Lewis Orford and Mohamadou Kanté feature alongside Arne Engels, while Divine Mukasa, Pablo and Ajala complete the starting team.
The selection follows the balancing act explored in our assessment of Nuno’s rotation dilemma before Fulham.
Bowen and Piroe give Nuno options from the bench
Bowen’s place among the substitutes is one of the main decisions, with Kilman taking the captain’s armband.
Piroe, Manor Solomon and Taty Castellanos also offer attacking options if Nuno needs to change the game.
Airidas Golambeckis and Ezra Mayers are substitutes, rather than starters, while Mads Hermansen provides goalkeeping cover.
For Orford and Ajala, the tie offers an opportunity to make their case against Premier League opposition.
