William Saliba returns after missing the last two games with an ankle injury, while Declan Rice, Gabriel and Martin Zubimendi are all restored after being rested for the FA Cup win over Mansfield.

Riccardo Calafiori, taken off against Mansfield with a ‘niggle’, is fit to be involved, as is Ben White, who returns to the bench after missing the last four games. Leandro Trossard, however, is not. He has not recovered from the problem he picked up in the FA Cup.

Martin Odegaard misses out again with the knee problem that is likely to keep him out until the end of the month at the earliest.
