4-2-3-1 for me, certainly against stronger sides, with Xhaka and Elneny. Jury's out still on Partey. Useful back-up when Granit suspended.
But why couldn't the Norgie drop back into MF like Santi did? He's more of a pre-assist anyway, while ESR is more likely to be further forward?

4-1-1-3-1. with Partey-MO-Saka/ESR/Marti or Pépé/Striker.
