Andre Onana does start in between the sticks here, despite rumours suggesting we could get a glimpse at Altay Bayindir.
Diogo Dalot plays at right-back, with the man from Portugal the only fit player in that area of the field. Raphael Varane makes his first start post-injury, partnering Harry Maguire, who is also back available following injury. It looks like Sofyan Amrabat starts at left-back…
Casemiro plays which is an intriguing decision, particularly as he’s probably due a rest. Mason Mount is another who comes back into the side after treatment table woes, with Hannibal keeping his place in the XI.
Anthony Martial is presented with an opportunity to lead the line here, with Facundo Pellistri and Alejandro Garnacho to his right and left respectively.
