The Weekend Team News

Siem de Jong is available for Newcastle’s trip to Aston Villa. Antonio Valencia and Jonny Evans join Robin van Persie in returning to full training for United. Mikel Arteta is ruled out of Arsenal’s trip to Everton. Marc Albrighton could return for Leicester’s clash with Chelsea at the Bridge, whilst Palace and West Ham have doubts in defence as the pair prepare to square up at Selhurst Park.

Newcastle have been boosted by the return of Siem de Jong from injury, with Alan Pardew confirming that the summer signing will be in the squad to face Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Cheick Tiote is will miss out once more with a hamstring injury, though Pardew has revealed that the midfielder has started running outside, as he works towards taking part in full training.

Manchester United could welcome back Antonio Valencia for the trip to Wearside, with the winger having returned to training this week. Reports confirm both Jonny Evans and Robin van Persie were also back in full training yesterday.

Arsene Wenger has conceded that Mikel Arteta will miss the weekend clash with ex-club Everton, after the midfielder sprained his ankle in midweek. Wenger also suggested that he “will check” whether the German contingent of Per Mertesacker, Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski are available for selection ahead of the trip to Goodison Park.

James Tomkins has added to Sam Allardyce’s concerns at the back, with the central defender a doubt to face Crystal Palace after missing the opener due to injury.

Crystal Palace’s caretaker boss Keith Millen could be without Scott Dann for the weekend, with the defender rated as having an outside chance to face West Ham. Dann will undergo further assessment today, though the Eagles boss could welcome back Adrian Mariappa to the squad after injury. Jonny Williams is fit again and available for selection, whilst Jerome Thomas could also be in contention to feature.

Nigel Pearson is hopeful that Jamie Vardy and Marc Albrighton will be in the squad to face Chelsea, with the pair taking part in full training during the week. However midfielders Danny Drinkwater and Matty James look set to miss the trip to Stamford Bridge through injury, though Pearson suggests the duo “aren’t far away” from a return.

Saints boss Ronald Koeman has revealed that Gaston Ramirez will miss the weekend visit of West Brom with a groin injury. Koeman will also assess the fitness of new defender Florin Gardos before deciding whether or not to include him in the squad to face the Baggies – the centre-half missed out last weekend due to a hamstring problem.

West Brom boss Alan Irvine has confirmed every player aside from Joleon Lescott finished full training yesterday, with the likes of Gareth McAuley and James Morrison returning to action after missing the home draw against Sunderland last time around.

All this and more has now been updated in the Team News section ahead of tomorrow’s deadline. Keep an eye on our official twitter stream as breaking news unfolds.

        Hazard
        Fabregas

        Morning folks, apologies if this is a common one but could do with a few opinions...

        It's the Jovatic problem: worried that he'll drop back to the bench vs 'Pool and I'll be left with one of Wisdom (sou), van Aanholt (MUN) or Marney (SWA). Sadly however I have 0.0 in the bank and as such would have to punt on someone 7.5 or cheaper as there really no options at 8.0.

        Q: Save my FT and get in a solid replacement next week or take a punt this week? Cheers 🙂

          I'm in the same boat, and am sticking with Jovetic for 1 more week, saving the FT and using the 2 to change Jovetic and Young to a different pair, which I'm not sure on yet.

          I don't think there is a standout striker at less than 8m, Remy maybe, but he plays for QPR after all...

          Stick with Jovetic, I don't think Pellegrini will rush Aguero back so he could get a good 60m and you never know what he is capable of, but this is his last chance for me.

        I also know that the max rise is 0.3 per week, but why?

          Penalties are still only a minor part of what he does. I am more concerned about where Fab is playing than I was.
          I thought he was due to play further back. But I won't panic buy one to the other, I'll wait a week or two and see how the mid-field looks after a few games.

          I made the call to go with Terry at the start of the season because he is club captain and for the first part of the season atleast, there aren't midweek UCL games or anything, so I'm sure he's capable of playing 1 game a week, every week.

          As you say, Cahill seems at risk of Ivan moving into CB, Azpili going RB and Luis at LB.
