MIGHT PLAY: Christian Eriksen (match fitness), Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen (match fitness)

 

AVAILABLE: Ivan Toney (calf), Mathias Jensen (dead leg)

RULED OUT: Adam Webster (groin), Enock Mwepu (hamstring)

 

AVAILABLE: Lewis Dunk (back from suspension)

 

“Adam (Webster) and Enock (Mwepu) look like they may be struggling – a little setback for Adam and the weekend will probably come too soon for Enock. Apart from that, pretty much everybody is available.” – Graham Potter

 

BURNLEY

 

RULED OUT: Matej Vydra (hernia), Johann Berg Gudmundsson (appendicitis)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Maxwel Cornet (foot)

 

AVAILABLE: Ashley Westwood (Covid), Charlie Taylor (knock)

 

“Maxwel’s [Cornet] foot injury, touch and go, see how he is tomorrow, it’s not a really serious one but a bit sore still. Ash [Westwood] has cleared his protocols so is back in training today. Charlie [Taylor] will be back in and around the squad.” – Sean Dyche

AVAILABLE: Demarai Gray (hip), Abdoulaye Doucoure (groin)

 

“Ben Godfrey won’t be back, he’s still a couple of weeks away. Doucoure and Gray are both training with us now and in the squad. It’s whether they start is an issue for me. Doucoure has been out for five weeks now. With Demarai, we have to make sure that coming into a game of this type of physical output that’s needed to get the performance and potential result, it’s a big ask.” – Frank Lampard
