Baleba has been included in a crowded midfield that includes Solly March, Karao Mitoma, Joao Pedro and Simon Adingra in a 4-5-1 formation.
19-year-old highly-rated Baleba only moved to the Amex last January on a €30 Million deal, and had settled for three cameos, two of which have been in the Premier League before this Sunday’s top clash.
