Gruev has played loads this pre-season and it's looking like he is not getting sold. It will be really interesting to see who starts against Everton."I think something like Longstaff, Stach and Ampadu will play in the difficult games, and something like Ampadu, Stach and Tanaka or maybe even Aaaronson will play in the games that we think we might win."What do you think the midfield will look like?
