Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Robert Sanchez – Maresca has made it clear that the Spaniard is his No.1 goalkeeper.

RB – Reece James – the captain came off at halftime versus LAFC which suggests he was being saved for the Flamengo game.

CB – Trevoh Chalobah – Tosin had a ropey start to the opening fixture and Maresca may opt to drop him in favour of the England international.

CB – Levi Colwill – Benoit Badiashile will likely get a run-out against ES Tunis, but Colwill will stay in the side for this match.

LB – Marc Cucurella – the left-back continues to produce great performances.
