Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Robert Sanchez – after starting both the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final and the last league fixture against Brentford, it appears Rosenior has already decided on his number one.

RB – Josh Acheampong – Malo Gusto’s ongoing absence due to injury means the teenager could be given another start if captain Reece James is rested.

CB – Wesley Fofana – it was somewhat surprising that the 25-year-old didn’t start at the weekend, so he may get the nod on Wednesday night instead.

CB – Benoit Badiashile – a lot may depend on how many changes Rosenior wants to make but the Frenchman could come in for Trevoh Chalobah.

LB – Jorrel Hato – after scoring in the FA Cup with a fine volley, the Dutchman deserves another chance to show what he can do.
