Goalkeeper and Defence
GK – Filip Jorgensen – Robert Sanchez is going through concussion protocol, so the Dane may get the nod.
RB – Josh Acheampong – surely Malo Gusto has to be dropped after another poor performance? Acheampong deserves some minutes, at the very least, especially as Reece James is not ready to start yet.
CB – Wesley Fofana – the Frenchman has been poor, but so have Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo.
CB – Jorrel Hato – the Dutchman has been the best of a bad bunch of centre-backs over the past few weeks.
LB – Marc Cucurella – the left-back hasn’t been much better than Gusto on the opposite flank in all honesty, but there is not much competition for his place.
