Last updated on March 15th, 2024

ASTON VILLA

 

RULED OUT: John McGinn (suspended), Boubacar Kamara (knee), Tyrone Mings (knee), Emiliano Buendia (knee)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Diego Carlos (hamstring), Jacob Ramsey (foot), Ollie Watkins (leg)

 

“Of course he was asking us to change him but it was because he has a cut. Hopefully for Sunday he is going to be available.” – Unai Emery on Ollie Watkins

 

BRENTFORD

 

RULED OUT: Ethan Pinnock (ankle), Ben Mee (ankle), Christian Norgaard (back), Rico Henry (knee), Aaron Hickey (hamstring), Kevin Schade (muscle), Josh Dasilva (knee)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Sergio Reguilon (hamstring), Bryan Mbeumo (ankle)

 

“He’s very close. I have a decision to make, to maybe involve him in the squad this weekend.

“He’s been on the grass for a week, he looks good, and he’s one of our best players. I need to find out if it’s just a touch too early, or to bring him for the game against Burnley.” – Thomas Frank on Bryan Mbeumo

 

BURNLEY

 

RULED OUT: Lyle Foster (muscle), Luca Koleosho (knee), Nathan Redmond (leg), Aaron Ramsey (knee), Ameen Al-Dakhil (unknown)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Jordan Beyer (muscle), Han-Noah Massengo (unknown)

 

No fresh injury concerns, maybe a few positive surprises. We’ll see. Most of the players that have been important for us this season are close to a return or dong well. Hopefully, the international break will see our squad bolstered again.” – Vincent Kompany

 

FULHAM

 

AVAILABLE: Raul Jimenez (hamstring)

 

“Good news. Everyone is available. All the players, they can be involved in the squad list.” – Marco Silva

 

LUTON TOWN

 

RULED OUT: Elijah Adebayo (hamstring), Mads Andersen (calf), Tom Lockyer (health), Marvelous Nakamba (knee), Gabriel Osho (knee), Jacob Brown (knee), Dan Potts (hamstring), Amari’i Bell (hamstring), Joseph Johnson (illness)

AVAILABLE: Tahith Chong (arm)

 

NOTTINGHAM FOREST

 

RULED OUT: Nuno Tavares (muscle), Gonzalo Montiel (hamstring)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Ola Aina (muscle), Giovanni Reyna (knock)

 

For sure, I will change. After the game, it’s easier to change! But the plan was clear, to try and control the middle of the park, having an extra midfielder there. It didn’t quite work out. I think large spells of the second half were much better, I think we were more dominant, more aggressive, with more pace.” – Nuno Espirito Santo, when asked about last week’s team selection and if he would change things

 

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

 

RULED OUT: Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Manor Solomon (knee), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), Fraser Forster (foot)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Richarlison (knee)

 

Richy trained today, so we’ll just see how he pulls up. If he pulls up OK, he’ll probably be available.” – Ange Postecoglou on Richarlison

 

WEST HAM UNITED

 

RULED OUT: Maxwel Cornet (hamstring)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Emerson Palmieri (groin)

 

He had an injury in the first half and I was going to take him off at half-time. He wanted to stay on at half-time but I just felt as if we got the goal, I didn’t see the point in having to risk him at 60 minutes. We’ve got a game on Sunday.

“I’ve just got to make sure his injury wasn’t going to get any worse. It’s good, I like it when they don’t like coming off. It shows you they care a wee bit!” – David Moyes on Lucas Paqueta
