Krystian Bielik is expected to miss the game after recently returning from a long-term injury. Eustace believes it would be ‘unfair’ to select the Polish midfielder.

“I think it’s not fair on Krystian if I’m being honest,” the Blues boss said. “He’s been out for six weeks, he’s done well this week, he hasn’t had many games.”
