With our first competitive game being a week away, how do you predict we line up in the first game? There are several positions that pick themselves, with the main questions being our right back, midfield pairing with Morgan, and the wingers. I believe Koeman will play a 4-3-3 selecting Pickford, Baines, Keane, Williams, Martina, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Klaassen, Sandro, Rooney, and Mirallas. Starting the season positively is crucial so I see him playing an experienced team, with playing more of the youngsters in the second leg if we have a comfortable lead.

Denver blue - I think your predicted lineup is a pretty good guess. It'll be interesting to see who is on the subs' bench.

I think he will go with 3 at the back
Pickford
Holgate Williams Keane
Lennon Davies Schneiderlin Gauye baines
Rooney Sandro
Or if he doesn't it will be 4.3.3.
Pickford
Martina Williams Keane Baines
Schneiderlin Guaye Davies
Rooney Sandro Klaasen
Subs:
Stekelenberg Holgate Besic McCarthy Lookman DCL Mirralas.

I'm not sure he will start Pickford or Sandro as they have had no game time with the rest of the squad although they might play on Saturday I would assume RK will think Stekelenburg is good enough against this opposition in the 3rd qualifying round and may start Mirallas, Rooney and Klassen the front 3 with the option of introducing Sandro in the second half.
Just my take on it.
