Goalkeeper and Defence
GK – Robert Sanchez – the keeper often struggles in big games, so we shall see which side of the bed he gets out of this time. Knowing the Spaniard, he will put in a great performance. If only he could more consistent.
RB – Reece James – The captain played very well against Arsenal, but this will be his second game in four days, so his load may need to be managed. Malo Gusto will be on standby.
CB – Wesley Fofana – the Frenchman has returned from his one-match suspension, so he could start in place of Mamadou Sarr.
CB – Trevoh Chalobah – the 26-year-old could line up against a former Chelsea teammate if Tammy Abraham starts ahead of Ollie Watkins.
LB – Jorrel Hato – Marc Cucurella is back in training, but he may only be fit enough for the bench, so Hato is set to keep his place for now.
