Last updated on March 14th, 2025

ARSENAL

 

RULED OUT: Bukayo Saka (hamstring), Kai Havertz (hamstring), Raheem Sterling (ineligible to face parent club), Gabriel Jesus (knee), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee)

 

โ€œHeโ€™s getting closer. Heโ€™s stepping up and making very good progress, I would say. Letโ€™s see when we decide to throw him in with the team, how he reacts and how fit he can get quicklyโ€ โ€“ Mikel Arteta on Bukayo Saka

 

โ€œWell, with Gabby now we have more options but itโ€™s true that we have to really manage the load and itโ€™s been a little bit ahead of the schedule. Thatโ€™s why we didnโ€™t want to take, and wouldnโ€™t want to take any more risk with him, loading him with more minutes.โ€ โ€“ Mikel Arteta on Gabriel Martinelli

 

BOURNEMOUTH

 

RULED OUT: Enes Unal (knee), Adam Smith (hamstring + calf)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Marcos Senesi (quad), Julian Araujo (hamstring)

 

AVAILABLE: Illia Zabarnyi (back from suspension)

 

โ€œI donโ€™t think we have had any new injuries during the week. The players that were available the past week will be available for this game also.โ€ โ€“ Andoni Iraola

 

BRENTFORD

 

RULED OUT: Igor Thiago (infection), Fabio Carvalho (shoulder), Michael Kayode (knee), Aaron Hickey (hamstring), Josh Dasilva (knee), Gustavo Nunes (back), Rico Henry (hamstring)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Sepp van den Berg (knee)

 

โ€œSepp trained the whole week, so thereโ€™s a good chance he can be involved in the team tomorrow. [Kayode is] just a little bit after Sepp, so unlikely to be involved. I expect him to be available for Newcastle.

โ€œ[Carvalho] is a longer one-ish. A quick and good recovery could keep the โ€˜return to playโ€™ time down, so just in the end of the season โ€“ but that would need to be a top โ€˜return to playโ€™ time.โ€ โ€“ Thomas Frank

 

BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

 

RULED OUT: Lewis Dunk (ribs), Joel Veltman (foot), Matt Oโ€™Riley (knee), Ferdi Kadioglu (toe), Igor Julio (hamstring), James Milner (hamstring), Jason Steele (shoulder)

 

AVAILABLE: Tariq Lamptey (back from suspension)

 

โ€œHeโ€™s getting closer but heโ€™s still not an option. So, hopefully he can use the international break so that he will be back for the game against Nottingham.โ€ โ€“ Fabian Hurzeler on Lewis Dunk

 

CHELSEA

 

RULED OUT: Nicolas Jackson (hamstring), Noni Madueke (hamstring), Mykhailo Mudryk (ban), Marc Guiu (hamstring)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Malo Gusto (knock)

 

โ€œYes, it will be Robert [Sanchez] playing against Arsenal. Since we started, the idea was not to change โ€˜keeper but sometimes you have to modify, you have to be flexible with your idea.

โ€œI think Robert needed some days off or at least rest with his head, mentally. Now heโ€™s back, hopefully we are not going to change again till the end.โ€ โ€“ Enzo Maresca on his goalkeepers

 

EVERTON

 

RULED OUT: Iliman Ndiaye (knee), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (hamstring), Dwight McNeil (knee), Orel Mangala (knee)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Armando Broja (ankle)

 

โ€œ[Broja] is in and around it. Itโ€™s a bit like Youssef [Chermiti] and Seamus [Coleman], who have had another five or six days of training, whereas Broja is just back in amongst it. Heโ€™s just getting closer but hopefully weโ€™ll be able to get him on the bench for tomorrowโ€™s game [against West Ham].โ€ โ€“ David Moyes

 

FULHAM

 

RULED OUT: Sasa Lukic (suspended), Reiss Nelson (hamstring), Harry Wilson (foot), Kenny Tete (knee)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Adama Traore (ankle)

 

IPSWICH TOWN

 

RULED OUT: Axel Tuanzebe (hamstring + thumb), Wes Burns (knee), Ari Muric (shoulder), Sammie Szmodics (ankle), Conor Chaplin (knee), Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles)

 

LEICESTER CITY

 

RULED OUT: Abdul Fatawu (knee)

 

โ€œReally good, he came on [against Chelsea]โ€ฆ we changed the structure in the last 10 minutes to push for a goal even more. As an inverted full-back, his the role in the midfield, he made us play forward, created some chances, dangerous situations from that play, so itโ€™s great to have him back. He can play wing-back in a five but he can also play in a four and be inverted.โ€ โ€“ Ruud van Nistelrooy on Ricardo Pereira

 

MANCHESTER CITY

 

RULED OUT: Nathan Ake (foot), John Stones (adductor), Manuel Akanji (groin), Rodri (knee), Oscar Bobb (leg + ankle)

 

MANCHESTER UNITED

 

RULED OUT: Patrick Dorgu (suspended), Amad Diallo (ankle), Leny Yoro (foot), Luke Shaw (hamstring), Kobbie Mainoo (calf), Lisandro Martinez (knee), Jonny Evans (muscle), Altay Bayindir (knock), Tom Heaton (knock)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Mason Mount (hamstring), Harry Maguire (knock)

 

AVAILABLE: Manuel Ugarte (knock)

 

โ€œI think he is going to [be on] the bench. We will see, but we need every player and if he is fit, I am going to play him. He cannot play too many minutes, just five minutes of Mason Mount is perfect.โ€ โ€“ Ruben Amorim

 

โ€œHarry Maguire, who we tried not to risk, we will see for Sunday.โ€ โ€“ Ruben Amorim

 

NOTTINGHAM FOREST

 

RULED OUT: Carlos Miguel (hamstring)

 

โ€œItโ€™s very good, itโ€™s very good. It gives us options, solutions, and having everybody available. Itโ€™s just nice to see no one in the doctors.โ€ โ€“ Nuno Espirito Santo on having a near fully fit squad

 

SOUTHAMPTON

 

RULED OUT: Jan Bednarek (concussion), James Bree (hamstring), Ryan Fraser (calf)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Ross Stewart (hamstring), Juan Larios (unknown)

 

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

 

RULED OUT: Dejan Kulusevski (foot), Kevin Danso (hamstring), Richarlison (calf), Radu Dragusin (knee)

 

AVAILABLE: Ben Davies (unknown)

 

โ€œYeah, pretty good in terms of nothing from last night. Everyone got through it well. No one coming back in [from injury].โ€ โ€“ Ange Postecoglou

 

WEST HAM UNITED

 

RULED OUT: Crysencio Summerville (hamstring), Michail Antonio (leg)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Vladimir Coufal (hamstring), Niclas Fullkrug (hamstring)

 

โ€œFรผllkrugโ€™s been training with the group but still not ready โ€“ certainly to start. Weโ€™ll assess over the next 24 hours, I guess, whether heโ€™s available, but I think itโ€™s more after the international break for him, just to get some training in him. But itโ€™s nice to have him with the group.

โ€œSummerville is still obviously at the other side of the international break.โ€ โ€“ Graham Potter

 

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

 

RULED OUT: Matheus Cunha (suspended), Yerson Mosquera (knee), Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Enso Gonzalez (knee), Leon Chiwome (knee)

 

AVAILABLE: Marshall Munetsi (knock)
