Press Conferences – GW10

Arsenal

Ruled out: Granit Xhaka (knee).
Might play: Kieran Tierney (ankle), Ben White (illness), Pablo Mari (illness) and Martin Odegaard (knock).

“He’s progressing in training. Let’s see again how he is. He felt a little bit better in the last few days but he wasn’t 100% ready to start the game [vs Leeds].”
~ Mikel Arteta on (Tierney)

Aston Villa

Ruled out: Trezeguet (knee) and Morgan Sanson (illness).
Fit: Emiliano Martinez.

“Emi (Martinez) will be back training with us today. He’s had some personal issues that he had to fly back home for, but he’s back today so I have no worries about his availability.”
~ Dean Smith

Brentford

Ruled out: David Raya (knee), Mads Bech Sorensen (knee), Josh Dasilva (hip), Shandon Baptiste (shoulder) and Yoane Wissa (ankle).
Might play: Vitaly Janelt (thigh), Bryan Mbeumo (hamstring) and Ethan Pinnock (hip).

“Both Ethan (Pinnock) and Bryan (Mbeumo) – I won’t say available, they will be assessed. There is a good chance that they could be available for Saturday. Sometimes with these injuries, 48 hours means a lot.”
~ Thomas Frank

Brighton

Ruled out: Dan Burn (knee), Danny Welbeck (thigh) and Steven Alzate (ankle).
Fit: Yves Bissouma and Adam Webster.

“We don’t know the full extent yet, but it was his knee. It doesn’t feel as bad. We just need to wait for his scan results.”
~ Graham Potter on (Burn)

Burnley

Ruled out: Dale Stephens (ankle) and Wayne Hennessey (ankle).
Fit: Ben Mee.

“Nothing serious, a few knocks and bruises. Everyone should be fine.”
~ Sean Dyche

Chelsea

Ruled out: Mateo Kovacic (hamstring), Romelu Lukaku (ankle), Christian Pulisic (ankle) and Timo Werner (thigh).
Fit: Andreas Christensen (teeth), Cesar Azpilicueta (shoulder), N’Golo Kante (muscle) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (hip).

“Timo (Werner), Romelu (Lukaku) are still out. Christian (Pulisic) did join training the last two training sessions but it’s still too early given the time that he missed. Everybody else is available. It’s realistic that both of them – Timo and Romelu – have a new target: after the international break. For Christian, we are looking forward to the Burnley match.”
~ Thomas Tuchel

Crystal Palace

Ruled out: Eberechi Eze (achilles) and Nathan Ferguson (Achilles).

“He has been really good. He had a full week with the first team where he did from the start to the end, he is doing really well. I was really pleased with where he is at the moment, but it is still too short for him to take part in the game tomorrow.”
~ Rafa Benitez on (Eze)

Everton

Ruled out: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (thigh), Abdoulaye Doucoure (foot) and Yerry Mina (hamstring).
Might play: Fabian Delph (shoulder) and Andre Gomes (calf).

“(Doucoure) is getting better, it seems that he’s progressing well. I cannot say how long exactly, but at least a couple of weeks. With the international break, hopefully after he will be fine.”
~ Rafa Benitez

Leeds Utd

Ruled out: Patrick Bamford (ankle), Robin Koch (pelvic) and Luke Ayling (knee).
Might play: Raphinha, Junior Firpo and Jamie Shackleton.

Leicester

Ruled out: James Justin (knee), Wesley Fofana (leg), Wilfred Ndidi (hamstring) and Marc Albrighton (knock).
Might play: Ricardo Pereira (muscle) and Ayoze Perez (illness).
Fit: Jamie Vardy.

“He’s okay. He’s trained the last couple of days so he’s fine.”
~ Brendan Rodgers on (Vardy)

Liverpool

Ruled out: Fabinho (knee), James Milner (hamstring) and Harvey Elliott (ankle)
Might play: Thiago Alcantara (calf).
Fit: Naby Keita (shin).

“With Fabinho, it doesn’t look that good – not too complicated but complicated enough to keep him out again, probably. I am still waiting for the last news but he was not in team training yet, which is never a good sign. Thiago was first time yesterday in team training, we did a session where he could be part of pretty much the whole session. It doesn’t mean he’s ready to play a football game, unfortunately.”
~ Jurgen Klopp

Man City

Ruled out: Ferran Torres (foot).

Man Utd

Ruled out: Paul Pogba (suspended).
Fit: Anthony Martial (knock) and Raphael Varane (thigh).

“Paul (Pogba) is suspended but, apart from that, it’s a fully fit squad. Which is a very strange position to be in, to have 25 outfield players and five keepers training.”
~ Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Newcastle

Ruled out: Elliot Anderson (knock) and Paul Dummett (calf).
Fit: Jonjo Shelvey and Martin Dubravka.

Norwich

Ruled out: Christoph Zimmermann (ankle), Ben Gibson (suspended), Todd Cantwell (lack of match fitness) and Sam Byram (lack of match fitness).

“There is not too much to update. Christoph (Zimmermann) had his ankle surgery and he’ll be out for several weeks. Other than that, more or less all the other players are available.”
~ Daniel Farke

Southampton

Ruled out: Armando Broja (ankle) and Jack Stephens (knee).
Fit: James Ward-Prowse.

“I think (Broja) is not available for the weekend because he had an ankle injury after the Burnley game when he scored the goal, so he will miss this game for sure. From the game on Tuesday we have one or two players with a little bit of a problem with muscles but not that hard. We have a good selection to pick the right team.”
~ Ralph Hassenhuttl

Spurs

Ruled out: Ryan Sessegnon (knock).
Might play: Bryan Gil (hamstring).

“Bryan (Gil) we have a problem with. We are assessing. (Sessegnon) is not involved, he is still not in the group. Normal knocks after the game.”
~ Nuno Espirito Santo

Watford

Ruled out: Emmanuel Dennis (suspension), Peter Etebo (thigh), Francisco Sierralta (hamstring) and Christian Kabasele (hamstring).
Might play: Kiko Femenia (hip).
Fit: Danny Rose.

West Ham

Might play: Alex Kral (illness).
Fit: Vladimir Coufal.

“In the main, we’re getting better. (Coufal) got some minutes. Ryan (Fredericks) is making progress. (Kral) has returned after isolating. Like everyone we’ve got some knocks and niggles and things, but hopefully we’ll be fine.”
~ David Moyes on (King)

Wolves

Ruled out: Yerson Mosquera (thigh), Jonny (knee), Pedro Neto (knee) and Marcal (calf).
Fit: Willy Boly.
