There is team news from two more Premier League managers to bring you ahead of Gameweek 38.

Rubem Amorim and Ange Postecoglou faced the media on Saturday, with the headline updates from their press conferences below.

For the injury news from the other 18 top-flight clubs, check out this article.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

Son Heung-min (foot) and Cristian Romero (toe) will miss Gameweek 38, while Yves Bissouma (knock) is “50/50”.

Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Timo Werner (hamstring), James Maddison (knee), Lucas Bergvall (ankle) and Radu Dragusin (knee) also remain out.

“There will be a couple of absences. Romero has been struggling with his toe for quite a while, so we’ll leave him out and probably Sonny, as well, because his foot has still not healed. They’ve both made a massive effort to get to the final. Bissouma got a knock in the game, so he’s kind of 50/50 at the moment. The rest of them, physically anyway, are ok.” – Ange Postecoglou

Despite the Lilywhites letting their hair down over the last few days, Ange Postecoglou insists they’ll be in good shape on Sunday.

“I really feel you need to celebrate your achievements properly and that was kind of my message to the boys.

“It’s important to make the experience as memorable as possible so that when I ask them to climb the mountain again, there’s a reason for it. It’s fair to say they took my words literally and certainly enjoyed themselves over the last couple of days!

“The boys are all good, we’ll be good tomorrow.” – Ange Postecoglou

MANCHESTER UNITED

Jonny Evans (unknown), Diogo Dalot (calf), Leny Yoro (foot) and, ahead of schedule, Joshua Zirkzee (hamstring) were all back in the United squad for Wednesday’s defeat in Bilbao.

That left only two players on the injury list.

Lisandro Martinez (knee) is definitely out for what remains of 2024/25, while Matthijs de Ligt (knee) was only doing individual training as of midweek.

There are no fresh disclosed injuries in the press conference but Ruben Amorim said to MUTV that he will “be careful” with some players, such as Yoro, on the final day.

 “No, there are some situations, like Leny. We have to be careful. We had that in the last [home] game before the final, I think it was West Ham, on his foot. 

“We’re going to take care of some situations so as not to compromise next season. The rest, we want to win the game so we are going to put a squad together.” – Ruben Amorim

  2. Atimis

    My rival has Wissa, could get Wissa as well to match him but don’t you think Evanilson and Welb gonna outscore Wissa this week?

    1. Samurai Blue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      Welbeck for me

  3. Samurai Blue
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 months, 21 days ago

    A) Isak > Welbeck (Haaland captain, bench Rogers)
    B) -4 Isak > Raul (benched) AND De Bruyne > Salah (Salah captain, play Rogers)

    1. Kabayan
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      Don't like the hit but B.

    2. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

  4. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 months, 21 days ago

    Isak to Wood or Welbeck?

    Have Watkins and Wissa.

    2. Tonyawesome69

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 21 days ago

        I just think that Forest can beat Chelsea at home and he should be involved

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          6 months, 21 days ago

          I don't see more than 1 attacking return for Chris Wood against Chelsea

        2. Mozumbus
          • 4 Years
          6 months, 21 days ago

          This

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            6 months, 21 days ago

            That would be alright tbf

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 6 Years
              6 months, 21 days ago

              Isak has a higher ceiling if he starts

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      Welb

    4. Samurai Blue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      Welbs

    5. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      I'm putting Welbeck in for Wood.

    Hi, need help which is better A or B?
    A. Evanilson, Luis Diaz, Konsa
    B. Watkins, Rogers, AWB
    Thanks 🙂

    1. Kabayan
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      A

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      B

    3. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      A given all start

    4. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      A

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      Watkins bears Evanilson and AWB beats Konsa

      So you need Diaz to outscore the balance if that's the case...

      Good luck

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Would you remove DeBruyne and Mamoush, for Saka and Evanillson/Welbeck

    1. Oasthouse FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      Maybe just do one, and not both so you have city?

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      I've both KDB and Marmoush
      No FT.
      Even if I had an FT or two, I'd have thought twice before making these moves. KDB and Marmoush can easily punish the sceptics.

  7. Oasthouse FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 21 days ago

    Any suggestion here folks, only 1ft and 0.3 ITB so priced out of saka.

    Raya
    Gvardiol, konsa, Livra
    Salah, Eze, mbuemo, Bowen
    Watkins, Wissa, evanilson

    Bench; areola, KDB, Williams, saliba.

    Feels wrong to be benching KDB, but may not start and fancy Eze to score.

    Saliba to white and play instead of konsa??

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      Why KDB will not start?

      1. Oasthouse FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 21 days ago

        Just seems to be some uncertainty re his mins, last week was the big farewell etc but who knows. Could well start

        1. Mozumbus
          • 4 Years
          6 months, 21 days ago

          Makes sense. And then we have pep roulette.
          Still, ditching him is a big risk especially when city needs to win i believe.

  8. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    6 months, 21 days ago

    Sheffield United are back then. If this is the calibre of team coming up these days, Derbys record is living a charmed life.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      It's a bit harsh

      The Championship is a strong international league by players

      It's just that the Premier League is international elite with the ridiculous wages

      If Sunderland falter all promoted teams have benefited from the parachute payments which means cash back to the other clubs.

      Whether that helps to close the gap remains to be seen.

  9. Sun God Nika
    • 5 Years
    6 months, 21 days ago

    Who would you transfer out

    a) Ran to AWB/Arsenal def
    b) Cunha to Welbeck
    c) KDB to Arsenal Mid

    My bench would be even KDB or Roger’s

    Rivals both have arsenal def I have zero

    1. Oasthouse FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      A

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      A easy

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      B or C

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        6 months, 21 days ago

        Wait, are you chasing or maintaining ML lead?

        1. Sun God Nika
          • 5 Years
          6 months, 21 days ago

          the current top player is 8 pts ahead

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 6 Years
            6 months, 21 days ago

            Ignore Arsenal def then

  10. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    6 months, 21 days ago

    The stone age football is coming back to the PL next season it seems with Sheffield United

    1. Conners
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      Maybe they'll re-sign John Lundstram.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      Sheffield United aren't playing stone aged football now.

      But against the top half of the Premier League they can't play expansive football to win, so they have to compete by closing down and being compact and finding routes to break away goals.

      They don't want to lose 4 or 5 nil most weeks so it's a bit harsh to knock a different approach.

  11. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 21 days ago

    Bench two:

    A) Konsa (man)
    B) Burn (EVE)
    C) Gvardiol (FUL)
    D) Munoz (liv)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      AD assuming Gvardiol LB

  12. MrMartini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    6 months, 21 days ago

    Narrowed down my options this weekend to 2
    A) TAA out to White or Shaer
    B) Marmoush out to Evanilson.
    Any thoughts on which gets more points or are both moves worth it for -4?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 21 days ago

      TAA (unlikely to start) White/Schar is a bigger upgrade than Marmoush to Evanilson imo

      1. MrMartini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        6 months, 21 days ago

        Leaning that way too, as my team is i could play eze instead of marmoush anyways.

        Feel like white has a higher ceiling but schaer more likely to get a clean sheet. Another decision to make now

  13. Positive vibes
