ARSENAL
RULED OUT: Bukayo Saka (hamstring), Kai Havertz (hamstring), Gabriel Jesus (knee), Gabriel Martinelli (hamstring), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee)
“He’s ready to play, whether to start or not is a decision we will make tomorrow. But he’s certainly available now to be part of the group.” – Mikel Arteta on Ben White
ASTON VILLA
RULED OUT: Axel Disasi (ineligible to face parent club), Pau Torres (foot), Amadou Onana (unknown), Boubacar Kamara (hamstring), Ross Barkley (calf)
MIGHT PLAY: Ezri Konsa (muscle), Leon Bailey (calf)
BOURNEMOUTH
RULED OUT: Evanilson (foot), Enes Unal (knee), Marcos Senesi (quad), Julian Araujo (hamstring), Adam Smith (muscle)
MIGHT PLAY: James Hill (hamstring)
AVAILABLE: Julio Soler (international duty)
“Now I think they need to build the form. When you’ve been out from the team, from the competition, one thing is, ‘Okay I have my injury more or less under control but I need to get the shape of the others that have been playing in a very challenging level for a lot of time’. But I hope it’s a matter of time.” – Andoni Iraola on Luis Sinisterra and Alex Scott
BRENTFORD
RULED OUT: Sepp van den Berg (knee), Igor Thiago (infection), Rico Henry (hamstring), Aaron Hickey (hamstring), Josh Dasilva (knee), Gustavo Nunes (back)
“We are talking about weeks, rather than months, but how many weeks depends on how quick he is recovering and all that. I would say straight after the game I was hoping it was a minor one, so I would say it’s as positive as it can be with an injury.” – Thomas Frank on Sepp van den Berg
BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION
RULED OUT: Ferdi Kadioglu (toe), Igor Julio (hamstring), James Milner (hamstring), Jason Steele (shoulder)
MIGHT PLAY: Lewis Dunk (rib)
AVAILABLE: Pervis Estupinan (muscle), Solly March (muscle)
CHELSEA
RULED OUT: Nicolas Jackson (hamstring), Noni Madueke (hamstring), Mykhailo Mudryk (ban), Marc Guiu (hamstring), Romeo Lavia (muscle), Benoit Badiashile (muscle), Wesley Fofana (hamstring)
“Fortunately we don’t have any updates. The ones that we have injured are the same, we don’t have any more additional injuries. Noni [Madueke] probably will be out until the international break.” – Enzo Maresca
CRYSTAL PALACE
RULED OUT: Cheick Doucoure (knee), Chadi Riad (knee), Joel Ward (unknown)
AVAILABLE: Eberechi Eze (foot)
“It was a good week for him [Eze] personally, and he’s getting better and better with his foot. I think he’s ready to start [against Fulham].” – Oliver Glasner
EVERTON
RULED OUT: Iliman Ndiaye (knee), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (hamstring), Dwight McNeil (knee), Orel Mangala (knee), Armando Broja (ankle), Seamus Coleman (muscle), Youssef Chermiti (thigh), Nathan Patterson (hamstring)
AVAILABLE: Abdoulaye Doucoure (back from suspension)
“No, I don’t think we have any additional injuries and I don’t think we have anybody coming back from injury quite at this moment.” – David Moyes
FULHAM
RULED OUT: Reiss Nelson (hamstring), Harry Wilson (foot), Kenny Tete (knee)
AVAILABLE: Sasa Lukic (muscle)
“No fresh injuries and hopefully till tomorrow nothing new as well. Still the same, Sasa [Lukic] is going to be ready to be in contention to play the game. The same three are out.” – Marco Silva
IPSWICH TOWN
RULED OUT: Axel Tuanzebe (suspended), Wes Burns (knee), Julio Enciso (knee), Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles), Christian Walton (groin)
MIGHT PLAY: Conor Chaplin (knee)
AVAILABLE: Leif Davis (unknown), Sam Morsy (abdominal), Sammie Szmodics (ankle)
LEICESTER CITY
RULED OUT: Abdul Fatawu (knee), Ricardo Pereira (hamstring)
MIGHT PLAY: James Justin (foot)
“James Justin is a question mark for [Friday’s] game. He hasn’t been able to be a part of team training, so it will probably be difficult to make Friday’s game. It’s not really bad. He’s been assessed, of course, and looked after. It looks more a question of weeks than [anything] more.“ – Ruud van Nistelrooy
LIVERPOOL
RULED OUT: Joe Gomez (hamstring), Conor Bradley (muscle), Tyler Morton (shoulder)
MIGHT PLAY: Cody Gakpo (ankle)
“Let’s see, let’s see. I hope, I’m not 100% sure. Because we will train… he hasn’t trained with the team yet, maybe he does a bit today – I don’t know. It will be a close call.” – Arne Slot on whether Cody Gakpo will return this weekend
“I would have loved to keep [Jota] in the team because he played really well, for Trent the same. Who takes out two players who are playing so well? That’s only because it’s a big injury risk to keep them in the team.
