James Maddison is doing very well so we’re hoping he can be involved in the squad at the weekend. We need to manage that game-time consciously because it’s been a long time since he actually played and he’s not trained so much.

“He’s worked so hard behind the scenes. Just seeing him on the training pitch, he’s such a gift for us to have as a player. “ – Brendan Rodgers

MIGHT PLAY: Anthony Martial (leg), Diogo Dalot (muscle), Jadon Sancho (match fitness)

 

“He’s making the next step. Yesterday for the first time he was in team training. Team training is the final training before a game, so we will extend that in the coming days, [the] coming week, and then go step-by-step.” – Erik ten Hag on Jadon Sancho

 

NEWCASTLE UNITED

 

RULED OUT: Bruno Guimaraes (ankle), Matt Targett (heel), Jonjo Shelvey (calf), Emil Krafth (knee)

 

He was devastated to come off the pitch. He felt at the time he had done serious damage to his ankle. The scan did come back with positive news, so hopefully not a long-term injury.

“No I don’t [have a timescale] as we speak. We just hope it’s not long-term. He’s made good progress this week, so we’ll see.” – Eddie Howe on Bruno Guimaraes

AVAILABLE: Ryan Yates (knock), Chris Wood (registration)

 

“He’s going to be out for four to five weeks, which is obviously a bit of a blow for all of us. It is certainly a discussion point [whether to bring in a new goalkeeper].

“After the weekend, we have two League Cup games that Dean wouldn’t have played in anyway, because of the loan ruling, so we were always planning without him for those games. – Steve Cooper on Dean Henderson

 

SOUTHAMPTON

 

RULED OUT: Tino Livramento (knee), Juan Larios (muscle), Stuart Armstrong (groin), Armel Bella-Kotchap (knee)

MIGHT PLAY: Alphonse Areola (hip)

“Danny [Ings] is a good as it gets. The paperwork was done in time, and we need to wait for the confirmation on registration. He adds to what we need. Gianluca [Scamacca] has a bit of a knee injury which will keep him out for a short time.” – David Moyes

 

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

 

RULED OUT: Pedro Neto (ankle), Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Chiquinho (knee), Boubacar Traore (hamstring)
