    There have been rumours that MLS might be played in Midfield (maybe with Tierney at left back but probably Zinchenko if the case ) with Rice playing the 6 role.

    I don’t know if Calafiori is fit but actually having him and MLS start in such a circumstance might work. Having them dovetail could be good. MLS did well moving into central midfield against Real Madrid in the first leg

    Cala can't defend but happy to see him further up if it keeps Zin off the pitch, so my preference would be him in MF and MLS at LB

    Not sure that now is the time to experiment with MLS in MF. For me Trossard (who has been on form recently) in for Merino up front, with Merino dropping into attacking MF and Rice at 6. Least disruption.

    If Merino is fit, yes absolutely, I think the question was what we'd do if he wasn't

    That said I don't think MLS in MF is that experimental, it's actually his original position, we've just refashioned him as an LB this season

    A lot of young midfielders get played at left back because it’s considered safer for them there rather than central midfield where they lack the wherewithal, the technical ability etc to play central midfield. MLS played well against Real Madrid but would be interesting to see if he could handle the premier league there

    Fairs re the question. Re MLS though, while he has advanced into MF from LB plenty, lets face it he hasn't even played that many games for us at LB let alone starting in an unfamiliar position in this team in this season's most important game. It's not only the position, its the relationships with the players around him playing it that is just as important. With PSG's ferocious press, the last think I would do is introduce any unfamiliarity for him for this game.

    On the topic of PSG’s ferocious press…I’d allow them to tire themselves out with it….they couldn’t maintain the intensity level either at Anfield or Villa Park. First half soak up the pressure, second half give them a bloody nose
