Asmir Begovic, who deputised against Newcastle, does not make the bench as he is unwell.

Andros Townsend starts against his former club, with Demarai Gray given a breather.

Jonjoe Kenny also comes in after serving a one-match ban. Alex Iwobi, who was the hero in the Newcastle win when he netted in the ninth minute of stoppage-time, drops out.

Unsurprisingly, Andre Gomes fills the void of Allan in midfield. The Brazilian was sent off against Newcastle and is serving the first of a three-match suspension.
