Kieran Trippier captains the team, partnering Botman in central defense. Lewis Hall, who scored in a previous league match against Man City, starts at left-back. Sandro Tonali, who reached 100 competitive appearances for the club last week, will play in midfield alongside Joe Willock. Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes, both having scored against Man City this season, are expected to occupy the wing positions. Nick Woltemade, who missed Wednesday’s game against United due to illness, is back in the starting lineup. Will Osula, who netted a late winner against Man United on Wednesday, earns his fifth start of the season. Tino Livramento is named on the substitutes’ bench and will make his 100th club appearance if he comes on. Yoane Wissa, Jacob Murphy, Sean Neave, and Alex Murphy are among the available replacements, with Nick Pope as the backup goalkeeper.
