The Starting XI?

Here's what I think Bob Bradley will put out on the pitch come Saturday night...

-----------------------Howard-----------------------

--Cherundolo----Onyewu---Bocangera----Pearce--

----------------Bradley-------Kljestan-------------

----Dempsey---------Donovan---------Beasley----

-----------------------Ching-----------------------

It seems abundantly clear that Bob Bradley is going to go with a veteran line-up very similar, if not identical, to last month's team that earned an impressive victory against Trinidad & Tobago. We all know Tim Howard and the back four will remain untouched, while the Michael Bradley-Sacha Kljestan pairing will probably get another look in the center of the pitch to see if they can build on the strong performance put forth by both players in the 3-0 victory in September. As for attacking options, I see the trio of Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan, and DaMarcus Beasley playing as the attacking midfielders behind lone striker, Brian Ching.

I wouldn't be surprised if Maurice Edu got the nod over Kljestan, but with the way the Chivas USA midfielder hustled and the manner in which he linked up with Michael Bradley last month in Chicago, it appears Sacha starting is a foregone conclusion.

I could also see Josmer Altidore starting as the lone striker instead of Brian Ching, but there's little to no chance that Bob Bradley will leave the Houston Dynamo forward on the bench when the game kicks off. With that being said, if all goes according to plan, I see Altidore, Freddy Adu , and Jose Francisco Torres coming off the bench.

What Starting XI do you think Bob Bradley will go with? What would you like to see? Will Bob Bradley throw some of the youngsters onto the pitch? Edu or Sacha? Share your comments below.
