Palhinha already played CB against Doncaster, so he could well play there again. Or it could be Gray at LB with the other defenders in their normal positions.

Is it 3-5-2?
Didn't someone say he's injured?Dier scores the winner what’s the chances
Grey back to playing midfield, isn't he?
But I have to say, I am EXTREMELY dissapointed in Frank for putting again Palhinha-Bentancur duo out there.
Bentancur these days is total fucking shit. Nothing player. Deadbeat. Defensively missing, clinically afraid of the ball, shortest and safest passing only. WHY ? Why start him and Palhinha together? He literally doesn't even solidify defense.
I mean we became even more defensive now- instead of just Palhinha-Benta CM duo we now took proper #10 out and started with extra #8.
Gonna be painful watching. But hope we can clinch it somehow.

From TwitX:
Man City didn't beat them and we have no automatic right to, especially with a final third game that's in the sewer compared to City's treasures up front.
I'm looking for continual signs that we're building as Frank has planned out.
Because this is all going to take time, retuning players and additional resources, to come together properly.
People need to sort their heads out and gain some perspective on where we are in this transitional phase we're in + current squad scope/ability.
The wild hysteria (not pointing finger at you, specifically) has got to stop.
We're at the beginning of something new.
This team looks like a total experiment
Gray will be left back

What a piss weak bench that is
Injured kicking a rival fan?Dier scores the winner what’s the chances
Checks team sheet after being stuck on 150k lines of broken code.
Re-opens broken app for something simpler to focus on.

How the FUCK have we ended up in the position of having gray as a CB again. Ffs
It doesn't always take a season to recognise something obvious. Laughable to suggest you wouldn't swap Richy for Woltemade today if offered.
