The visitors come out with a strong lineup, with Kevin De Bruyne starting underneath Charles De Ketelaere, Man City’s Jérémy Doku and Alexis Saelemaekers on the wings.
The US lists its lineups in numerical order, so the big question given the personnel is what sort of look we’ll see from the US on the field.
The match notes says that Mark McKenzie and Tim Ream are “partnered together in central defense,” which indicates it’ll be a four-man backline with Antonee Robinson at left back.
Who will be at right back? The most likely option would seem to be Tim Weah, who plays something resembling that role often at Marseille (though not usually in a four-man backline).
The rest of the lineup is a bit more easy to parse. Johnny Cardoso and Tanner Tessmann form a likely double-pivot. Attacking midfield will be some arrangement of Weston McKennie, Christian Pulisic, and Malik Tillman. And then Folarin Balogun gets the start up top.
