KAA Gent

Michel-Ange Balikwisha is a fitness concern for Gent after he was substituted in the 41st minute against Braga with an apparent injury. He has started all five of Gent's latest matches, so his availability will affect the selection against Anderlecht.

There is better news surrounding Siebe Van der Heyden, who is available again after recovering from the injury he sustained against Aarhus and is expected to start. Josué Vergara remains out with a hip injury and Mouhamed Ngom with a torn cruciate ligament, with Maksim Paskotši in line to play on the right of the defence.

Anderlecht

Giulian Biancone, fully fit after a hamstring injury, earned his first start in the midweek match at Jagiellonia Białystok, but Andrew Omobamidele is expected to return at right centre-back in his place for the trip to Gent.

Defender Ilay Camara is nearing a return from a broken foot, with the rest of the squad otherwise available. Anderlecht go into the match unbeaten in their last five league games, and Marten Winkler, who has scored three times in his last five appearances, is expected to keep his place on the left of the attack.
