Giorgi Mamardashvili will start between the posts as Alisson Becker remains sidelined with injury. The backline will feature Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the defence. Furthermore, Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones are likely to anchor the midfield today. Youngster Rio Ngumoha could keep his place on the wing to provide pace.

However, defeat today would see them lose more than ten games in a single season. That would represent their worst losing tally since the 2014-15 campaign. Slot’s men must show mental resilience to navigate this difficult period of the season.
