RCM – Nabil Bentaleb
A difficult decision given Bentaleb has been sloppy so far this season. Ryan Mason could pip the Belgian to a starting place, but the latter is certainly the superior midfielder when on top form.
LCM – Eric Dier
The 21-year-old has been handed a new defensive midfield role, and looks to be settling into this position with ease. If his performances continue, he could be close to earning his first call up to the senior England side.
