Goalkeeper and Defence
GK – Robert Sanchez – the keeper will be hoping to keep a clean sheet against an opponent who have not scored in the Champions League so far this season.
RB – Malo Gusto – the Frenchman is suspended for the Sunderland match this weekend after being sent off against Forest. He could start at right-back, with captain Reece James being rested.
CB – Josh Acheampong – the centre-back deserves to keep his place after two good performances.
CB – Tosin Adarabioyo – Trevoh Chalobah’s recent form has been poor, so the 28-year-old could return to the starting eleven after injury.
LB – Marc Cucurella – head coach Enzo Maresca could select Jorrel Hato to face his former club but he may not want to make too many changes to his back four.
