The Weekend Team News

Arsenal are missing a trio of players for the visit of Fulham. Swansea’s injury troubles ease. Sylvain Distin returns for Everton. Joe Allen is back for Liverpool. John Guidetti is in Stoke’s squad to face Palace. Nathan Baker is ruled out for Villa, whilst James Collins may be fit for West Ham’s home clash against Newcastle:

Aaron Ramsey is still ruled out for Arsenal’s clash with Fulham and is joined on the sidelines by Thomas Vermaelen and Mikel Arteta, but Arsene Wenger expects the two midfielders to return for the Gameweek 23 trip to Southampton. Nacho Monreal and Tomas Rosicky are set for late tests, though the Gunners boss thinks ”both of them will be alright”.

Sylvain Distin has returned to training for Everton and could figure against West Brom on Monday evening. The Everton squad flew out for warm weather training in Tenerife and Roberto Martinez revealed new boy Aidan McGeady “looks sharp” as he continues to build up his match fitness.

Rene Meulensteen has confirmed that Fernando Amorebieta is Fulham’s only doubt as they prepare to take on Arsenal. The defender picked up a knee ligament problem in training and will need to be assessed.

West Ham are ”hopeful” James Collins will return from a calf injury for the home game against Newcastle. Ravel Morrison also confirmed to the club’s official website he has been working hard to get back to full fitness following a groin injury.

Chris Hughton gave an injury update on Thursday revealing that winger Anthony Pilkington and central midfielder Alex Tettey have both returned from injury lay-offs. The duo will be in the squad for Norwich’s clash with Hull this weekend.

Aston Villa will be without Nathan Baker for the trip to Anfield this weekend. The defender was stretchered off with concussion against Arsenal on Monday, with Paul Lambert revealing “he’s still feeling a bit groggy with a bit of a sore head”.

Brendan Rodgers reveals that Joe Allen has returned to training following an abductor problem and could figure against Aston Villa. The Liverpool boss also intends to check on the fitness of Mamadou Sakho, who has missed the last couple games with a hamstring issue.

Thomas Sorensen is back for Stoke but will have to accept a role on the bench, with Jack Butland a confirmed starter for the trip to Palace. Loan signing John Guidetti is also in the squad, though Robert Huth and Andy Wilkinson remain sidelined along with Asmir Begovic.

Swansea delivered positive news on the fitness of wingers Nathan Dyer, Pablo Hernandez and Roland Lamah ahead of the visit of Tottenham Hotspur. Roland Lamah is expected to return to the Swansea squad to face Spurs this weekend, whilst Pablo Hernandez and Nathan Dyer and Dwight Tiendalli are all in with a chance of shaking off injuries. Jonathan De Guzman remains sidelined with an ankle problem. Michel Vorm should return to training next week after minor knee surgery and Jose Canas awaits further scans on the ankle injury that forced him off at United.

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.

    Opinions on Cahill's likely playing time? Don't think I can afford to keep Terry on my WC team and the impending installment of Matic with Ramires (alongside all the other CMs) fit may mean Luiz is dropped to CB on occasion.

    My other defenders will be Kosc, Kolarov (another rotation risk), Ward and Chester

      😆 Love the Grav, Is the Puffin taking a FK or Penalty?

      The trouble with downgrading in top teams is that it increases the risk of missing game time. Maybe a top defender from another team with good fixtures at the same price? However much we try to convince ourselves they'll play, if they're 5th pick defender, that's what they are.

        Thanks, I'd like to think it's a penalty!

        Very true, current news aside, I would choose Clyne but I plan to have Boruc in goal and don't feel too keen on doubling up. Any other suggestions? No other fixture lists stand out to me now, aside from West Ham but injuries are very much a deterrent

        I'll only need to play 3 each week as I plan on having 4 midfielders I'm happy to play every week.

        I have considered Azpi but the whole Cashley form and Ivanovic return gives me food for thought.

        I remember reading somewhere that Azpi may have taken the LB position before due to Cashley's poor form / rib injury but now that's all healed it just leaves us stabbing in the dark.

        Hmmm! If only Kolarov was nailed on

    I´m truly amazed how AJ is flying under the radar here... by now there should be at least 50 RMTs with him in it. Are we not casuals anymore? What happened to the flavour of the week transfer?

      I have a feeling Stoke will score but I can't see United doing it. They couldn't score against Chelsea at Old Trafford with RVP and Rooney so what chance without them at the Bridge?

        Ward is playing OOP.Got a couple of chances against spurs last week.Thats what is tempting me to play him over Azpilicueta.Also just because ManU failed to score in their previous encounter doesn't guarantee the same result this time.

                Boruc and Mannone are statistically the best gks in the Prem League in terms of save %. That trumps rotation for me as it means if they concede there's a good chance there will be save points.

                Cardiff just don't look like a team where cleansheets are possible.

                Home/away car/sun are perfect, but look at the fixtures for south/sun.

                Do you reckon Car will keep Benteke/Remy or Cabaye/Jelavic or Long/Berbatov out?

                Because those are the home games you will have to play Marshall.
