MIGHT PLAY: Kortney Hause (abdominal), Marvelous Nakamba (match fitness)

 

AVAILABLE: Lucas Digne (stomach), Danny Ings (personal), Tyrone Mings (knock), Emiliano Buendia (knock)

 

“We’re likely to make some changes. Marvelous Nakamba was one we’ve been waiting for and he’s had 60 minutes in the Under-23s and a strong week, so he’ll come into the squad. Tyrone [Mings] trained yesterday and he’s been OK, so he’s available. Emi [Buendia] trained today and assuming there’s no reaction, he’ll be available. That makes us virtually full strength.” – Steven Gerrard

BURNLEY

 

RULED OUT: Ben Mee (knee), Erik Pieters (knee), Johann Berg Gudmundsson (calf)

CHELSEA

 

RULED OUT: Callum Hudson-Odoi (back), Ben Chilwell (knee)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Romelu Lukaku (knock), Hakim Ziyech (knock)

“We’ve got eight games to fit in this month. The same team won’t play every single game, you can’t get the same intensity if you do. We’ll make some changes, and it will be the same for the Thursday game. Jamie [Vardy] won’t be back. He’s got a final injection on Tuesday and we’ll see what the reaction is to that. We’re hoping we get positive news on that. Soyuncu will come back into the squad, apart from that it’s the same.” – Brendan Rodgers

 

LIVERPOOL

NEWCASTLE UNITED

 

RULED OUT: Callum Wilson (calf), Kieran Trippier (foot)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Joe Willock (knee)

 

AVAILABLE: Miguel Almiron (illness)

 

“You’ve got Covid as a problem and we have been affected by that in recent weeks. But there seems to be an illness that’s going around, maybe not Covid, that we’ve suffered with. We’ll wait and see whether anyone misses the game.” – Eddie Howe

MIGHT PLAY: Ryan Sessegnon (thigh), Sergio Reguilon (knee)

 

“No new injuries. Good news because Ryan Sessegnon and Sergio Reguilon had a training session today with us. About Olly Skipp, we have to wait. He’s still not ready and we need to have patience with him to try to solve his problem. It was the first time for Ryan Sessegnon for a long time and for sure, with him we have to pay more attention than Sergio, but at the same time it was good to have him with us in the training session.” – Antonio Conte

WEST HAM UNITED

 

RULED OUT: Angelo Ogbonna (knee)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Manuel Lanzini (knock)

 

AVAILABLE: Vladimir Coufal (hernia)

 

“We’ve needed him [Bowen]. We missed his goals when he wasn’t here and since he’s come back he’s got us a couple of important goals. He’s played well for someone who’s just come back, we need that to continue and for him to keep scoring those goals. We’re still hoping Lanzini can improve and be better. He’s carrying a knock from the car crash. He’s been training, but has been a bit ginger.” – David Moyes

 

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

 

RULED OUT: Raul Jimenez (suspended), Ruben Neves (knee), Ki-Jana Hoever (hamstring)
