Jon Walters is a slight doubt for Stoke’s trip to Norwich. Andros Townsend is ruled out for Tottenham. Reece Oxford is doubtful for West Ham, Newcastle’s Moussa Sissoko is struggling to be fit for the trip to United, whilst Garry Monk will make a late decision on the fitness of Ki Sung-yeung.

Mark Hughes has revealed that Jon Walters is a slight concern for the weekend with illness, though the attacker has returned to training. Hughes also commented on Bojan’s availability, suggesting that the Spaniard could be “involved in some capacity” against the Canaries.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that Andros Townsend will miss the Leicester trip after suffering a minor ankle problem, having previously been sidelined by a shoulder injury.

Slaven Bilic will be without Mauro Zarate at the weekend, with the forward suffering a hamstring injury in training. Zarate revealed on his official twitter page that he expects to miss the Hammers’ next two matches. Reece Oxford is a doubt after missing a few days training with a niggle, according to the club’s official website. Adrian serves the first of a three-match ban after being sent off against Leicester last week.

Newcastle are sweating on the availability of Moussa Sissoko ahead of the weekend trip to Old Trafford. The midfielder came off in the loss to Swansea last week with a groin complaint and hopes to recover in time to be involved against Man United. Elsewhere Siem de Jong has returned to training for the Magpies, while Paul Dummett also joined in with the group as he steps up his recovery.

Leicester welcome back Mark Schwarzer, with the experienced stopper having recovered from illness after missing out last weekend. Christian Fuchs took a knock in training, but it is believed to be nothing serious and Claudio Ranieri expects the defender to train today and be in contention for the weekend.

Marouane Chamakh remains sidelined for Palace despite stepping up his recovery from a hamstring problem with a midweek run out for the reserves. Bakary Sako is set to be included in the squad for the visit of Villa.

Roberto Martinez has confirmed that Everton have picked up no new injuries ahead of the visit of City. Kevin Mirallas is now 100% fit – the Belgian was fielded as a sub last time out after being forced off with an ankle injury in the season opener with Watford.

Bournemouth’s Harry Arter could return to training next week, though manager Eddie Howe conceded he could be “some way off” a first-team comeback.

Ki Sung-yeung has returned to training after stepping up his recovery from a hamstring injury. Garry Monk has confirmed he will make a final decision on the Korean’s fitness after today’s training session.

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.

        On WC now, no Chelsea cover as it stands, but might leave a few millions ITB to upgrade Ayew once Chelsea's form improves and the picture is clearer.

        I thought this, and have a similar set up (Depay ins...however:

        - Not Wildcarding will give you better lay of the land for GW4.
        - Ozil this season being deployed as 10 will be involved with most things Sanchez does...new sorcerers apprentice as he was at Madrid (and will be involved in most of Arsenals goals in someway.
        - Silvas fixtures look far better so am holding onto Hazard for one more GW and then will make a call whether to throw in Silva...I'll have them both in a few weeks though!

        2 GW's is far too early to give up on Hazard, will definitely score points and let's be honest, if he'd have put away that shot that hit the post against City he'd be in everyone's template. He's getting chances..patience!

      I'd like to see a couple of players really cut loose who have yet to shine. Ramsey stands out, he was superb bar his finishing last weekend and could have had a hat trick, which would have really put the cat amongst the sanchez bandwagon pigeons. I remain to be convinced by that 11m price tag with rambo, ozil and santi all so much cheaper. And will look out to be hopefully proven right on that front rather than the opposite!
