With three matches still remaining of the Gameweek, we scour the post-match reports and injury rooms around the country to assess who has picked up problems over the weekend:

Arsenal
Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have emerged as doubts for tomorrow’s game against West Ham, Arsene Wenger has revealed. The Gunners boss confirmed both are suffering from muscle tightness after their exertions in last weekend’s FA Cup semi-final against Wigan, whilst Nacho Monreal and Lukas Podolski are also uncertain to feature. The latter pair were forced off against the Latics after picking up leg and muscle problems respectively.

Aston Villa
Leandro Bacuna missed Villa’s trip to Palace on Saturday after picking up a hamstring problem in training the day before.

Crystal Palace
Kagisho Dikgacoi lasted just 19 minutes of the weekend win over Villa before being subbed off with a knock.

Fulham
Cauley Woodrow missed the Cottagers’ 1-0 win over Norwich due to injury, the club’s official website has confirmed.

Liverpool
Daniel Sturridge was subbed off with 25 minutes remaining of the win over City due to a hamstring problem, Brendan Rodgers confirmed to the club’s official website:

“He felt a wee bit of tightness in his hamstring, so we’ll see how that is in the next couple of days.”

Man City
Yaya Toure was forced off with just 19 minutes on the clock during City’s loss at Liverpool due to a groin complaint. With the second match of his double Gameweek just two days away, the Ivorian is set for tests today, as Manuel Pellegrini confirmed:

“It’s difficult for Yaya to be in the next game. We will see tomorrow, I don’t know how serious he is injured. I think it will be difficult for him to finish playing this season.”

Newcastle
Davide Santon missed the 1-0 defeat at Stoke last weekend with an unspecified knock.

West Brom
Jonas Olsson will be assessed after being forced off with an Achilles issue in Saturday’s draw with Spurs. Pepe Mel remains hopeful the centre-half will be available for the trip to City a week today.

“He’s trained this week with some Achilles problems. Tomorrow he’ll undergo tests and we hope to have him for Monday week’s game.”

West Ham
Kevin Nolan is a concern for the Hammers’ trip to Arsenal tomorrow evening. In his pre-match press conference earlier today, Sam Allardyce revealed the midfielder is struggling to overcome a hamstring problem in time for the Emirates encounter.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      He should start and terrorize that defence.

    Which looks better for the last few weeks, fitness permitting - A or B? 🙂

    A)
    Eriksen • Ramsey • Silva • Sterling
    Suarez • Rooney • Aguero

    B)
    Eriksen • Ramsey • Silva • Gerrard
    Suarez • Ade • Aguero

    Sterling&Rooney or Gerrard&Ade basically? But it shows the rest this way. 😀

                Na, I like it. I've got Noone myself but probably just forget about that slot. Not worth a transfer.

                Upgrade AJ and it will look like most good midfields. 🙂 Unconvinced by Mata but hopefully he can stay central. 4-3-3 is tempting too.

            got him. funded aguero in, but sterling looks a good option if sturridge is injured.

            not feeling gerrard at that price, with the fixtures. prefer sterling if nailed and pushed up with suarez.

        Still some tricky games left too. Spurs, Stoke, Hull and Palace not pushovers.

        Hull may have one eye on cup final so they may be off their game but Stoke are capable of beating them. Palace would probably love to send Fulham down on the last day, that's just the way it often goes.

        Cardiff could well yet escape relegation, its that tight down there and several teams like Norwich and Villa in freefall above them.

    With Yaya out and Aguero maybe limited game time, who'll be on pens? Guessing one of Dzecko/Silva/Nasri?

    lease note Sylvain Distin received a caution during Everton’s match against Sunderland on Saturday. The yellow card was omitted from the data feed on Saturday and now, having received clarification from the referee’s report, Distin’s points have been changed to reflect this. We apologise for any confusion caused.

        Agreed, given how certain people were calling them a sham/joke etc.

        Actually there was a lot of shit said on here about how amateur they were being before people even attempted to search for whether or not it was their mistake. Fair play to them.

        Why then did they send on the template "we will not be changing this" e-mail to all who complained??

        It's a recurring theme - we know it was wrong but we can't change it coz it's more than an hour after the last game of the day- then they change it the next day and see sense.

    Not saying they made the wrong decision (of course they made the correct one), but seeing how this has now happened twice, FPL should just remove the one hour rule.

    It basically mean nothing

      I'd rather they broke the rules than made mistakes out of pure stubbornness.

      The 1 hour rule is stupid. It seems to have been brought in after the "Balegate" goal last season when they gave a goal to Huddlestone,then said they were reviewing, then said it was still Hud,then said they were reviewing again,then gave the goal to Bale.......................

      I agree they should have a deadline, but that should be when the Gameweek closes.................
