Still think we look our best playing a diamond this pre season, especially until CHO is back.

Kepa

Azpi  Christensen  Luiz  Emerson

Jorginho

Kovacic      Mount

Barkley

Tammy    Batshuayi

Pulisic could play in place of either Mount or Barkley imo.

Problem with this is zero width frank likes to overload the wings and it seems that is the key to modern football, CHO wouldn’t fit in this either. 

The big call is starting with Geroud or Tammy. Going with Geroud wuold be a bit predictable and safe, so i hope Tammy gets the nod. Also like to see Pulasic start the match.

Batshuayi.

We're away to United so I think we will be looking to avoid defeat,  consequently, we'll go with a solid 4-2-3-1 formation (Giroud up front only because he offers most defensively):

                                  Kepa

Dave           Zouma          Luiz           Emerson

                     Kante          Jorginho

Willian                 Barkley                  Pulisic

                             Giroud

Generally I would go Abraham up front and when fit I expect CHO and RLC to come into the team.  I hope the likes of Reece get game time too.

I think for this match we need more pace than Giroud will give us, so Tammy or Bats would be our best starter.

I really hope we don't go into the match with that kind of dreadfully negative Jose plan. We're not going to win or challenge for the titlle this season, but we can start doing what City and Liverpool do, which is to go out and try to win every game, home and away.
