Bruce made TEN changes for the second round win over Blackburn Rovers and despite the disappointment at the weekend, he admits he is again committed to switching things up at the Mazuma Stadium.
The likes of Mark Gillespie, DeAndre Yedlin, Emil Krafth, Ciaran Clark, Sean Longstaff, Matt Ritchie, Dan Barlaser and Miguel Almiron all expected to start.
This is Liam Kennedy’s predicted line-up.

Javier Manquillo is expected to start tonight. Bruce said: “The good thing about any squad of players is that I’ve got a decision to make. Let’s be honest, I got the decision wrong at the weekend because we got beat. I’ve got competition everywhere across the pitch, and that can only be a good thing." Photo: Pool
