Midfielders

Oriol Romeu

There are limited options in the central-midfield area but Romeu has been excellent this season anyway.

James Ward-Prowse

A key man in terms of leadership, set-pieces and all-round midfield play right now.

Stuart Armstrong

Stopped from using his creative powers against United last weekend due to a good tactical setup from the visitors but remains a key man.

Moussa Djenepo

Has supported Bertrand well in recent games but needs to influence the attack too to show his best assets.

Nathan Redmond is set to return to the matchday squad and could come off the bench as a substitute.
