- Nico Williams is also expected to return at left-back for the home side having started the FA Cup win over Ipswich on the bench.
Manchester City- With Manuel Akanji, John Stones and now Nathan Ake missing for Manchester City, Abdukodir Khusanov is expected to continue alongside Ruben Dias at the heart of the defence for the visitors.
- Rodri is also missing, but Pep Guardiola has hinted that he may return before the season ends, while Oscar Bobb is set to make a matchday squad for the first time this campaign sooner rather than later.
- Guardiola has selection issues at right-back, with Matheus Nunes and Rico Lewis battling to feature.
- Kevin De Bruyne may start in place of Savinho from the side that started the 1-0 win at Tottenham last week, with Omar Marmoush moving over to the left to accommodate the Belgian.
