Coach Cesc Fabregas sticks with largely the same line-up, missing only long-term injury Jayden Addai, with deadline day signings Kean and Chelsea goalkeeper Sanchez on the bench. That means Jean Butez keeps the gloves for now, with Chalobah, Yan Couto the only summer arrivals in the starting XI, as Maxi Perrone takes over from Luis Milla. Nico Paz, Assane Diao and Baturina support Tasos Douvikas upfront.

Lorenzo Venturino, Joi Nuredini, Hamed Traore and Elias Havel are still on the treatment table, but Franz-Ethan Meichtry made an impressive debut as a substitute against Lazio and is pushing for full fitness. Late signings Milutin Osmajic and Djibril Sow get their first starts, with Robinho Junior and Stephan El Shaarawy on the bench.
