Are we building up with a back 2 or is Phillips going to play a hybrid CB/DM role? I could be miles off but I feel like Kalvin is playing the unusual role that Rodri played against Chelsea.

Gomez high and wide to get the best out of Grealish. Cancelo inverting into midfield. Then that leaves Walker and Laporte at the back, who you can imagine splitting out wide into a back 3 with Phillips in the middle of them in certain situations, then Phillips pushes up.

I’m going to be miles off aren’t i? But that’s my genuine guess.

What a team! So dynamic and good blend of resting experienced players ahead of the derby and giving more minutes to players like Phillips, Gomez and Palmer.

Dare I say this means Lewis is starting at Old Trafford?

Also, excited again to see Phil in the middle, with Palmer in his natural wide right role.

I really can’t see us starting without Walker on Saturday against Rashford. Unless we use Walker in a back 3

Nice team, although surely Lewis doesn't start over Walker on Saturday? If there's one player in the league right now we need Walker against, it's Rashford.

Maybe Kyle was being rested until Stonesy picked up a niggle, he’s then thought putting Kyle in at Centre half is less strain than full back.
 
Presumably a back three of Walker, Laporte and Gomez when in possession with Cancelo pushed into the middle to support Kalvin.
