Midfielders

Oriol Romeu

Sure to come straight back in after serving his suspension for five yellow cards.

James Ward-Prowse

Has become one of the best all-round midfielders in the Premier League this season.

Stuart Armstrong

Lost his influence against Fulham after being moved to the left flank instead of the right but should retain his normal role with Djenepo potentially coming back in.

Moussa Djenepo

With Shane Long surely dropping back to the subs bench, the Malian is likely to come back in to provide creativity and so that Theo Walcott can move back to playing as a striker.
