Brown looks likely to miss out as he is yet to recover from his virus that made him miss the Barca game.
Lustig should be recovered from a hip knock he suffered in the Barca game but considering how well Matthews played at LB, I'd be surprised is Lustig starts the game. I think Matthews will play RB and Lustig will take a spot on the bench.
Izaguirre, Rogne, Forrest, Hooper and Lassad are all still injured. Samaras is fit but I'm not sure playing him is the best option in this game. He was only 50/50 for Barca and if we play him that means we can't really have any excuse for his country to use him in the upcoming friendlies!
I would go with:
Forster
Matthews - Ambrose - Kilson - Mulgrew
Commons - Wanyama - Kayal - Ledley
Watt - Miku
Although that may change to a 3 in midfield with Commons playing behind the front 2.
