We can confirm the starting line-ups and substitutes for tonight's Europa League encounter away to Galatasaray (kick-off 5.45pm UK).
Ange Postecoglou has made seven changes to the side from Sunday's 4-1 win over Aston Villa for our clash in Istanbul, with Pedro Porro, Radu Dragusin, Brennan Johnson and captain Heung-Min Son the only four players retaining their positions.
Will Lankshear, who made his senior debut in our 2-1 win at Ferencvaros in our previous European away day, comes into the starting XI to lead the line in what is his second senior appearance for the Club as Dominic Solanke makes way.
James Maddison starts as part of wholesale changes to our midfield unit which also features Yves Bissouma and Lucas Bergvall, with Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr and Dejan Kulusevski moving to the bench.
There is a change in goal as Fraser Forster retains his spot from our last outing in the competition against AZ Alkmaar and, in our backline, the last two changes see Ben Davies and Archie Gray come into the back four.
Academy duo Callum Olusesi (midfield) and 16-year-old Luca Williams-Barnett (forward) have made the matchday squad for the first time, both being named amongst our substitutes. Alife Dorrington and Dante Cassanova have travelled again with the European squad while Cristian Romero, Mikey Moore, Richarlison and Timo Werner have not made the journey.
Starting XI: Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Bissouma, Bergvall, Maddison; Johnson, Lankshear, Son (c).
Substitutes: Vicario, Austin, Udogie, Dorrington, Bentancur, Sarr, Kulusevski, Cassanova, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett, Solanke.
