sportsmole.co.uk, 26 April 2024, 15:13
ARSENAL

Gameweek 35 opponents: Tottenham (A)

Out: None

Doubtful: Jurrien Timber (knee)

Mikel Arteta quotes: "Availability we mentioned before that it was something key. Apart from Jurrien [Timber] it's going to be very close that we have everybody available. It elevates the training sessions and it's going to be something very important.

"It's a good headache! You feel for the players because you see how much they want it. It's always difficult but as well they're fully ready to come on the pitch however we need them. There spirit is very good.

"We have to make that decision tomorrow (on Timber) after the training session. He's very close, I don't know if this is too early, but he's very close now."

ASTON VILLA

Gameweek 35 opponents: Chelsea (H)

Out: Emiliano Buendia (knee), Tyrone Mings (knee), Boubacar Kamara (knee), Jacob Ramsey (toe), Alex Moreno (calf), Nicolo Zaniolo (hamstring)

Doubtful: None

Unai Emery quotes: "Tyrone Mings, Emi Buendia, Jacob Ramsey and Boubacar Kamara, they aren't available for tomorrow. Alex Moreno and Nicolo Zaniolo, they aren't available tomorrow.

"The other players, I think they're going to be available."

BOURNEMOUTH

Gameweek 35 opponents: Brighton (H)

Out: Ryan Fredericks (calf), Luis Sinisterra (thigh), Marcus Tavernier (hamstring), Tyler Adams (back), Milos Kerkez (suspended), Chris Mepham (illness), Romain Faivre (thigh)

Doubtful: None

Andoni Iraola quotes: "They answered straight away and [Kerkez] will serve the three game suspension. I had my hopes, I don't feel like it's a red card.

"To overturn a decision, I've seen it in Spain, it has to be super clear but it hasn't happened. We finished Wednesday with a couple of knocks, not massive injuries but some need time to recover."

BRENTFORD

Gameweek 35 opponents: Everton (A)

Out: Josh Dasilva (knee), Rico Henry (knee), Ben Mee (ankle), Aaron Hickey (hamstring)

Doubtful: Ivan Toney (hip)

Thomas Frank quotes: "[Toney] is progressing, it is better, and I hope he is available for Saturday. There is still one more training.

"Ivan just loves to play football. He just wants to get out there and play. All footballers have that same feeling, and of course the Euros are coming up and that's important. But he's also aware that it's important to be fit to go out and perform.

"[Hickey] is progressing. Because he's been out for so long, I'm not counting on it (returning before the end of the season). Let's see what happens during the next couple of weeks but I'm not expecting it."

BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION

Gameweek 35 opponents: Bournemouth (A)

Out: Solly March (knee), Kaoru Mitoma (back), Jack Hinshelwood (foot), Billy Gilmour (knee), Evan Ferguson (ankle), James Milner (thigh), Tariq Lamptey (muscle), Pervis Estupinan (calf)

Doubtful: None

BURNLEY

Gameweek 35 opponents: Man United (A)

Out: Aaron Ramsey (knee), Nathan Redmond (thigh), Luca Koleosho (thigh), Jordan Beyer (thigh), Ameen Al-Dakhil (unspecified)

Doubtful: None

CHELSEA

Gameweek 35 opponents: Aston Villa (A)

Out: Wesley Fofana (knee), Romeo Lavia (thigh), Reece James (hamstring), Christopher Nkunku (hamstring), Levi Colwill (foot), Lesley Ugochukwu (hamstring), Enzo Fernandez (groin), Ben Chilwell (knee), Malo Gusto (knee)

Doubtful: Cole Palmer (illness), Robert Sanchez (illness)

Mauricio Pochettino quotes: "Yes, Cole [Palmer] was training well in the last few days. We assume he is going to be ready for tomorrow, be part of the squad.

"I think Cole is a very good player for us and he is a key player for us and it is showing that we are struggling a little bit without him. That is the reality we cannot hide.

"[Reece James and Levi Colwill] are not available yet they are close. Yesterday, they were doing some training with the squad. They are close but still not available."

CRYSTAL PALACE

Gameweek 35 opponents: Fulham (A)

Out: Sam Johnstone (elbow), Cheick Doucoure (Achilles), Marc Guehi (knee), Matheus Franca (groin), Jefferson Lerma (hamstring), Rob Holding (thigh)

Doubtful: Eberechi Eze (knee)

Oliver Glasner quotes: "Ebere is questionable for tomorrow: he has a problem with his knee. We will decide tomorrow if it makes sense [for him to play]. He was knocked down many times in the [Newcastle] game, so we will see.

"Everyone else is fit: nobody new is back, but just this one [new issue]. It was a match injury; we didn't really train for two days now. We were just doing recovery.

"[Michael Olise] would have been fit to start before the Newcastle game, but we spoke and then we decided together that it makes sense to give him fewer minutes against Newcastle and have him fit against Fulham. Everything worked and the most important thing is that we got the three points."

