I'd like to see this line-up:

Butland
Adamarola, Tompkins, Guehi, Clyne,
Eze, Kouyate, Gallagher,
Zaha, Edouard, Olise

I think that sees our 5 best attackers on the pitch in Eze, Gallagher and the front three.

Think you've got your left & right's mixed up.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

I'd like to see:

.................Guaita

Clyne....Andersen......Guehi....Adaramola

............Kouyate...Hughes

..Olise............Eze........Zaha

...............Edouard

I'd like to see the front four have licence to interchange positions constantly.

I know Gallagher is one of our best players but I think this is a good opportunity to also prepare for life without him and give minutes to Eze. I think Olise is probably better through the middle but Eze and Zaha both prefer the left hand side. Clynes ability to overlap though, should allow Olise to drift inside more.

I don't think Eze can play in a midfield 3 without forcing Gallagher to play deeper which then nullifies one of his key strengths of arriving in the box late, otherwise you leave the other CM too exposed.

Then after 60 mins you can bring Eze off, if he's flagging, for Gallagher and revert to 4-3-3

Man United?

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I think we should play our strongest team. If we then get a 2 goal cushion we can look to change things. So the team that started against Watford last week for me.

Not bothered, I'm overly confident tonight which is a rare thing, we have too much quality but we are also a hard team go beat, I'm expecting a similar game to Millwall, maybe competitive for the first 45 mins but after halftime our quality will see us through.
