This is my guess at the lineup that Arena will have
Arena tinkered with a 4-3-3 often in camp. I think he is comfortable using beasley as LB (although I would rather see Villafaña get a shot at LB). I was hoping Rosenberry would get a shot at RB, but with him gone, it pretty much Zusi as the only option. Birnbaum, Zimmerman, and Marshall will all get time at CB between the two games so who knows who starts first game.
Bradley is a sure starter at DMID. And Jones will be in the lineup somewhere. Kljestan has performed well when paired with Bradley, so I think it will be Bradley and Kljestan in structured roles, with Jones as a roaming destroyer. Feilhaber and Nagbe will get a shot, but I dont think they start in this game.
Altidore is for sure a starter at ST. Arena said Lletget performed well in camp, so I think he will get a start. And Morris is player with a lot of up side, so I think he will start
I think Bedoya will start, but I just cant think of where he would fit...
