We can now confirm the starting XI and substitutes for tonight’s UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg against Atletico Madrid (8pm UK).
Trailing 5-2 on aggregate from the first leg in Madrid last week, Igor Tudor has made four changes to the side that started Sunday's 1-1 draw away to Liverpool in the Premier League.
Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven return in defence having missed the trip to Anfield through injury and suspension respectively.
Xavi Simons replaces the suspended Richarlison and Randal Kolo Muani comes into the frontline in place of Dominic Solanke who misses out this evening after picking up a 'small problem' in the week.
As Igor mentioned in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, Lucas Bergvall and Destiny Udogie both return from injury to make the matchday squad as substitutes whilst Conor Gallagher has recovered from his illness to make the bench against his former side.
Here’s our team in full...
Starting XI: Vicario, Dragusin, Xavi, Tel, Gray, Romero (c), Pedro Porro, Spence, Sarr, van de Ven, Kolo Muani.
Substitutes: Kinsky, Austin, Danso, Udogie, Bergvall, Gallagher, Olusesi, Kyerematen, Rowswell.
