AVB pretty much consistently picked one of Parker and Sandro throughout last season. Parker started most pre-season games up to the Espanyol game. I would expect us to start with a defensive midfielder and I see Paulinho more as a box to box player. I hope it's Sandro if one of him and Parker are to start.
I'm almost certain Soldado will start though.
SO EXCITED FOR SUNDAY. I'd line-up like this, assuming all are healthy.
-------HUGO----------
KW--Daws--Kab -- Rose
THEBEAST--Pauly--Dembele
Chadli--SOLDADO---Gareth
If Kab injured, I'd throw Fryers in there, see how he does. If no Sandro, I'd go 4-2-3-1 w/ Dembele holding w/ Paulinho and Siggurdson in behind Soldado. If no Bale, Lennon plz.
