CB – Kalidou Koulibaly
The Senegalese international was the worst performer in an inexperienced backline during the humbling defeat at the Etihad last Sunday.
Potter would have been hoping that Koulibaly could lead by example but he continues to make rash decisions, epitomised by his foul for the second penalty. Chalobah could well be selected ahead of him at Craven Cottage but the Senegalese international may get one final chance.
