I think Ndombele will be used more as an impact player at first given his preseason has been limited. Would be a big statement to start him today.I’m intrigued to see what formation José will have us lined up in, if it’s a 4-3-3 i can see ndombele get a start next to høibjerg and Sissoko, if it’s a 4-2-3-1 it’ll probably be son-Alli-Moura behind kane.
The 4-2-3-1 you list looks the most likely to me. Though Bergwijn might be selected.
Will be interesting to see our centre back pairing, and if it's Doherty or Aurier. Could see a back three given uncertainties about Winks, Lo Celso and Ndombele, but it would surprise me.
