GK – Robert Sanchez – Maresca has already confirmed that the Spaniard will replace Filip Jorgensen for the Spurs game.

RB – Malo Gusto – with captain Reece James likely to be sidelined until January, the Frenchman is set for a long run in the team.

CB – Benoit Badiashile – the defender has moved back up the pecking order in recent weeks, having started against Leicester. He could be picked ahead of both Axel Disasi and Tosin Adarabioyo this weekend.

CB – Levi Colwill – the centre-back was rested for the Southampton fixture but he should return to the eleven for the London derby.

LB – Marc Cucurella – the defender seems to be one of the first names on the teamsheet these days.
