I think Lindelof at right back is a good sign. It shows that the relationship between him and the manager is getting better. Because earlier on in the season Lindelof was not allowed into the first team for a PL game.
Mourinho could have easily played Ashley Young at RB and Rojo and LB, because those are both players he trusts.10/11. Lindelof at RB tripped me up.Wrong formation, though.Our FB options are truly abysmal.
I doubt you will be the last this evening.
You can say that again.
I don't his inclusion at all. Leicester are not really a big team. They do have blistering pace up top and in wide areas, though. Surely Young and Shaw would have been more ideal, or even Young at right back, with Rojo on the left.No Shaw is a real shame. Starting to disagree with an increasing number of Mou’s moves, but he knows best.Glad Mkhitaryan made the bench.
After what happened last week I don't think we'll be seeing Rojo at LB for a while.
You said wonder how many guessed Lindelof at right back. Regardless of whether it was the wrong formation or not, @Longlivekeano still guessed correctly.
Shaw is still shaky defensively. Fact is, Mourinho doesn't dare to trust him yet against Vardy and Mahrez.
Anything but Rojo at left back. He's invariably terrible there.
Against Mahrez, it was always a doubt. Maybe we should be thankful Rojo isn't starting either.
Could still be a 3-5-2 although I doubt Lingard will play as a wingback after having done well as a number 10.I am literally the worst at predicting the lineup. I consider it a win if I get 6/11
Of course.
Shaw’s on the bench so has come out of the Bristol defeat with more credit than Darmian at least!
True. Same thing could happen today with Lindelof, though. It's clear they're not full backs. I worry about Lindelof lining up against, what I assume will be Demari Gray.Is this Pogba's first start as captain?
Really? De Gea, Jones, Smalling, Young, Matic, Pogba, Lukaku seemed very obvious today. Then you got Mata, Lingard, Martial and Rashford. Pick 3 of them and you will normally have at least 2 correct answers more.
He was captain in our last game.I hope Pogba's set his alarm for this one.Why would they not start Okazaki for this? He offers them so much, plus he's perfect against bigger opponents.
Ye, I doubt that too.
He played all of the league cup game.- Status
