Ola Aina (thigh), Douglas Luiz (thigh), Chris Wood (knee), Oleksandr Zinchenko (hip), Dilane Bakwa (unspecified) and Angus Gunn (knee) all remain sidelined with injuries.

John Victor will hope to earn a recall between the sticks at the expense of Matz Sels, while Morato could replace either Nikola Milenkovic or Murillo - who scored against Liverpool - at centre-back....

In fact, such was his fame off the pitch he was dubbed the "fifth Beatle" by Portuguese press, and by his mid-20s his celebrity lifestyle had started to overtake his football in a slope that would never reverse. But that does not detract from…...

The jury was told police unearthed the stash in his home after he had a fight with his twin brother on October 27 last year, when he was 17. School records showed he threatened violence against pupils he disliked, Mr Atkinson said. Mr Atkinson told jurors they will likely have to decide "not whether the defendant made a series of viable firearms and explosive devices, but why". He added: "As presently understood, his case is that he was driven by his undoubted autistic condition to make these items for the fun of it.
