ARSENAL
RULED OUT: Ben White (knee), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee)
MIGHT PLAY: Oleksandr Zinchenko (knock)
AVAILABLE: Riccardo Calafiori (groin), Declan Rice (knock)
“They are both available to be in the squad.” – Mikel Arteta on Riccardo Calafiori and Declan Rice
ASTON VILLA
RULED OUT: Jacob Ramsey (hamstring)
AVAILABLE: Leon Bailey (hamstring), Tyrone Mings (illness)
“Tyrone Mings and Leon Bailey tomorrow are in the squad. Not Jacob Ramsey, he is still progressing well but not yet available for tomorrow.” – Unai Emery
BOURNEMOUTH
RULED OUT: Marcos Senesi (thigh), Marcus Tavernier (hamstring), Alex Scott (knee), Luis Sinisterra (hamstring), Julian Araujo (hamstring)
“I think it’s going to be, if not the same, then a very, very similar squad. It’s going to be the same, yes. No changes.” – Andoni Iraola
BRENTFORD
RULED OUT: Ethan Pinnock (hamstring), Sepp van den Berg (groin), Mathias Jensen (hamstring), Igor Thiago (infection), Rico Henry (knee), Aaron Hickey (hamstring), Josh Dasilva (knee), Gustavo Nunes (back)
“Sepp has got a minor groin injury. It will likely be too quick for Saturday but we will see over the next 36 hours. Ethan, we don’t know the full picture, but when it is a hamstring injury we are probably looking at a longer one.” – Thomas Frank on Sepp van den Berg and Ethan Pinnock
BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION
RULED OUT: Jack Hinshelwood (knee), Ferdi Kadioglu (toe), James Milner (hamstring)
MIGHT PLAY: Danny Welbeck (ankle), Adam Webster (hamstring), Solly March (knee), Matt O’Riley (knock)
AVAILABLE: Joel Veltman (unknown)
“He is not in the best shape, to be honest. But then we have to really keep looking week for week because this is an issue that can heal fast and can also heal slow. It’s unpredictable.” – Fabian Hurzeler on Danny Welbeck
CHELSEA
RULED OUT: Reece James (hamstring), Marc Cucurella (suspended), Mykhailo Mudryk (ban), Benoit Badiashile (knock), Wesley Fofana (hamstring), Omari Kellyman (hamstring)
MIGHT PLAY: Romeo Lavia (hamstring)
AVAILABLE: Pedro Neto (back from suspension)
“Both [Fofana and Badiashile] are still out and both will still be out for a long period. Reece [James], finally will start with us for part of the [Friday] session. So slowly, slowly will be back. That doesn’t mean he is going to be with us on Sunday or next Sunday.” – Enzo Maresca
“Next week we have three games, so we continue to play many games, and then in January, the FA Cup will start. I don’t know. Now, Sunday is the game, then Wednesday. Game by game, we will choose the best 11 – not the best, the ones that we think are the right ones for the game – and then we see.” – Enzo Maresca
CRYSTAL PALACE
RULED OUT: Eberechi Eze (foot), Daniel Munoz (suspended), Adam Wharton (groin), Matheus Franca (groin)
MIGHT PLAY: Chadi Riad (knee)
AVAILABLE: Joel Ward (calf)
“He got a hit against Brighton on his foot. He played with quite a swollen foot at the Emirates and also got the next kick there. So he is not 100%.
“We need every player 100% so it makes sense, we decided that he gets a rest and hopefully will be available for Bournemouth. It doesn’t look serious, but you have to wear the boots, kick the ball and it is painful, it is not that free in terms of movement.” – Oliver Glasner on Eberechi Eze
EVERTON
RULED OUT: Armando Broja (ineligible to face parent club), James Garner (back), Tim Iroegbunam (foot)
MIGHT PLAY: Dwight McNeil (knee), Youssef Chermiti (foot)
“Dwight [McNeil] is probably going to be touch-and-go. He’s got a niggly knee that we’re being careful with, so we’re hopeful but we’ll have to wait and see.” – Sean Dyche
FULHAM
RULED OUT: Andreas Pereira (suspended), Kenny Tete (knee), Reiss Nelson (hamstring), Harrison Reed (knee)
MIGHT PLAY: Joachim Andersen (calf)
AVAILABLE: Tom Cairney (back from suspension), Calvin Bassey (back from suspension)

LEICESTER CITY
RULED OUT: Abdul Fatawu (knee), Wilfred Ndidi (hamstring), Ricardo Pereira (hamstring)
MIGHT PLAY: Mads Hermansen (groin), Jakub Stolarczyk (ankle)
AVAILABLE: Harry Winks (groin), Boubakary Soumare (back from suspension)
“Harry [Winks] this week was fully part of team training. He’s available for selection again which is very positive news for the squad, for the team.” – Ruud van Nistelrooy
“We keep our options open. We know that we’re going for Mads [Hermansen], to see if he can make it. If not, we have a decision to make. We have to wait on today and tomorrow, how training goes.
