Team News:
With Levi Colwill out for the season after tearing his ACL, Chalobah and Tosin are in line to start at centre-back.
Maresca, speaking on who will replace Colwill in the starting XI, suggested “Now Levi is out, the only one who can do that job well is Tosin.” Seems pretty clear who is the man for the job in Maresca’s mind.
Lavia has been out injured since the Club World Cup.
Maresca revealed “(Wesley) Fofana could be available – we will see.” The bench is the likeliest spot for Fofana if he is fit.
Neto and Gittens will likely start on the wings with Estevao still such a young prospect.
New signing and apparent FPL superstar Joao Pedro of course starts up-front with Delap on the bench.c
