Defence
Martin Dubravka made a couple of saves against Wolves and kept a clean sheet. He will be seen between the sticks again and will aim at repeating the same this weekend. Swedish defender Emil Krafth to walk into the XI as right-back Kieran Trippier suffered an injury.

Midfield
Defensive midfield Bruno Guimaraes will pair up with Joe Willock and Sean Longstaff to form the trio. However, Longstaff didn’t have a good impression last week and would like to have a better impact on the course of the game.
Attack