EVERTON

Gameweek 35 opponents: Brentford (H)

Out: Dele Alli (groin), Lewis Dobbin (ankle), Nathan Patterson (hamstring)

Doubtful: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (illness), Seamus Coleman (groin), Vitaliy Mykolenko (ankle)

Sean Dyche quotes: "Mykolenko is unlikely. We'll see how that settles. He needs a scan on that to know the truth of it, but it's not great - the early signs. We'll see how that settles.

"[Dominic Calvert-Lewin] has had a bit of illness, so we're hopeful that passes. He had it before the game [against Liverpool], so I must commend him on that. I thought he was outstanding, and I thought his physical performance was outstanding. He's still not quite over it, so we hope that settles down in the next day or two."

FULHAM

Gameweek 35 opponents: Crystal Palace (H)

Out: None

Doubtful: Willian (groin)

Marco Silva quotes: "[Willian]'s probably going to be involved, going to be involved in the match. He trained last few days with us and the reaction has been good from him.

"We are going to assess him, we just finished the session, and after we have to take the decision for the game, but probably we are going to see him there."

LIVERPOOL

Gameweek 35 opponents: West Ham (A)

Out: Joel Matip (knee), Thiago Alcantara (thigh), Conor Bradley (ankle), Diogo Jota (groin)

Doubtful: None

Jurgen Klopp quotes: "Both [Conor Bradley and Diogo Jota] are not ready. Nobody told me yet they will start training in the next few days.

"Cody Gakpo is in contention. Everything is fine with the new-born, all is well, he is back in training."

LUTON TOWN

Gameweek 35 opponents: Wolves (A)

Out: Tom Lockyer (heart issue), Amari'i Bell (hamstring), Marvelous Nakamba (knee), Elijah Adebayo (thigh), Chiedozie Ogbene (hamstring), Jacob Brown (knee), Issa Kabore (ankle), Dan Potts (thigh), Mads Andersen (calf)

Doubtful: None

Rob Edwards quotes: "It's a real shame because [Kabore]'s been great for us and consistent for us - I'm disappointed for him.

"Issa's always done what we've asked of him and played an important role. We've really enjoyed working with him. He's a diamond of a lad and commits 100 per cent every single day. We'll support him and get him back on his feet.

"Eli's getting closer but tomorrow will be too soon. He'll be the next one off the conveyor belt in terms of the injured lads next to be back.

"[Ogbene]'s been on the grass this week. He's got a chance for the final two games but he's behind Eli in terms of timescales."

MANCHESTER CITY

Gameweek 35 opponents: Nottingham Forest (A)

Out: None

Doubtful: Erling Haaland (muscle)

Pep Guardiola quotes: "I prefer to have Erling at my disposal than to [be without him]. He says he feels better [but] I don't know [for Sunday]."

MANCHESTER UNITED

Gameweek 35 opponents: Burnley (H)

Out: Luke Shaw (thigh), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Anthony Martial (groin), Lisandro Martinez (calf), Victor Lindelof (thigh), Raphael Varane (muscle), Jonny Evans (muscle), Marcus Rashford (foot), Willy Kambwala (unspecified)

Doubtful: None

Erik ten Hag quotes: "So same squad but apart from Mason Mount. He will return into the squad.

"I think we will see them [Shaw, Martinez and Martial] all in the season. They all returned onto the pitch. Next week, they have to make the step into team training and they can be available for the last weeks. They progress well."

NEWCASTLE UNITED

Gameweek 35 opponents: Sheffield United (H)

Out: Sandro Tonali (suspended), Sven Botman (knee), Lewis Miley (back), Joelinton (thigh), Nick Pope (shoulder), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Miguel Almiron (knee), Kieran Trippier (calf), Joe Willock (Achilles), Matt Targett (Achilles)

Doubtful: Valentino Livramento (ankle)

Eddie Howe quotes: "Tino came on against Tottenham and had a slight reaction in his ankle after that game. It was minimal. It is the same story with a few of the players, we are having to look after him and hopefully those few days rest will make a big difference. Let's see how he feels today before making a decision on him tomorrow.

"Nick [Pope] is beginning to start his early training sessions with us. He has started to be with outfield players in shooting drills. Joelinton has seen a specialist and is working on his own programme. Miggy (Miguel Almiron) is there or thereabouts and could be back next week.

"Callum [Wilson] came through fine, I thought he looked good and worked well with the lads around him. He had a couple of dangerous moments, that was a positive from Wednesday."

NOTTINGHAM FOREST

Gameweek 35 opponents: Man City (H)

Out: Willy Boly (muscle), Taiwo Awoniyi (muscle)

Doubtful: None

SHEFFIELD UNITED

Gameweek 35 opponents: Newcastle (A)

Out: Max Lowe (ankle), Rhys Norrington-Davies (hamstring), Chris Basham (foot), John Egan (ankle), Rhian Brewster (hamstring), Daniel Jebbison (ill), George Baldock (calf), Tom Davies (thigh), Oli McBurnie (thigh)

Doubtful: Jack Robinson (ankle), James McAtee (groin)

Chris Wilder quotes: "It's a massive blow for us, but it goes alongside a lot of the situations we've had all season. It's a really disappointing one. [McBurnie] went to see a surgeon, a specialist, it doesn't require surgery, but obviously that's a big one to miss from a leadership and experience point of view.
