@ Sunderland AFC · Sat, Sep 12, 2:00 PM CDT · likely 3-2-5

Deep 5-4-1, rare jumps. Weak side: Half-spaces between wing-back and wide 4.

1. Sunderland will park a 5-4-1 and play for a moment.
2. Half-spaces between wing-back and wide centre-back are the entry.
3. Patience. This is a cut-back and set-piece game, not a transition game.

5. Do not overcommit both fullbacks. One stay, one invert.
6. Merino for the box after 60 if it is tight.
7. Travel + early kickoff. Minutes management on Saka if the game is won.
8. Second balls at our corners are more valuable than the first header.
