I like the look of that line up. Pleased to see Redmond on the bench and hopefully we may see Jarvis enter the fray instead of Redmond later.
 
Very narrow but looks like some sort of 4-3-3. Clearly trying to negate Stoke's midfielders, especially with the news that Shaqiri isn't available

You wouldn't play a 4-3-3 if you wanted to control midfield. It would be a 4-5-1. Which I think is what we are going to play.
 
Not unhappy about that. Agree it's narrow, but looks sensible and solid for such a hard trip, plus injections of pace against fatigue are open to us from the bench.
