Defender James Tomkins (calf) has also stepped up his recovery so could be involved, but Scott Dann (knee) and Connor Wickham (calf) remain unavailable.

Provisional squad: Hennessey, Van Aanholt, Sakho, Schlupp, Wan-Bissaka, Kelly, Milivojevic, Townsend, McArthur, Ayew, Sorloth, Guaita, Ward, Meyer, Kouyate, Puncheon, Riedewald, Zaha, Tomkins.

Huddersfield trio Collin Quaner, Juninho Bacuna and Adama Diakhaby will all be assessed before the game.

Forward Quaner and midfielder Bacuna sustained knocks playing for the under-23s in midweek, while winger Diakhaby is also hoping to overcome a minor problem.

Midfielder Jonathan Hogg is still suspended, but goalkeeper Ben Hamer is expected back in contention after a knee injury and will vie with Jonas Lossl for a starting place.

Provisional squad: Lossl, Hamer, Kongolo, Schindler, Jorgensen, Lowe, Billing, Mooy, Hadergjonaj, Van La Parra, Mounie, Depoitre, Diakhaby, Kachunga, Durm, Williams, Mbenza, Pritchard, Quaner.
