This Pundits view of the ‘starting 11’ for this weekend…

Given what we know about health issues…
Perkins
Jewsbury
Futty
Horst
Smtih
Zizzo
Chara
Nagbe
Songo’o
Fucito or Mwanga (I favor Fucito – love his energy – get their back four tired quickly)
Boyd

Subs data not available and unclear at this time but I imagine we will see Alexander and Mwanga for sure – not clear on what defensive subs might occur and that could depend on the half-time score; if we are behind we will probably do what we did in LA – convert to floating 3-5-2 or 3-4-3; if we are ahead probably convert to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-2-1.

I am not familiar enough with Chabala to know if he can come in and play right back; unclear on the speed of Purdy but his size is good; Baptiste is also a possibility if the confidence is there for his mental approach.
