Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Thomas Partey and Gabriel Martinelli have all been recalled to the starting line-up for our Champions League meeting with Sporting CP.

All four were on the bench against Nottingham Forest this weekend, although Partey came on in the second half (and grabbed our second goal).

Mikel Merino, Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard and Jorginho all make way for the team that won 3-0 on Saturday.

It means that David Raya remains in goal behind an unchanged four. William Saliba becomes the 17th Frenchman to have played 100 games for us.

Martin Odegaard is once again leading the side after missing all four of our Champions League games so far, apart from a late cameo at the end of our match against Inter last season.

Kieran Tierney is back among the substitutes. If he comes on it will be our first time since playing in the Community Shield at the start of last season.

As for the home side, Viktor Gyokeres leads the charge after scoring 24 goals in 19 appearances for his club so far this season.
