Forwards
RW – Pedro Neto – Noni Madueke is currently in possession of the jersey for league games but the Portuguese international can stake his claim for more minutes by impressing in the Conference League.
CF – Christopher Nkunku – the forward has 6 goals in 9 appearances this season so he can’t do much more to catch the eye.
Nkunku will be hoping if he gets on the scoresheet again versus Gent, it will persuade Maresca to start him at the weekend against Nottingham Forest too.
LW – Mykhailo Mudryk – the Ukrainian looked lively against Barrow but consistency is the key for him if he wants to start ahead of Jadon Sancho.
