Unai Emery will set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to ask his players to keep a good shape at the back and cause some headaches for the opposition defenders on the counter.
Erik ten Hag will probably opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation and could instruct his men to create enough decent opportunities in the final third to win this league contest on the road.
