Midfield pair Pape Matar Sarr and James Maddison are suspended on Wednesday night but Rodrigo Bentancur, who was banned at the weekend, comes into the midfield, while Yves Bissouma also starts as Dejan Kulusevski lines up in the front three.

Spurs captain Heung-min Son, who did not start on Saturday, returns to the front three, with Timo Werner making way.

Defenders Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven, Ben Davies (all hamstring) and Cristian Romero (quad) are sidelined, along with Wilson Odobert (hamstring).

Mikey Moore is on the bench after returning to training following an extended period on the sidelines through illness.

Richarlison is also back in training but not ready to be involved in the match-day squad following a hamstring problem.
