Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Senne Lammens – it would be harsh to criticise the Belgian for the two goals conceded against Fulham, but he will be keen to secure a clean sheet this weekend.

RB – Diogo Dalot – Noussair Mazraoui was arguably at fault for Fulham’s second goal after failing to close down Kevin, so Dalot is expected to keep his place.

CB – Harry Maguire – the centre-back may have given away a penalty in his last game, but Matthijs de Ligt is still not ready to start matches, so the 32-year-old should retain the jersey.


CB – Lisandro Martinez – the defender has played admirably since returning from a serious knee injury.

LB – Luke Shaw – the leftback seems to be thriving when asked to play just once a week.
