Nicolas Jackson is suspended after his first half red card at Newcastle last weekend, and with Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu ruled out; Pedro Neto should start up front on Friday night.
That would see Cole Palmer moved to the right and Enzo Fernandez pushed into the number 10 role, with Moises Caicedo moving back into midfield and Reece James potentially starting at right-back.
Jadon Sancho, meanwhile, is ineligible to face his parent club.
Manchester United

Leny Yoro was forced off in the second half of Sunday's 2-0 loss to West Ham and will be assessed, though is unlikely to be risked.
The likes of Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee and Diogo Dalot all continue to miss out.
Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount, Chido Obi, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof may all start at Stamford Bridge on Friday night.
