Probable XI:
Senne Lammens: The young Belgian goalkeeper has earned the trust of his teammates with his excellent ball-playing ability; he will start to ensure a clean build-up under pressure.
Diogo Dalot: In full physical maturity, his ability to invert into midfield makes him indispensable in the current tactical structure.
Lisandro Martinez: “The Butcher” arrives in rising form; his leadership and aggressiveness in anticipation are vital to sustaining the high defensive line.
Harry Maguire: After solid performances and impeccable aerial dominance, he keeps his spot in the XI to bring the necessary experience on set pieces.
Luke Shaw: Recovered and providing that left-sided depth no one else offers, his start is key to widening the pitch and assisting the forwards.
Kobbie Mainoo: The midfield jewel remains undroppable for his vision and ability to break lines under extreme pressure.
Casemiro: He provides the defensive balance and hierarchy needed at the base of the triangle, allowing the interior players to join the attack freely.
Amad Diallo: His individual ability in one-on-one situations and his great run of form make him the main threat on the right wing.
Bruno Fernandes: The captain is the team’s creative engine; his presence is mandatory to connect the midfield with the new attacking duo.
Bryan Mbeumo: One of the most dynamic signings; he will start for his versatility and ability to punish space, which is so damaging in transitions.
Benjamin Sesko: The ideal target man; his imposing physique and goalscoring form make him the final piece to finish the crosses from Shaw and Bruno.
