ARSENAL
RULED OUT: Ben White (knee), Kieran Tierney (hamstring), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee)
MIGHT PLAY: Bukayo Saka (leg), Declan Rice (toe), Leandro Trossard (knock)
AVAILABLE: Raheem Sterling (was ineligible to face parent club), Riccardo Calafiori (knee)
“Trossard seems to be OK. He trained this morning and is feeling good. He was able to do part of that session, so that’s good. Bukayo [Saka] and Declan [Rice], as well, they have the first session today. Partial session. So, very good as well.” – Mikel Arteta
“Ben [White] is gonna be out for months unfortunately. We know Ben is going to push every boundary but it got to a point where we had to protect the player. We decided to do the surgery, he agreed with that. Obviously that’s going to keep him out for a few months.” – Mikel Arteta
ASTON VILLA
RULED OUT: Ezri Konsa (hip), Amadou Onana (knee), Jacob Ramsey (hamstring), Boubacar Kamara (hamstring)
MIGHT PLAY: Pau Torres (muscle), Ian Maatsen (unspecified)

MIGHT PLAY: Bryan Mbeumo (unspecified), Yoane Wissa (unspecified), Ethan Pinnock (hip)
AVAILABLE: Igor Thiago (knee)
“All of them I expect to be available and ready for Saturday. In all three situations, different minor issues. It was a little bit similar to the last international break when we had Damsgaard and Norgaard called up for Denmark but they didn’t travel. They managed to be ready for the next game. Sometimes a week’s rest makes all the difference. So, I expect them to be ready.” – Thomas Frank
BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION
RULED OUT: Adam Webster (hamstring), Ferdi Kadioglu (toe), James Milner (hamstring), Solly March (knee)
MIGHT PLAY: Lewis Dunk (calf), Yasin Ayari (ankle), Jack Hinshelwood (knee), Tariq Lamptey (calf)
AVAILABLE: Yankuba Minteh (muscle), Carlos Baleba (knee)
“Lewis Dunk was training, also let’s see how the next two days are going. But he’s close.” – Fabian Hurzeler
“Ferdi had a small issue after the game against Liverpool. He wasn’t able to play the games for the Turkish national team. We also shouldn’t take any risks, so I don’t think that he will be an option for the weekend. With the others, I’m more positive.” – Fabian Hurzeler on Ferdi Kadioglu
CHELSEA
RULED OUT: Reece James (hamstring), Omari Kellyman (hamstring)
MIGHT PLAY: Cole Palmer (knock), Jadon Sancho (knock), Levi Colwill (knock), Wesley Fofana (knee), Romeo Lavia (hamstring), Filip Jorgensen (knock), Malo Gusto (ankle)
“We have for sure just one injured player, that is Reece [James]. Unfortunately, he felt something small [in his hamstring]. We do not want to take any risk for the weekend. So he’s the only one for sure that is not available for this weekend. Hopefully it’s not something long.
“The rest, some of them are better, some of them are still doubts. Also we need to wait because today is the first session that we do with all the players from the international teams.” – Enzo Maresca
CRYSTAL PALACE
RULED OUT: Eberechi Eze (hamstring), Eddie Nketiah (hamstring), Daichi Kamada (suspended), Adam Wharton (groin), Chadi Riad (knee), Matheus Franca (groin)
AVAILABLE: Will Hughes (back from suspension), Jefferson Lerma (hamstring)
“Ebs would like to be involved in tomorrow’s game but I took the decision not to take him with us to Villa. It’s a little bit too risky. He trained during the week but it’s too near when it happened. When we see our schedule, we have to protect our players.” – Oliver Glasner on Eberechi Eze
EVERTON
RULED OUT: Armando Broja (foot), James Garner (back), Tim Iroegbunam (foot), Seamus Coleman (hamstring), Youssef Chermiti (foot)
MIGHT PLAY: Dwight McNeil (knee), Jarrad Branthwaite (groin)
“Dwight [McNeil] has come through it well actually, he’s had a really good week of training. Jarrad [Branthwaite] trained today after settling things down, so we’ll see how he responds overnight. But we’re hopeful on that and should be okay.” – Sean Dyche
FULHAM
RULED OUT: Harrison Reed (ankle)
AVAILABLE: Sasa Lukic (shoulder)

