De Ligt ruled out

Harry Maguire is also out with an injury, and Noussair Mazraoui is away at the Africa Cup of Nations, so will not be available for selection.

Attackers away

Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo are with their national teams at the Africa Cup and will miss the match despite featuring in the recent game against Bournemouth.
