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.

      Pelle > Sakho/Diouf

      Payet > Sanchez

      Sorted. Unless you get Diouf rather than Sakho, in which probably downgrade Redmond and upgrade Ayew instead to keep West Ham coverage (arguably don't need both Gomis and Ayew anyways)

    Got Hoolahan and Albrighton. Can only start one, who should I pick?

    Leaning towards Albrighton due to form and Spurs defence being a bit rocky.

      I think Hoolahan will do well against Stoke. If Norwich score, he'll have a hand in it but Albrighton is more of a goal threat. Go with Hoolahan.

    REPOST:

    Would anyone go for these moves, currently on WC?

    Kolarov > Darmain > Kompany + Williams (Kola rotation risk and Darmain's poor fixtures)

    Gomis or Benteke > Diouf (free up funds)

    Silva > Yaya (free up funds)

    Current squad:

    McCarthy

    Darmain Kolarov Huth

    Silva Sanchez Payet Mahrez

    Gomis Kun Benteke

    subs: Myhill Richards Anya Saylor

      1) Agree with this, Kompany is looking strong and more secure starter and williams will bring more in over next few weeks than Darmian I feel.

      2) Hold onto Gomis, especially if havent already got Ayew - he will have fun against Sunderland I think - maybe tekkers down to Diouf, depends what you need the money for - I'm personally giving Pelle one more week in WC team, then ready to switch him out to Benteke or Diouf if needed

      3) Only if you need the funds for fitting in a bigger name, Forwards look strong enough so dont think need any investment there (still not fancying Rooney) and some good coverage

      Team looks good though, I am going for quite similar, I have Ayew at moment as well though, just think Swansea are on such a good streak and cant decide between him and Gomis to keep, and think Sunderland going to give them both good return. If you do decide to free up the cash then spend a little to boost up Saylor and Anya imo, there are some decent options for 5th def and 5th mid for just little bit more cash.

    Ox has dropped 0.1 and is most likely not going to start from now on.. Should I take the 4 point hit for GW3 & onwards and replace him? which will give me 6.3m ITB
