Raul Jimenez faces a late fitness test, leaving Marco Silva to weigh makeshift options up front.

Overview

  • Silva explained Tete’s knee injury is different from last season’s problem and does not require surgery.
  • Raul Jimenez, who injured his hip against Aston Villa, will be assessed today to decide if he can feature on Friday.
  • Harry Wilson has been touted as a stopgap centre-forward, with Football Insider reporting the club is working on a new contract for him.
  • Muniz signed a new five-year deal on Wednesday, while Bournemouth arrive in form with Antoine Semenyo a notable threat.
