CB – Kalidou Koulibaly
With Thiago Silva sidelined, the Senegalese international has to take on greater responsibility as the senior centre-half.
Koulibaly freely admits that he has struggled to adapt to the Premier League but playing in a middle of a back three does help to hide his weaknesses.
Against Leeds, he made a couple of telling contributions and he will be looking for a similarly assured display this evening.
