Keita came off the bench to secure a precious 1-0 victory in the first leg, so a draw or even defeat could be enough to qualify, depending on away goals.

Coach Stefano Pioli has an injury crisis to deal with, losing Miroslav Klose, Filip Djordjevic, Lucas Biglia and Federico Marchetti.

That means there are absolutely no centre-forwards in the squad, so Keita acts as a False 9 flanked by Antonio Candreva and Felipe Anderson.

It’s a very young line-up and Pioli said they’ll “make up for the lack of experience with youth and vitality.”

Nigeria international Ogenyi ‘Eddy’ Onazi takes over from Biglia in midfield, while Stefan de Vrij has recovered after he was stretchered off in the first leg with a knock to the head.

Pioli switches to a 3-4-3 formation, moving Senad Lulic and Dusan Basta into more advanced roles.

Stefan Radu was suspended for the first leg, but enters as a centre-back.

Bayer Leverkusen are without Omer Toprak, Tin Jedvaj and Son Heung-Min, but the man to watch is centre-forward Stefan Kiessling.

Hakan Calhanoglu also caused a lot of problems in the first leg, particularly on free kicks.
