Goalkeeper and Defence
GK – Robert Sanchez – Filip Jorgensen is unlikely to be available, so this is an easy call to make.
RB – Malo Gusto – similarly to Sanchez, Gusto’s inclusion seems likely with captain Reece James still injured.
CB – Josh Acheampong – the 19-year-old deserves another chance to impress despite some difficult recent outings.
CB – Benoit Badiashile – Wesley Fofana and Tosin Adarabioyo are not playing well, and with Trevoh Chalobah on the sidelines, Badiashile could get the nod.
LB – Marc Cucurella – the Spaniard provides a lot more security than Jorrel Hato down the left flank.
