After making wholesale changes in the last couple of games in domestic competitions, Maresca will make best use of the size of his squad once again.
Cole Palmer has not been included in the squad for the mid-week game, while the likes of Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, Joao Felix and Mykhaylo Mudryk will all battle to feature in the final third.
Romeo Lavia is in line for a start in the middle, but Reece James and Omari Kellyman remain sidelined with hamstring injuries.

It is unlikely that Sven Kums, Andrew Hjulsager and Aime Omgba will be available for selection for the visitors.
