I have no idea how we are going to line up Sunday.

Lambert is giving nothing away in the pressers. (as per normal)

He did mention that its a totally different game to Wigan.

Does he go with Holt and Morrison again so they can help at set plays?

Would he bring in Johnson to add a bit of a "nasty streak" needed in this game (I think he will)

What about Naughton, does he get a start after RM didnt have his best game against Wigan?

One interesting option Lambert tried in pre season was playing 1 striker with Hoolahan just behind

Have to think the reason they tried it was for a game like this one.

Something like this........

----------------------Ruddy-------------------

R Martin------De Laet-----Barnett------Tierney

Bennett------Crofts-------Johnson---------Surman

---------------------Hoolahan-------------------

----------------------Holt------------------------

He could play Crofts or Fox in the right sided midfield spot.

Crofts and especially Johnson would sit deeper to give more protection to the back 4.
