The hosts have a near full-strength squad to choose from following the return of their international players. There is a slight doubt over the fitness of key creative midfielder Federico Cartabia, who is nursing a minor knock, but he is expected to be available for selection. The manager has a wealth of attacking options and will field a very strong side.

The visitors have the benefit of a fully fit and available squad, with no new injuries or suspensions to report. The manager will need every single one of his players, particularly the defensive unit, to be at the absolute peak of their game to have any chance of withstanding the immense pressure they are expected to face at the Rashid Stadium.
