Missing eight players through injury and suspension, Clement welcomes back keeper Jack Butland and midfielder Tom Lawrence after injury. And he wants his men to focus on securing the club’s first win over English opposition south of the border since a famous victory over Leeds United in 1992.

‘The most important thing for my group is to be focused on ourselves and not all the noise around us,’ said he Belgian. ‘It’s about a football game. We need to show our qualities. ‘We need to get the best out of everybody, out of each other. It’s about what we do on the pitch, with and without the ball.
