Danny Welbeck is a doubt for Arsenal’s visit to St Mary’s. Everton’s Tim Howard is out for up to six weeks with a calf injury. Palace skipper Mile Jedinak is unavailable for the trip to Villa due to the upcoming Asia Cup. Yaya Toure confirms he was rested for the weekend draw at Burnley and is not injured, whilst James Tomkins misses the Hammers’ home clash with West Brom due to suspension.

Arsene Wenger has concerns over Danny Welbeck as Arsenal head to Southampton. The Gunners boss has conceded the forward may miss out due to a thigh problem, though Tomas Rosicky returns to the squad after being rested at West Ham.

Ciaran Clark (back) and Tom Cleverley (foot) will be assessed for Aston Villa’s home match with Crystal Palace, whilst Joe Cole is back in training and available for selection. Fabian Delph is ruled out for three matches due to suspension.

Palace are without skipper Mile Jedinak for the Villa clash – the midfielder has joined up with the Australian national team ahead of the Asia Cup.

Yaya Toure has refuted Manuel Pellegrini’s suggestion that he missed the weekend clash with Burnley due to a groin injury. The Ivorian has confirmed he was merely rested for the 2-2 stalemate and hopes to be involved against Sunderland.

Tim Howard is sidelined for up to six weeks with a calf complaint for Everton. Phil Jagielka, John Stones and James McCarthy will be assessed prior to the trip to Hull, though Tony Hibbert, Leon Osman, Steven Pienaar and Darron Gibson all remain out.

Bojan is set for hamstring scans ahead of Stoke’s home encounter with Man United. Mark Hughes has conceded he expects the Spaniard to miss out, though Jon Walters is expected to fully recover from the illness that forced him onto the bench last time out. The Potters’ boss has revealed he is set to contact the Senegal FA in an attempt to postpone Mame Biram Diouf’s departure to the African Cup of Nations until after the Gameweek 21 clash with Arsenal.

Seb Larsson has returned to training after sustaining a weekend ankle injury and “has a chance”, according to Gus Poyet. Liam Bridcutt won’t be risked, though, after he was forced off with a head injury on Sunday.

James Tomkins is ruled out through suspension for West Ham’s home clash with West Brom, though Carl Jenkinson is available again – he was ineligible to face parent club Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

Swansea have confirmed Wilfried Bony and Ki Sung-yueng will play their final matches before departing for international duties tomorrow. The Welsh club will be without Jefferson Montero for up to a month after the Ecuadorian suffered a hamstring injury.

Ander Herrera and Adnan Januzaj are both back in training ahead of United’s trip to the Britannia, Louis van Gaal confirmed yesterday.

Leonardo Ulloa is available for Leicester’s trip to Anfield – the forward was replaced due to fatigue at the weekend, Nigel Pearson has confirmed. Andy King is sidelined for the Foxes and, whilst Jamie Vardy is available after serving a one-match ban, Paul Konchesky is sidelined for a similar timeframe.

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.

    Best option for a one week punt - CS essential, attacking points a bonus:

    A. Clichy
    B. Cresswell
    C. Janmatt
    D. Other - who up to 5.7m

    Other defs are Zabaleta - Hutton - Wisdom - Moore (posted missing)

          If it's only for one week, Sakho will be playing Leicester at home with presumably five at the back... If there's one game we're going to keep a cleansheet in it's this one! But alas it is Liverpool and sometimes it seems the worse the opposition the more we concede...

              😀

              There is a very long list indeed, but having watched every Liverpool game probably since he's been at the club I always have one eye on Skrtel and the other on the opposition teams ball carrier when we're defending. He's erratic, clumsy and lacks any kind of defensive positioning... His attacking threat doesn't justify the individual errors he makes on a game-by-game basis.

        I think Zaba and Chambers are probably the priorities for my lot.

        I'm probably saving this week so was thinking:

        GW20: Save
        GW21: Chambers -> Davies
        GW22: Zaba -> Baines

        which leaves me with another freebie to use in GW21/22 before a GW23 WC.

        Current squad is:

        Hart, Elliot
        Terry, Zaba, Wisdom, Hutton, Chambers
        Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Eriksen, Downing
        Costa, Austin, Kane

          Dummett for me - at home to a low scoring side

          QPR go for it at home so don't fancy SWA to get a cleanie this week.

    Best Capt pick??

    Benteke ( Jedinak out so Palace may really struggle)
    Austin ( far from a 1 game wonder)
    Hazard ( spurs defence give up a lot of chances..)
    Sterling ( only concern here is he may be rested)

        I think the captain choice is a lottery. Like most last week picked Austin...I just feel at white heart lane its quite open plus as its the third game most players will be tired so it should suite hazard.

          Do you see him scoring more than one goal against Chelsea? Personally I don't see spurs scoring at all so wouldn't consider benching him risky. He might score but benching him isn't likely to be a decision that defines your fantasy season. Stoke do alright at home but I see man utd scoring more than spurs.

              I just think it's a massive leap of faith. The guy has hardly performed when he's been injury free and match sharp. Now you are expecting him to come back from injury, start and tear it up.

              In the real world he probably plays 60minutes and isn't bang on it quite yet

                I agree with you about match fitness, but it's against a Sunderland side who have been very poor recently (e.g conceding 3 at home vs Hull). I have Silva as well, but I'm not convinced he can score for a fourth game in a row; that was the first time in the Premier League he'd ever scored in 3 consecutive games.

          I agree with you that it's not that bad a captaincy option. I think there's lots of people on here who subconsciously don't like the decision because they don't think they should bring Jovetic in, in the first place. But if you have him in your team, you can do much worse than captain him.
