Koeman will make limited changes to the side from last weekend’s dramatic 3-2 win away at Valencia, but return of Danish international Braithwaite gives him an attacking option to turn to off the bench in this game as per reports from Marca.

French star Ousmane Dembele is expected to come back into the line up, after appearing as a substitute last time out as Koeman reverts to a four man defensive unit against Los Rojiblancos.
