ASTON VILLA

 

RULED OUT: Jacob Ramsey (hamstring)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Amadou Onana (knee)

 

AVAILABLE: Ezri Konsa (hip), Boubacar Kamara (hamstring)

BOURNEMOUTH

 

RULED OUT: Antoine Semenyo (suspended), Alex Scott (knee), Luis Sinisterra (hamstring), Julian Araujo (hamstring)

 

AVAILABLE: Ryan Christie (back from suspension)

 

“We are using this week to de-load him a little bit. Also with the kind of break he had in the international break, we will focus it in a positive way. He can have like a small break and then be ready again for a very demanding month of December.” – Andoni Iraola on Antoine Semenyo

 

BRENTFORD

 

RULED OUT: Rico Henry (knee), Kristoffer Ajer (foot), Aaron Hickey (hamstring), Josh Dasilva (knee), Gustavo Nunes (back)

AVAILABLE: Lewis Dunk (calf), Tariq Lamptey (calf)

 

“Last week I already said that Lewis [Dunk] would be an option but this week he will be back in the squad! Ferdi [Kadioglu], we’re not sure if he will be available. We have to see day to day if he can train or not, then we have to make a decision.

“Tariq [Lamptey] will be back, he will be back in the squad. And I think the rest will stay the same.” – Fabian Hurzeler

 

CHELSEA

 

RULED OUT: Reece James (hamstring), Omari Kellyman (hamstring)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Malo Gusto (illness), Pedro Neto (knock)

 

“The other day Romeo [Lavia]was on the bench, it doesn’t mean that Romeo will be on the bench the next game. The same was for Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto that was out.” – Enzo Maresca

 

CRYSTAL PALACE

 

RULED OUT: Daichi Kamada (suspended), Adam Wharton (groin), Chadi Riad (knee), Matheus Franca (groin)

 

AVAILABLE: Eberechi Eze (hamstring), Eddie Nketiah (hamstring)

 

Eberechi [Eze] will be in the squad tomorrow and Eddie Nketiah as well. They worked pretty hard in their rehab, and also the medical staff did an amazing job, so that’s why they are available earlier than expected.” – Oliver Glasner

 

EVERTON

 

RULED OUT: James Garner (back), Tim Iroegbunam (foot), Seamus Coleman (hamstring), Youssef Chermiti (foot)

RULED OUT: Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles), George Hirst (knee)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Kalvin Phillips (knock), Ben Johnson (knock)

 

AVAILABLE: Jacob Greaves (hamstring), Nathan Broadhead (groin)

 

“It’s the type of decision you want to have. Jacob was certainly one of our best players in the early parts of the season, then unfortunately he picked up his injury and Cameron Burgess has done very well since he came into the team. That’s where we’d like to be in every position to be honest.” – Kieran McKenna on Jacob Greaves v Cameron Burgess, via EADT

AVAILABLE: Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring)

 

“Yes, he would.” – Arne Slot on whether Alexander-Arnold would be fit enough start

 

“They are still being assessed and it is so close after the game yesterday night, and I just came off the training pitch. So, I can’t tell you exactly where they are, so we have to wait and see where they are this weekend and after that.” – Arne Slot on Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate

 

MANCHESTER CITY

 

RULED OUT: Rodri (knee), Mateo Kovacic (unknown), Oscar Bobb (leg)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Jeremy Doku (hamstring), John Stones (foot)

 

AVAILABLE: Ruben Dias (muscle)

 

“We’ll see today. Today we’ll see.” – Pep Guardiola

 

MANCHESTER UNITED

 

MIGHT PLAY: Harry Maguire (muscle), Leny Yoro (foot), Victor Lindelof (hamstring)

 

AVAILABLE: Lisandro Martinez (knock), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Kobbie Mainoo (muscle)

 

“We will rotate players and we will be ready. [On Thursday] we have to use like four subs to manage the fitness, not the game. We managed the fitness [against Bodo/Glimt], so we have to do it. We already know it will be like that; no excuses and we should be ready for Sunday.” – Ruben Amorim

 

“We have to rotate him sometimes because he always looks fresh but he is not like that, he is not a machine. I think he plays better on the right and we will manage to put him on the right. He is a very good player, very powerful that can play both sides and nowadays, a player that can play on both sides is perfect because you can put him in different positions.” – Ruben Amorim on Diogo Dalot

 

NEWCASTLE UNITED

 

RULED OUT: Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Emil Krafth (collarbone)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Bruno Guimaraes (quad), Joe Willock (knock)

NOTTINGHAM FOREST

 

RULED OUT: Danilo (ankle), Ibrahima Sangare (hamstring)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Morgan Gibbs-White (ankle), Anthony Elanga (shoulder), Elliot Anderson (foot)

 

“We still have tomorrow. We have to assess the players and see how they are. Improving, improving. Danilo is also improving. Let’s see tomorrow how they are so they can help the team.” – Nuno Espirito Santo on Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson

 

SOUTHAMPTON

 

RULED OUT: Aaron Ramsdale (finger), Jan Bednarek (knee), Ross Stewart (hamstring), Adam Lallana (hamstring), Will Smallbone (hamstring), Gavin Bazunu (Achilles), Juan Larios (unknown)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Paul Onuachu (knock)

 

“Adam Lallana is out, which is a shame because I think he would have loved to have been back on the pitch at a place where he had a really good time. Adam’s out and Paul’s being assessed, so fingers crossed that Big Paul will come through all right. It’s not a bad injury at all, which is really good news for us.” – Russell Martin, via the Daily Echo

 

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

 

RULED OUT: Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Richarlison (hamstring), Rodrigo Bentancur (suspended), Wilson Odobert (hamstring), Mikey Moore (virus)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Cristian Romero (toe)

 

“He’s fine. He is a bit sore. We’re really thin squad-wise especially in that front third so he’s working hard for us but, at this stage, nothing too significant.” – Ange Postecoglou on Dominic Solanke

 

Romero is closer, he is probably the closest. Again, probably unlikely but I’m not ruling him out, he’s still got to get through some things today and we’ve got a session tomorrow. Last night, at this stage, it is a clean bill of health. Mind you, I thought that last week and then I had a guy in surgery [Vicario] an hour later. So, I think everything is alright from last night.” – Ange Postecoglou

 

WEST HAM UNITED

 

RULED OUT: Mohammed Kudus (suspended), Niclas Fullkrug (Achilles)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Jean-Clair Todibo (knock)

 

“The news is that we have two or three little problems that we have to assess tomorrow. With Todibo in the last match and two players more. I prefer not [to say who they are]. Let’s see. I am positive… that all of them can be ready.” – Julen Lopetegui

 

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

 

RULED OUT: Yerson Mosquera (knee), Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Boubacar Traore (knee), Enso Gonzalez (knee), Pedro Lima (ankle)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Bastien Meupiyou (knock)
