With Reece James out, what is our likiest line up for tonight's game?
3 at the back seems to be the likeliest option in my opinion.

With Ziyech and CHO unlikely to start tonight i'd agree 3 at the back might be the best way to go. Bit of a headache who Frank will leave out though. I'd be interested to see Giroud and Werner play as a pair, but IMO Pulisic needs to start as he brings something different to the team being so direct.

Who plays wingback, not sure Azpilicueta will get up and down the pitch for 90mins as a wingback.
I think he'll stick with 4-3-3, simply replace James with Azpilicueta, but a midfield diamond version of a 4-4-2 could work. Jorginho or Gilmour sitting, Kante and Mount (or Kovacic) as the eights with Havertz at the point in the number ten role. Have two up top with Werner playing off either Giroud or Abraham.

@J:
I agree, we have no one playing as RWB. I was hoping CHO is fit enough to play that role, but even then he might not be good for that role.
I don't want to see 433 against WHU, so I'd say maybe 4231 or 442 diamond isn't a bad idea at this point.
I'd also like to see FL playing a front 3 of Werner, Puli and Havertz. It would be interesting to see what they would do together.

Mendy
Azpi Zouma Silva Chilwell
Kante
Kovacic Mount
Pulisic
Werner Giroud.

Graham I agree mate been saying that formation for a while.

That's very nice, but I wouldn't start Giroud, either Tammy or Kai.
