Marco Silva could look to rotate his options for the clash with Adama Traore and Emile Smith Rowe among those pushing for starts. The latter has been eased back in after returning from injury, while Traore has lost his place in the XI to Harry Wilson in recent weeks.

Silva could have Sander Berge back available after an ankle issue, though Harrison Reid, Kenny Tete and Reiss Nelson remain out. Jorge Cuenca, Ryan Sessegnon and Rodrigo Muniz will hope for starts.
