DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 12 in one easily digestible dose.
Mikel Arteta is hopeful but not certain that Bukayo Saka (£6.3m), Martin Odegaard (£4.9m), Eddie Nketiah (£2.7m), Takehiro Tomiyasu (£2.3m) and Gabriel Jesus (£5.2m) will be fit and available for selection against Burnley this weekend.
“We have a few still in contention,” he said. “We need to give them another 24 hours to give them a chance to be involved in the game, but we won’t know anything until tomorrow.”
However, Emile Smith Rowe (£2.3m), Jurrien Timber (£3.3m) and Thomas Partey (£2.6m) will all definitely miss the game at Emirates Stadium.
Tomiyasu left the field with a knock against Sevilla midweek, and that could see a return for Oleksandr Zinchenko (£3.4m) to the starting XI.
PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR AHEAD OF THE WEEKEND’S ACTION – SOMEBODY MUST WIN AN XBOX SERIES X!
Burnley’s top scorer Lyle Foster (£1.8m) misses out after the recurrence of a mental health issue.
Tottenham have a swathe of absentees with Cristian Romero (£3.7m) and Destiny Udogie (£2.9m) both suspended after their dismissals against Chelsea on Monday.
Micky van der Ven (£3m) is out with a hamstring injury until January, and it’s a similar story for attacking duo James Maddison (£4.4m) and Richarlison (£2.6m).
Wolves winger Pedro Neto (£3.2m) remains sidelined with a hamstring issue.
Roy Hodgson hopes to have Michael Olise (£3m) and Eberechi Eze (£3.6m) fit for Saturday’s visit of Everton, who have doubts over the availability of Amadou Onana (£2.7m), Jarrad Branthwaite (£1.8m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£3m).
Erik ten Hag has most of his squad available, although Jonny Evans’ (£2.3m) muscle injury means he’s sidelined along with Luke Shaw (£4.9m) and Tyrell Malacia (£3m).
Newcastle striker Callum Wilson (£4.5m) is nursing a tight hamstring and remains a doubt for the trip to Bournemouth. He’s rated 50/50 but midfielder Bruno Guimaraes (£3.3m) is definitely out through suspension.
John Stones (£4.4m) joined Kevin De Bruyne (£6.7m) and Sergio Gomez (£1.9m) on the sidelines after picking up an injury which forced him off against Young Boys on Tuesday.
Armando Broja (£2m) is back for Chelsea, but Sunday will come too soon for nearly-fit duo Christopher Nkunku (£4m) and Romeo Lavia (£2.5m), along with Trevoh Chalobah (£2.5m), Carney Chukwuemeka (£1.6m), Ben Chilwell (£3.8m) and Wesley Fofana (£3m).
Brighton’s injury list grew against Ajax on Thursday. Pervis Estupinan (£3.2m), Lewis Dunk (£2.5m) and James Milner (£1.9m) all picked up injuries and will miss the contest with Sheffield United.
Julio Enciso (£2.2m), Tariq Lamptey (£2.1m), Solly March (£3.6m) and Danny Welbeck (£2.2m) remain out. It’s better news for the Blades, who are likely to have Anel Ahmedhodzic (£1.3m) and Oli McBurnie (£2.1m) back.
Lucas Paqueta (£3.7m) and Edson Alvarez (£2.2m) are available after serving suspensions last weekend. There’s no word of any fresh injuries from West Ham’s Europa League win over Olympiacos, and it’s unclear whether Kurt Zouma (£2.1m) will be fit for Sunday’s game.
Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister (£3.2m) is unavailable after collecting his fifth booking of the campaign last weekend, but otherwise Jurgen Klopp has no fresh doubts.