“We know also that the situation is that Jakub [Stolarczyk] is recently only back from a long injury. He’s just played one game in the under-21s. All that information, we will analyse, and make the best decision possible.” – Ruud van Nistelrooy on who gets the nod between the posts
LIVERPOOL
RULED OUT: Ibrahima Konate (knee), Conor Bradley (hamstring)
AVAILABLE: Alexis Mac Allister (back from suspension), Andrew Robertson (back from suspension), Kostas Tsimikas (foot)
“These are the two that are still ‘in the red’, so they don’t train with us at the moment. They are on their way back but they don’t train with the team yet. [Providing a timeline] is, what I’ve said before, quite difficult. We thought, I thought, that [Diogo] Jota would have been back a bit earlier already and sometimes the end stage of rehab takes a bit longer.” – Arne Slot on Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate
MANCHESTER CITY
RULED OUT: Ruben Dias (muscle), Nathan Ake (hamstring), Rodri (knee), Oscar Bobb (leg)
MIGHT PLAY: Ederson (knock), Manuel Akanji (pelvis/adductor)
AVAILABLE: Rico Lewis (back from suspension)
“Ruben is out for a long time, Ederson I don’t know will be ready tomorrow. Three or four weeks [Dias] will be out. Muscular. 75 minutes against United, he felt something but he’s so strong and he wanted to stay on the pitch – and now he’s injured.” – Pep Guardiola
“I don’t know yet. Yesterday was their first training session I would say properly, have been out for a while. We’ll see tomorrow.” – Pep Guardiola on whether John Stones or Manuel Akanji could start in Gameweek 17
MANCHESTER UNITED
RULED OUT: Luke Shaw (muscle), Mason Mount (knock)
MIGHT PLAY: Matthijs de Ligt (illness), Victor Lindelof (muscle)
AVAILABLE: Noussair Mazraoui (knock),
“Several weeks. I don’t know the exact date but it’s going to be for long. And that’s it, it’s part of football and you continue.” – Ruben Amorin on Mason Mount
NEWCASTLE UNITED
RULED OUT: Joelinton (suspended), Nick Pope (knee), Callum Wilson (hamstring), Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Emil Krafth (collarbone)
“He had a cut mouth so probably not being available this weekend is a good thing for him because it allows him to rest those bruises and wounds and then, hopefully, be fully fit for the week after.” – Eddie Howe on Joelinton
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
RULED OUT: Danilo (ankle), Ibrahima Sangare (hamstring)
MIGHT PLAY: Murillo (knock), Ryan Yates (ankle)
AVAILABLE: Alex Moreno (was ineligible to face parent club)
“We have a lot of things to assess and problems we had in the previous game. Someone was speaking about our [positive] record in terms of injuries; he speaks and suddenly we have problems. You never know. After a game, you have to assess a lot of things. We still have tomorrow to prepare and assess the players, and then go to London.” – Nuno Espirito Santo
SOUTHAMPTON
RULED OUT: Jack Stephens (suspended), Ross Stewart (hamstring), Will Smallbone (hamstring), Gavin Bazunu (Achilles), Juan Larios (unknown)
MIGHT PLAY: Kyle Walker-Peters (muscle), Aaron Ramsdale (finger), James Bree (knock)
“We’re hopeful that we’ll have one or two available that weren’t available the other day. Kyle [Walker-Peters] trained today. He had a bit of tightness before the game against Liverpool and probably opted to err on the side of caution with that one. It is good to see Kyle back out there today. And I’m hopeful he’s in contention for Sunday.
“[Ramsdale has] been back in and involved. I think that’s a conversation to have. But he’s definitely not far away. I think probably, you know, whether he’s involved and available is probably still a conversation. But it’s looking positive.” – Interim manager Simon Rusk
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
RULED OUT: Cristian Romero (hamstring), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Rodrigo Bentancur (suspended), Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Richarlison (hamstring), Ben Davies (hamstring), Wilson Odobert (hamstring), Mikey Moore (virus)
MIGHT PLAY: Destiny Udogie (knock), Timo Werner (illness)
AVAILABLE: Yves Bissouma (back from suspension)
“Hopefully. We’ll see, the boys are just coming in now, we had a late night. Timo was unwell yesterday but we’ve got 48 hours before the game so hopefully he will recover. The plan is Destiny should be ok.” – Ange Postecoglou on Timo Werner and Destiny Udogie
WEST HAM UNITED
RULED OUT: Michail Antonio (leg), Carlos Soler (suspended)
AVAILABLE: Emerson (back from suspension)
“We have a little problem with one player, so we have to check and to assess maybe this night if he is going to stay or not. It’s going to be very similar, the squad list, but maybe we can have one change.” – Julen Lopetegui
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS
RULED OUT: Rayan Ait-Nouri (suspended), Pablo Sarabia (calf), Yerson Mosquera (knee), Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Boubacar Traore (knee), Enso Gonzalez (knee)
MIGHT PLAY: Jose Sa (shoulder), Matheus Cunha (possible suspension)
AVAILABLE: Joao Gomes (back from suspension)
