AZ Alkmaar have made one change to the side which last week beat De Graafschap for Thursday's Europa League game away to Partizan Belgrade, with Alireza Jahanbakhsh making way for Thom Haye.

Norwegian international Markus Henriksen, AZ's top scorer with five goals so far this season, starts in midfield, while Vincent Janssen and Robert Muhren will be looking to add to their combined tally of four goals up front.

Meanwhile, the home side have brought Fabricio Silva Dornellas and Ivan Saponjic into their starting lineup following defeat to Crvena Zvezda.

Top scorer and former Manchester City striker Valeri Bojinov again starts on the bench as he recovers from injury.

Partizan: Z. Zivkovic; Balazic, Vulicevic, Silva Dornellas, Lekovic; Babovic, Brasanac, A. Zivkovic, Jevtovic, Oumarou; Saponjic

AZ: Rochet; Johansson, Gouweleeuw, Van der Linden, Brezancic; Van Overeem, Henriksen, Rienstra; Hupperts, Janssen, Haye
