Carl Jenkinson is all set to make his first appearance of the season and James Tomkins – who was impressive at right back last week – looks likely to be the player who’ll start proceedings on the bench.
That means 16-year-old Reece Oxford will make his second Premier League appearance, with the previously injured Pedro Obiang joining the squad.
Likely team: Adrian; Jenkinson, Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Noble, Kouyate, Oxford; Payet, Zarate, Sakho.
