Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.

Rayan Ait-Nouri, who the manager has admitted he sees “more as a winger than a full-back”, could start on the opposite side, although Iliman Ndiaye is another option – the former Everton man is eligible despite having played for his previous club in the last round (the cup-tied rule was amended a while back and now allows a player to represent two clubs in the competition).
