4-2-2-2 Flat Any advice please?

Never seen this formation before. I have a top of the table clash with my nemesis of the last two seasons and the result will go a long way to deciding the title. I am at home and our teams are evenly matched. In the past he has gone 4-2-2-2 hexagon but I had great success defeating that, now for the change in tactic. I was going to play 3N-2dmc-2mc-2 (aml amr)-ST. Its a very narrow formation and believe with the three defenders and and two defensive midfielders will nullify all his attacking threat. Has anyone got any better ideas? I always start defensive and adapt orders to the flow of the game.

Cheers in advance, Agrippa
