Christian Benteke could be set to return to the Villa squad to face City. Daniel Sturridge remains a doubt for Liverpool. The central midfield woes build for Burnley, Stoke have worries out wide for their trip to Sunderland, Hull are set to be without their number one keeper for the next month, whilst Nacho Monreal may be back for Arsenal.

Sean Dyche faces a problem in central midfield ahead of the trip to Leicester. The Burnley boss has confirmed that Dean Marney and David Jones are still unavailable, whilst Nathaniel Chalobah is also ruled out after sustaining a throat injury during a midweek reserve outing.

Christian Benteke looks set to return to the Villa squad for the first time in months. The Belgian turned out for the reserves in midweek as he steps up his recovery from an anterior ligament injury, though Paul Lambert has admitted Ron Vlaar is likely to miss out yet again as City roll up to Villa Park.

Steve Harper is set to start for Hull’s home encounter with Palace after Allan McGregor was ruled out for around four weeks with a shoulder injury.

Nacho Monreal has a chance of returning in time for Arsenal’s trip to Chelsea, Arsene Wenger confirmed earlier this morning.

Mame Biram Diouf is unavailable for Stoke this weekend after sustaining a hamstring injury in Monday’s win over Newcastle. Victor Moses is expected to shake off a minor thigh problem in time for the trip to Sunderland.

Wes Brown is available for the Black Cats once again after missing out with a calf complaint last weekend. Emmanuel Giaccherini remains a doubt for Gus Poyet’s side, though.

Brendan Rodgers has admitted he’ll have to “wait and see” over Daniel Sturridge’s fitness as Liverpool prepare to face West Brom. The Reds boss has confirmed the likes of Joe Allen, Emre Can, Jon Flanagan, Glen Johnson and Mamadou Sakho remain sidelined.

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.

        Costa. I have Aguero but Costa high ownership and likely high captaincy will destroy you if he opens up on Arsenal's likelihood to concede big against top teams. I'd love to say Wenger is not too stubborn to change his ways but he isnt, he'll set up the same as if we were playing Burnley at home.

    Who to bring in long term?:

    A) Fabregas (have Costa, Terry)
    B) Silva
    C) ADM

    Keep rotating around the three, thinking Silva as he should get good points if Aguero scores a lot. But the other two are tempting me...

        Tough one. Keep changing back and forth, have a feeling I'll get the wrong one.

    Is it madness to sell Fabregas.
    Everyone in my mini league has the same midfield of:
    Fabregas, Di Maria, Siggy, sterling.

    I also have Aguero/Costa/Welbeck
    Mannonne;
    van alhold/Wisdom/Ivanovic/Collocini/Duff
    albrighton
    Thanks for the advice!

      Not madness. I like Fabregas, but atm I don't think there's any essential midfielders.
