Graham Potter has made three changes to the team that drew with West Ham at the weekend. In come Kalidou Koulibaly, Hakim Ziyech and Ben Chilwell. Out go Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke and Marc Cucurella.
“It is the first time that Chilwell and Reece James have started a game together since the win over AC Milan in the San Siro in October.
There will be hope that having the first-choice full-backs in tandem will make a difference to the fluency of the team.