“In these five games, [Alexander-Arnold] already knows how many minutes he will make. That was in a situation where Conor was available as well. Now maybe we have to adjust our plan.” – Arne Slot
MANCHESTER CITY
RULED OUT: John Stones (muscle), Manuel Akanji (groin), Rodri (knee), Oscar Bobb (leg + ankle)
MIGHT PLAY: Erling Haaland (knee)
“Yeah maybe [there is hope he will be fit], but I don’t know yet. We didn’t train today. Until tomorrow he will test, I guess, but I don’t know.
“It is better to have Erling on the pitch than to not have him, obviously. But with Erling, we’re in the position that we’re in right now. So, everybody is responsible for the good things and the bad things for the team. But of course with Erling we’re stronger.” – Pep Guardiola on Erling Haaland
MANCHESTER UNITED
RULED OUT: Amad Diallo (ankle), Luke Shaw (hamstring), Kobbie Mainoo (calf), Mason Mount (muscle), Lisandro Martinez (knee), Jonny Evans (muscle), Altay Bayindir (knock), Tom Heaton (knock), Toby Collyer (knock)
AVAILABLE: Leny Yoro (illness), Christian Eriksen (illness), Manuel Ugarte (knock)
“Yes [it’s been a better week] because we didn’t lose players. We recovered players. Chris [Eriksen], Manu [Ugarte] and Leny [Yoro] return.” – Ruben Amorim
“Amad [Diallo] is for a long time. I think Mase [Mount] continues to make his recovery. Luke [Shaw] continues to make his recovery. I don’t have a day [for their returns]. Toby [Collyer] seems to be the closest one but not now. Kobbie [Mainoo] is recovering. I don’t know. We have to adapt to use the players we have for the schedule.” – Ruben Amorim
NEWCASTLE UNITED
RULED OUT: Sven Botman (knee), Joelinton (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee)
“Don’t think he’ll be fit and available for this weekend. We’re going to have to see how things stand over the weekend for next week, that’s bar a remarkable recovery for this weekend. He’s making good progress but just not as quickly as we wanted him to. He’s very much on track, just not quite ready.” – Eddie Howe on Sven Botman
“Doing really well, pushing as Joe always does. We just need to make sure we introduce him at the right time.” – Eddie Howe on Joelinton
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
RULED OUT: Carlos Miguel (hamstring)
AVAILABLE: Taiwo Awoniyi (nose + concussion)
“He is clear on his concussion protocols so he is available. He will have to wear a mask, but he is OK. The mask is always something that bothers [players] but he is trying to get used to it. Neco is using one also, but I think he will be OK.” – Nuno Espirito Santo on Taiwo Awoniyi
SOUTHAMPTON
RULED OUT: Taylor Harwood-Bellis (ankle), Adam Lallana (hamstring), Ross Stewart (hamstring), Juan Larios (unknown)
MIGHT PLAY: Ryan Fraser (calf)
AVAILABLE: Jack Stephens (calf)

MIGHT PLAY: Timo Werner (hamstring)
AVAILABLE: Son Heung-min (knock), Kevin Danso (knock), Rodrigo Bentancur (knock)
“We’ve no new concerns, everyone has come through okay. The three guys who picked up knocks last week are all good, and we’ve had a good week to prepare.” – Ange Postecoglou
WEST HAM UNITED
RULED OUT: Lucas Paqueta (ankle), Niclas Fullkrug (hamstring), Crysencio Summerville (hamstring), Michail Antonio (leg)
MIGHT PLAY: Vladimir Coufal (hamstring)
“It was a training incident really, just an innocuous one. He went over on his ankle, a little bit of a collision with Aaron Wan-Bissaka. He has rolled his ankle. He will be missing for the [Arsenal] game, probably Leicester as well. We’ll see how he is but it’s swollen up a bit.
“We’ll take it day by day but I would imagine a week or two.” – Graham Potter on Lucas Paqueta
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS
RULED OUT: Emmanuel Agbadou (muscle), Rodrigo Gomes (knock), Hwang Hee-chan (hamstring), Yerson Mosquera (knee), Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Enso Gonzalez (knee), Leon Chiwome (knee)
