McNeil is replaced by Vydra and Fornals replaces Lanzini.

Tarkowski can’t force the ball home from Weghorst’s hooked cross before Cornet fires wide of the near post.

Benrahma looks like he’s got a tap in, but Collins manages to get across to block on the line.

Rice and Weghorst are booked for an off-the-ball clash.
