Fofana, meanwhile, will partner Lyle Foster in attack after the striker was passed fit.

The South African hobbled off during last week’s 4-1 win against Sheffield United after being rated “touch and go” beforehand.

Elsewhere, Ameen Al-Dakhil, Jordan Beyer, Aaron Ramsey, Luca Koleosho and Nathan Redmond all remain sidelined.

As for United, they’ve named an unchanged side from the team that laboured to a 4-2 win against Sheffield United in midweek.
