RULED OUT: Ben White (knee), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee)
MIGHT PLAY: Gabriel (muscle), Riccardo Calafiori (knock)

ASTON VILLA
RULED OUT: Jacob Ramsey (hamstring)
MIGHT PLAY: Amadou Onana (knee)
“It’s the most difficult challenge we can have, playing four matches in those days. Today I don’t know exactly which players are available for tomorrow – some are doubts, yesterday they were in some pain and as well some were really tired.
“We are going to train now, this afternoon, but even training this afternoon, I think until tomorrow morning it’s not going to be clear for me which players will start the match.” – Unai Emery

CRYSTAL PALACE
RULED OUT: Adam Wharton (groin), Chadi Riad (knee), Matheus Franca (groin)
AVAILABLE: Daichi Kamada (back from suspension)
“They’re going in the right direction, training with us but for both [Chadi and Adam] the game is too early. Especially for Chadi, because he has been out for three-and-a-half months now. He will play with the under-21s on Tuesday, getting his first 45 minutes in three months. He’s doing really well.” – Oliver Glasner on Chadi Riad and Adam Wharton
EVERTON
RULED OUT: James Garner (back), Tim Iroegbunam (foot), Youssef Chermiti (foot)
MIGHT PLAY: Michael Keane (knee)
“Michael Keane will be touch and go coming back into it – he’s got a minor knee ligament injury which has kept him out – then Youssef [Chermiti] is getting stronger but not there yet. Tim [Iroegbunam] is a bit of a way behind and so is Jimmy Garner but they’re in process of getting back fit.” – Sean Dyche

“[Alisson is] not ready yet but he will be ready very soon.” – Arne Slot
“There are only three injuries left and they are in our last line, with Diogo [Jota] close to being back, Federico [Chiesa] close to being back and the same for Alisson. That means that only Ibou [Konate], Conor [Bradley] and Kostas [Tsimikas] are a bit further away from playing time.” – Arne Slot

“We don’t have many players, so we’ll see. But yeah, it’s important he’s back. But, you know, long time every three days, three days, three days. We’ll see. We’ll see how does he react to this amount of games.” – Pep Guardiola on Kevin De Bruyne

MIGHT PLAY: Kieran Trippier (illness)
“He’s doing well. So, the initial moments in training were very much passive and making sure he didn’t do too many duels, working on his technical work. But now he’s fully training, we’ve done a couple of 11 v 11s with him and he’s looked good in those 11 v 11s.
“He’s still a few weeks off playing competitively but he looks and feels good.” – Eddie Howe on Sven Botman
“Yeah, he’s improving. We’ll see today [if he returns to the squad].” – Eddie Howe on Kieran Trippier
NOTTINGHAM FOREST

WEST HAM UNITED
MIGHT PLAY: Jean-Clair Todibo (knock), Danny Ings (knock)
