I would use 4-1-3N-2
DL - DC - DC - DR
DMC
MC MC MC
ST ST

DL-DC-DR-DMC(Blue arrow) MC MC MC(NO arrows) ST(Red Arrow)
Normal/Mixed/Whole pitch/Normal/Mixed/Zonal .. no force counter and no offside trap

I played a game using this formating against a player using the same formation as your opponent and I won big time.

Please note that it's not a 100% win but I would defiantly use that formation against 4-2-3-1.

Good luck.
