How to beat 4-5-1 flat

[Adam Marszał]

Hi
I'm faicing 4-5-1 tomorrow in a cup.
I'm batter than him. I was thinking more about 3-4-1-2 or 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 flat as you've suggested but what orders in that formation (Attack from middle and sides to defend his wingers?)

Beat fire with fire. If your Q is better, u too play 4-5-1 flat. if not, then 4-1-3N-1-1 can be tried with defensive, passing through the middle, zonal marking, mixed passes(even long, doesn't matter), pressing whole pitch(to make possession). No counter or offside trap. AMC, ST, DL, DR on red arrows, DMC on blue. If losing, place MCs on red arrows or let them be as it is.

Thanks!
The game is within an hour so we will see. I'm got a better team but to be honest I'm thinking mostly about 4-4-1-1. What's your opinion about that?

3W-1-4-1-1 is even better. You don't really need 4 in the back for this one.
