Kick off time 20:00 (GMT). Live on Sky Sports for those in the UK.
Like every league game in recent weeks, it's another must win to maintain that distance between us and Liverpool. Liverpool play Brighton (A) on Saturday, so that gap could be back down to 3 points having played the same amount of games.
This is one of the harder league games we have left this season; 1 of the 3 away games we have left against a top half side (the other 2 being West Ham and Wolves). Needless to say they picked us apart at home earlier in the season albeit a Laporte red card heavily affected our ability to comeback in that one.
Southampton (A) on Sun 20th Match in the FA Cup is our next game after this one, so we just need to go full strength here.
Absentees v Sporting CP
Nathan Ake - Injured (could be back)
Ruben Dias - Hamstring (out for a while longer)
Joao Cancelo - Sick (probably Covid, probably be fit for this one)
Kyle Walker - Only suspended for CL
Zack Steffan - Injured
Cole Palmer - Unsure
