I use 3n-1-4-2/3n-5-2 V-style against narrow formations with an AMC and less than 3 ST. Either of the previously mentioned or 3-5-2 flat against narrow formations with 3 MC's and less than 3 strikers.
EDIT: I never use 3 defenders when playing defensively against any narrow formation. Its always either 4-1-4-1 or 4-5-1 V when I want to play defense and counter-attack.
