Richarlison joins him up front in his first start since a recent minor operation.

Pape Sarr also gets the nod from the bench, leaving Giovani Lo Celso and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg among the substitutes today.

"The last update I got was late last night and he was a bit a sore after the game obviously, but the extent of it we'll need to see how he recovers today," Postecoglou said on Friday, when asked about Son.

"There were a couple of others with knocks but I don't think anything else insignificant.

"Obviously we got Pape [Sarr] a few minutes last night and I understand him and Richy [Richarlison] came through OK but there won't be anyone else coming back between now and the New Year."
