Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Filip Jorgensen- the Dane may be handed another start after a decent showing versus Djurgarden, with Robert Sanchez having sustained a knock against Everton.

RB – Moises Caicedo – with Malo Gusto not fully fit and Maresca seemingly reluctant to use James as a fullback, the midfielder could start on the right-hand side of defence again.

CB – Trevoh Chalobah – the centre-back’s impressive form has moved him up the pecking order in recent weeks.

CB – Levi Colwill – the 22-year-old has found things more difficult than his centre-half partner but he remains a regular starter.

LB – Marc Cucurella – the fact that the fullback was substituted at half-time on Thursday suggests he was being saved for this match.
