Basing this on who we currently have fit, plus the likely additions of Rogers (now confirmed) and Bowler.
MA seems to want to play 4 at the back if at all possible, so in CC's absence Lyons into RB and a combination of Marv/JT/Hubby and Hubby/Dom almost picks itself right now.
We have 4 "forwards" to pick from. He's been able to keep them all as happy as possible recently by playing them out of position. But whether he plays a straightforward 433 or goes more like 4231 then he's surely got some interesting and difficult selection choices coming.
if Bowler's here he'll start in one of the wide slots. If Rogers is fit he'll probably get the other, or maybe CJ if it needs to be split. Poveda has made himself more or less undroppable in a free role behind the front. Whoever the two CMs are - Patino, Dougall, Bridcutt (one day) etc. doesn't really come into this.
He's going to have four blokes for one central attacking spot, and who he chooses will really affect how the team's going to play. Going to be very hard to keep them all happy now.
