ASTON VILLA
RULED OUT: Tyrone Mings (suspension), Leon Bailey (muscle), Marvelous Nakamba (knee)
MIGHT PLAY: Ashley Young (knock)
“Bailey will still be missing, and Nakamba. Young has got an outside chance, he has a little fracture in his toe, but he is pushing to be available. Other than that, we should have the whole group available, dependent on COVID testing.” – Steven Gerrard

Josh Brownhill won’t because of the protocols. Ashley Barnes had a little minor setback so he’s still a bit of time away. Maxwel [Cornet] has made really good progress and has been on the grass today, so he comes back into the thinking. We’ll have to be careful and decide with him.” – Sean Dyche
CHELSEA
RULED OUT: Reece James (hamstring), Ben Chilwell (knee)
MIGHT PLAY: Timo Werner (Covid), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (ankle), Andreas Christensen (back), Thiago Silva (hamstring)

MIGHT PLAY: Conor Gallagher (illness)
AVAILABLE: Joachim Andersen (muscle), Wilfried Zaha (back from suspension)

EVERTON
RULED OUT: Richarlison (calf), Andros Townsend (foot), Yerry Mina (calf)

AVAILABLE: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (thigh), Lucas Digne (illness)

LEEDS UNITED
“This is the fourth week since Patrick’s [Bamford] injury. Patrick is healthy but he hasn’t played for four weeks now.

“It depends, it could be the next three to four weeks (for Vardy). He wasn’t sure whether it was that (in a challenge with Joël Matip) or he felt the pain then. He ran on and soldiered on which he wanted to do, but the scan has shown up as that (a hamstring injury) so it could be three to four weeks.” – Brendan Rodgers
LIVERPOOL
RULED OUT: Andrew Robertson (suspended), Thiago (hip), Takumi Minamino (muscle), Nathaniel Phillips (cheekbone), Harvey Elliott (ankle), Adrian (calf)
