Joachim Andersen begins a three-match ban after his sending off last weekend. That suspension will creep over into Gameweek 1 of 2026/27, too.
Ryan Sessegnon (muscle) also remains out but Alex Iwobi (hamstring) is back in contention after returning to training this week.
“Alex is back in contention to the game. Last week, he did some training sessions with us. This week, throughout the week, he’s been working with ourselves. It’s been a good week for him.
“Joachim Andersen is going to be out, as you know. Sessegnon is still out. All the other players are going to be available for the game.” – Marco Silva