MIGHT PLAY: Jordan Ayew (knee), Jamie Vardy (back), Bobby De Cordova-Reid (wound)
AVAILABLE: Patson Daka (ankle)
“It’s not good, a serious injury. He’s had an ACL injury that is going to rule him out for the rest of the season.” – Steve Cooper on Abdul Fatawu
“Jordan [Ayew] has come back injured as well from international duty. It’s not as serious an injury as I think might have been reported locally in Ghana. The hope is that he may be available for the weekend but it’s a little bit inconclusive at the moment.” – Steve Cooper
LIVERPOOL
RULED OUT: Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring), Diogo Jota (rib), Alisson (hamstring), Federico Chiesa (unknown)
MIGHT PLAY: Harvey Elliott (foot), Virgil van Dijk (muscle)
“Trent [Alexander-Arnold] isn’t training with us yet but he’s getting there, so we expect him to be back with us soon. Jota is still apart from the group, same as Federico [Chiesa] who is coming back into the session maybe in one exercise today. They’re all expected to be back within now and a few weeks but the last part of the recovery is always the most difficult one.” – Arne Slot
“With Alisson and Jota, I don’t expect them to be available for [the Madrid] game. With Trent, it’s going to be in between.” – Arne Slot
“Virgil [van Dijk] is all good. He’s training with us today.” – Arne Slot
“He’s back in training with the goalkeeper coach, he’s not training with the team yet but that is expected to be done soon. Let’s wait and see where he is in terms of match fitness. He’s getting better and better but not ready to play Sunday.” – Arne Slot on Alisson
MANCHESTER CITY
RULED OUT: Rodri (knee), Ruben Dias (muscle), Mateo Kovacic (unknown), Oscar Bobb (leg)

AVAILABLE: John Stones (foot), Manuel Akanji (adductor), Nathan Ake (hamstring)
“Kovacic is injured. Will be a while, three weeks or a month, more or less.” – Pep Guardiola
“These 10 days, some players recover a little bit. I don’t know if they are ready to play 90 minutes or play from the beginning but to see the training session and see their faces is a really, really good boost for all of us.” – Pep Guardiola
MANCHESTER UNITED
RULED OUT: Harry Maguire (muscle)
MIGHT PLAY: Kobbie Mainoo (muscle), Luke Shaw (calf), Leny Yoro (foot), Casemiro (knock), Lisandro Martinez (knock), Victor Lindelof (knock), Tyrell Malacia (knee)
NEWCASTLE UNITED
RULED OUT: Dan Burn (suspended), Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Emil Krafth (collarbone)
MIGHT PLAY: Kieran Trippier (hamstring), Callum Wilson (back)
“He’s doing well, we anticipate he’s going to train with the group today. Whether he’s quite there for West Ham let’s see, there’s a chance he could be involved but we need to get through the next few days of training first.” – Eddie Howe on Callum Wilson
“Slightly closer I’d say than Callum. He trained yesterday, trained well, felt good, no ill effects, looked sharp but that was his first day’s training. So again, we’re in a similar position in respect that right at the end of the rehab you’ve got to navigate the last few days well.” – Eddie Howe on Kieran Trippier
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
RULED OUT: Danilo (ankle), Ibrahima Sangare (hamstring)
MIGHT PLAY: Ola Aina (knock), Elliot Anderson (knock)
“We still have Sosa to arrive because he played later. The rest of them are here. For now, okay. Just managing some players, some situations. As we mentioned before, we take the chance in this internatonal break to recover some players. “
[Danilo and Sangare] are definitely out, they cannot be involved. We have some other situations to manage and decide.” – Nuno Espirito Santo
SOUTHAMPTON
RULED OUT: Aaron Ramsdale (finger), Jan Bednarek (knee), Ross Stewart (hamstring), Will Smallbone (hamstring), Gavin Bazunu (Achilles)
AVAILABLE: Ryan Fraser (illness), Flynn Downes (knee)
“They’ll both be out for this weekend and a number of weeks. Aaron [Ramsdale] has had an operation on his finger, he’ll hopefully be back this side of Christmas.
“Janny [Bednarek], we spoke really quickly after the game. He was really worried about his knee injury. Thankfully the injury is not as significant as we fear, hopefully a week or two before Aaron.” – Russell Martin
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
RULED OUT: Cristian Romero (toe), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Richarlison (hamstring), Rodrigo Bentancur (suspended), Wilson Odobert (hamstring), Mikey Moore (illness)

WEST HAM UNITED
RULED OUT: Mohammed Kudus (suspended), Niclas Fullkrug (Achilles)
AVAILABLE: Edson Alvarez (back from suspension)
“We have a little problem with two players but we have to check tomorrow. I hope that they are going to be ready for the next Monday challenge. Niclas [Fullkrug] is out, he’s improving but he’s not ready for Newcastle.” – Julen Lopetegui

“Santi [Bueno] has done some work on the grass, he will travel with us and we’re hopeful that he’ll make it.” – Gary O’Neil
