I would go with the following presuming everyone is ok minus Hall, Browne and Fletcher. Think Howson fit enough for the bench

Bettinelli

Dijksteel
Fry
McNair
Bola

Morsy
Saville
Tavernier

Watmore
Akpom
Johnson

Subs - Archer, Wood, Spence, Coulson, Howson, Wing, Hackney, Roberts, Assombalonga,

I'd agree unless Howson is absolutely fit, then I would swap him for Saville.
 
I'd play Morsy over Saville everyday of the week.

I would go Saville just cos I think he’s a goal threat and brings a Bit of height. Prefer Morsy in the deeper role but I think Howson better there so for me he wouldn’t be in my first choice 3. I think Warnocks first choice 3 will include all of them though and Tav pushed out wide
 
Against a weaker team like Birmingham, I’d give Spence another chance as he has too much potential to keep him on the bench for extended spells of the season. Lots of mobility with this front 4.

GK: Bettinelli
RB: Dijksteel
CB: Fry
CB: Mcnair
LB: Bola
CM: Morsy if no Howson
CM: Saville
AM: Tavernier
LM: Johnson
RM: Spence
ST: Watmore
 
I think it would be very dangerous to think of Birmingham or any team in this League as weaker, just look at Millwall the other night.
Need to prepare for a battle against Aitor, it won't be easy.
 
NW said Fletch was ahead of schedule that was around Xmas time.

The CV19 business last week and this week may not have helped his development though if all the players have been at home.
 
Cannot see Akpom or Brit not starting. If that is the case one or both needs to go.
Watmore has proved he can do everything Britt and Akpom can do and a whole lot more so I wouldn’t play either of them and get more legs in the team in the form of Spence. Even when Spence is not on form he still puts himself about and impacts the game.
