RB Connor Randall
Remember him? Yeah, he stepped up and played some rotational minutes last year and was splendid. The few times Nathaniel Clyne needed a break, Randall came in seamlessly for seven appearances across all competitions.
Now, without having a glut of fixtures, the League Cup is the most he can expect to play without injury to Clyne. Randall deserves to get some minutes in a makeshift backline against the Championship outfit.
