The away team arrived just 15 minutes before the scheduled kick-off. They are expected to be given some time to warm up before the match gets going.
Despite reports suggesting Mikey Moore would get a start tonight, he starts on the bench alongside Will Lankshear.
Ange has made quite a few changes with Lucas Bergvall starting in the midfield partnering Pape Matar Sarr and Bissouma.
Archie Gray starts as right-back and Ben Davies starts on the left side with Dragusin and Micky van de Ven starting in the heart of the defence.
Upfront, big money signing Dominic Solanke starts with Brennan Johnson and Heung-min Son on the wings.
