As new head coach Matthias Jaissle continues to run the rule over his squad, there are a handful of changes to the starting XI from his first match in charge against Valencia.

That includes the introduction of Joelinton, who takes the armband worn by Malick Thiaw in Spain at the weekend.

Lewis Hall also returns to the side, while Yoane Wissa's two goals at Mestalla earn him a starting spot. Anthony Elanga was stretchered off in Spain, but is fit enough to start here.

Lukáš Horníček continues in goal, with Hall slotting into a back line also comprising of Thiaw, Sven Botman and Leo Shahar.

Joelinton joins Aladji Bamba in midfield, with Elanga and Bazoumana Touré on the flanks. Wissa and William Osula are the central attackers.

Jaissle names 14 players on the bench: Mark Gillespie, Aidan Harris, Harvey Barnes, Sean Steur, Jacob Murphy, Nick Woltemade, Joe Willock, Dylan Charlton, Jacob Ramsey, Miodrag Pivaš, Henry Johnson, Rory Finneran, Sean Neave and Mason Miley.
