I can't see Hughton messing around with formations too much, he didn't during the preseason games, so it'll probably be a 4-4-1-1......
Subs: Maenppa, Rosenior, Propper, Hemed, Knockaert, Murphy, Hunemeier
I think it might be a bit too soon to see Propper start so Sidwell gets the spot alongside Stephens in Kayal's absence. Rosenior can cover both full back positions so he gets the nod in front of Bong on the bench.
