In the goalkeeping position, Liu Dengzuo is naturally the main keeper guarding the goal of Wuhan Sanzhen; in the backline, as usual, coach Pedro should continue to sacrifice his usual three center backs formation. The three center backs are expected to be Zhang Xiaobin, Liu Yiming and Gao Junyi.
In the midfield, unsurprisingly, the main back responsible for intercepting and sweeping Wuhan Sanzhen's center back will be former Evergrande iron back He Chao; the double back combination with He Chao should be ace foreigner Stancho. It is expected that the talented young player Xu Hao Yang in the double back U23 position will work with Deng Hanwen as a free man in the midfield. He can attack and act as a winger; retreat can defend and act as a winger, playing an important role in the transition between attack and defense.
In the forward line, there is no doubt that the natural one to charge for the three Wuhan towns up front is Malcolm; the strongest trident up front would be Malcolm's two Brazilian villagers, Davidson and Edmilson.
To summarize, the expected starting lineup for Wuhan Three Town against Shandong Luneng is:Liu Dianzuo; Zhang Xiaobin, Liu Yiming, Gao Zhunyi; Deng Hanwen, He Chao, Stanchu, Xu Hoyang (U23); Malcolm, Davidson, Edmilson
