Hate the numbered order of the tweet. Doesn't smell right.

Pogba on the left in a 4-2-3-1 I think.

Or a diamond

Don’t see it myself. Last few times when Fred/Mctominay have been on Pogba has played left.

4222. Yes!

You could argue that its actually an 3-2-2-2 with the fourth defender beeing counted as part of the next lineup.

DDG

AWB Bailly Maguire Shaw

Mctominay

Fred ------ Pogba

Bruno

Rashford Martial

I don't like diamond a d 2 up top, it means zero width

berbatrick · Jan 1, 2021

Diamond? Pogba LW? 4222? I doon't get it.

Bebestation · Jan 1, 2021

I think it's a diamond to stop the central play of Grealish, watkins and Mginn in central areas.

It's an overload in central areas.

We have two defensive full backs as well in Wan Bissaka and Shaw to stop the situation whenever Grealish or the other players drifts out wide.

Haha, brilliant comment

Trequarista10 · Jan 1, 2021

Put your diamonds away, it'll be Pogba LW, Rashford RW.

It’s extremely annoying that they are lining up the players by numbers!

jderbyshire · Jan 1, 2021

I imagine Fred will be the one trying to keep Grealish quiet, making him the de factor base of the diamond.

Member 21058 · Jan 1, 2021

Any Villains on here know how they will line-up?

Sandikan · Jan 1, 2021

As we have no right winger and Greenwood hasn't hit the heights this season, it'd be great if we can find a way to fit the defensive masterclass McFred in but still have Pogba and Bruno in there.

Let's see if we;ve found the right balance today.

I dare say all of our centre mid guys will share the hacking Grealish duties

With Mctominay in right-central midfield? Not sure about that to be honest.

Annihilate Now! · Jan 1, 2021

I think Pogba might be wide left.

Was it the PSG game where we took mctominay out of the base and switched him with Fred and it was awful?

Fred’s first touch isn’t good enough and it takes away his best qualities.

Bastian · Jan 1, 2021

I am not a fan of this selection, but I'd prefer it to be Rashford and Pogba out of position either side of Martial, than a diamond with no width.

We absolutely need McTominay and Fred, their midfield works hard as f.

McTominay is probably the better man-marker, while Fred is the more all-action pressing machine.

Berbasbullet · Jan 1, 2021

Hope Ole has nailed it.

Sassy Colin · Jan 1, 2021

10/11, I had Greenwood, Ole went for the diamond.

We have such depth now, such an exciting squad. I feel really confident about this evening.

Isn’t that the way it’s always been done. Certainly the back of the match day program always had it that.

I can't remember, take your word for it though.

I'd be more comfortable with Fred alongside Pogba as he can make up for the latter's lack of pressing.

Might not even be a diamond, never can tell with Ole.

McT and Fred dmc. Bruno and Pogba amc. Just guessing

PoTMS · Jan 1, 2021

I've got a bad feeling about this one. Feel like both claret and blue teams will do the dippers a favour tonight.

9/11 had pogba on the bench.

So 10/11?

stu_1992 · Jan 1, 2021

Diamond it is then. Strong looking team. Jeez a win here to go joint top would be beautiful. Here's hoping it happens.

It is, we need a bunch of thousand comments to that tweet so the idiot in design can stop it!

RedIan · Jan 1, 2021

Looks a strong team, maybe a lack of width? 10/11 for me. I put mata on the right a benched pogba.

Pexbo · Jan 1, 2021

I haven’t had these sort of nerves or this sort of competitive interest in one of our matches for a long long time.

Not online.

always_hoping · Jan 1, 2021

So 4 changes to the starting 11 from the Wolves game.

Out Telles, Matic, Greenwood, Cavani

In Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Martial

Villa whom had the one extra day rest with just 1 change with Tyrone Mings returning from a one-game ban.

Chill. We're gonna do this.

SirAnderson · Jan 1, 2021

How we feeling for this one then lads and lasses?

Poborsky's hair · Jan 1, 2021

Strongest 11 we can line up with. Midfield battle ahead, hopefully we press well to stay on their half. We will create chances for sure, so up to our strikers to convert them. Confident defensively with McFred and with Bailly next to Maguire.

Will be a good contest, let's hope the lads went to bed early yesterday.

Red For Ever · Jan 1, 2021

My first ever 11/11

Always 8 or 9, and one 10/11 I think

A good sign, I hope !
