Midfield
Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka have emerged as the sure-fire starters at the base of the midfield. The former gives protection to the defence while the later dictate the tempo from the deep. Guendouzi, who scored his debut goal for the club against Qarabag, will start from the bench.
The No.10 role was Aaron Ramsey’s so far. However, the Spanish head coach might tinker with the idea of giving Mesut Ozil, his favourite position. Ramsey, who is set to walk away from the club at the end of the season, might be phased out of the club slowly and might be dropped to the bench against Fulham.
