This is how we could line up in City’s formation if everyone was fit and available ( and KT wasn’t on loan).
Raya (Ramsdale)
Tomi - Saliba - Gabriel ( Timber- Kiwior- Tierney)
White (Partey)
Saka-Ode- Rice -Martinelli (Nelson-Zinchenko-Viera/Jorginho-ESR)
Havertz -Jesus (Trossard - Eddie)
Some changes that could be made
1)You could pair Martinelli with Jesus by taking out Havertz and playing Trossard/ESR/Nelson on the left.
2)You could start Zinchenko alongside Rice and pair Ode with Jesus by taking out Havertz.
3)You could pair Ode and Partey, with Rice behind instead of White,in which case the back 3 would be White-Saliba-Gabi.
Not advocating us to copy City’s system,just something that came randomly to my mind.But I’m ngl, I would love to see us pair Martinelli and Jesus up top like City do with Haaland and KDB/Alvarez.Obviously it isn’t the same,but that partnership through the middle could be fire.(that last UCL game gave us a small glimpse of this).
