From the side that began our 2-0 Carabao Cup victory at Huddersfield in midweek, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Tijjani Reijnders, Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland all come into the starting line-up for the visit of Scott Parker’s side.
There’s also a welcome return on the bench of Mateo Kovacic with the Croatian fit again after missing the first month of the season as he recovered from an Achilles problem.
Rodri misses out this afternoon as the Spanish midfielder is not fully fit.James Trafford, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Rico Lewis, Oscar Bobb and Divine Mukasa, who all started at Huddersfield, revert to the bench.
Rayan Cherki (thigh), Rayan Ait-Nouri (muscular issue), Abdukodir Khusanov (ankle) and Omar Marmoush (knee) all remain unavailable for selection.
