Goalkeeper - Probably Button, seems the number 1 spot is his to lose.
Defence - Furlong and Townsend locked in to start. Likely to be Ajayi and Dara unless a new centre half comes in, Bartley's short on minutes and from what I've seen hasn't looked convincing in pre-season (personally not really surprised at that, I don't really rate Bartley).
Midfield - Swift looks a certainty behind the striker, as does Wallace on the right. Grady's looked sharp but could well be Grant starting on the left, if Robinson is still here he's likely to come off from the bench. Not really sure which two out of Livermore, TGH, Molumby and Mowatt will make up the rest, I'd imagine Molumby and Livermore but jury's out on that one. Be very surprised if we see Yokuslu before Sheffield United in the League Cup.
Striker - Can't see Grant being deployed up top so likely Dike. Unless Zohore comes good?
Would like to see at least 4 players in before the end of the window: a centre half as we now seem a bit light there, full back cover, cover for Swift and a striker. Ideally another full back and a right winger as well but I'll be surprised if we get 4 let alone 6. First XI is looking a lot more balanced than last season already though which is encouraging, the midfield especially.
