Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Robert Sanchez – fans may not welcome the Spaniard’s return to the team but Maresca does tend to rotate his keepers for the cups.

RB – Josh Acheampong – we haven’t seen the teenager in action for several games so this could be a good opportunity for him to get some more minutes, with Reece James moving to the bench.

CB – Trevoh Chalobah – the centre-back is expected to be recalled after he was left out for the win over West Ham.

CB – Levi Colwill – the 21-year-old will be returning to the club where he spent a year on loan.

LB – Malo Gusto – the Frenchman may be asked to play out of position in order to give Marc Cucurella a rest.
