Pep Guardiola will name a 4-2-3-1 formation on the paper. However, we all know that full-backs will join the attack whenever possible. They will look to keep the ball and two or three goals to secure the domestic title.

On the other hand, David Moyes should also name a 4-2-3-1 lineup. He will instruct his men to bring back the numbers while defending and maintaining shape. However, they are clinical in transition, especially from the left wing.
