Crystal Palace v Leeds predicted line-ups
Crystal Palace: Despite missing Palace’s midweek UEFA Conference League action with a shoulder problem, Daniel Munoz may well return here. Oliver Glasner said it is “more likely” Munoz is involved, although there is “still a question mark”. Brennan Johnson played right wing-back in Munoz’s absence on Thursday. Glasner picked the strongest team available for that match; should he look to rotate here then the likes of Chadi Riad, Will Hughes and Yeremy Pino are all options. Jean-Philippe Mateta made his return on Thursday and will likely get more minutes off the bench.
Leeds: Daniel Farke’s defensive personnel will depend on whether he reverts to a back three, with James Justin and Jaka Bijol options to slot in alongside Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk. Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed last weekend’s FA Cup win over Norwich City with a knee issue. Farke said he is “carefully optimistic” Calvert-Lewin will be available to lead the line, but Lukas Nmecha can fill in if required. Farke also described Noah Okafor as a “major doubt”.

Man Utd v Aston Villa predicted line-ups
Man Utd: Mason Mount is back training, but Michael Carrick said he will have to “see if he is involved” this weekend. The United manager confirmed Mount is the only player to potentially return, suggesting Lisandro Martinez will not be back. Carrick made no mention of Noussair Mazraoui, who limped off against Newcastle last time out, but Diogo Dalot could be restored in his place regardless. Amad Diallo is waiting in the wings if Carrick opts to go without Benjamin Sesko.

Aston Villa: Matty Cash could be involved here after missing the UEFA Europa League win in Lille. John McGinn came off the bench during that game for his first outing in almost two months. Lamare Bogarde will likely fill in at right-back if Cash does not recover in time, while McGinn looks set to compete with Leon Bailey for one spot, with Jadon Sancho ineligible to face his parent club.
Nottingham Forest v Fulham predicted line-ups
Nottingham Forest: Jair Cunha is a major doubt after lasting just nine minutes in Thursday’s UEFA Europa League defeat against Midtjylland. That leaves Vitor Pereira with a decision on whether to stick with a back three or, seemingly more likely, revert to the defensive four that he switched to at half-time in midweek. Nicolas Dominguez provides an alternative midfield option.
Fulham: Harry Wilson has missed Fulham’s last two games, but Marco Silva said his star man is “in contention” to make this game. Silva revealed Raul Jimenez did not train on Friday morning following the death of his father; it is not known what that means for his availability this weekend. Joachim Andersen and Issa Diop will likely contest one centre-back spot, while Tom Cairney and Samuel Chukwueze provide alternatives in midfield.

Liverpool v Spurs predicted line-ups
Liverpool: Liverpool were without Alisson for their Champions League midweek trip to Galatasaray, and Arne Slot said on Friday that he did not yet know if his No 1 would be fit to return this weekend. Federico Chiesa also missed that match due to illness, but is back in training. Florian Wirtz made his first start for almost a month in Turkey. He may be rotated out with an eye on next week’s return leg, with Slot confirming Rio Ngumoha is “definitely an option to start” one of the next few games. Curtis Jones and Andy Robertson could also be used if Slot wants to keep players fresh.

Spurs: Tottenham’s availability problems somehow only worsen. Micky van de Ven is suspended, while Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha cannot play due to concussion protocol after clashing heads in the Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid. Yves Bissouma is out with a muscle injury, and Conor Gallagher has a fever, but Igor Tudor said the England midfielder “probably will be in”. The Spurs boss also confirmed Guglielmo Vicario will return in goal. Tudor could opt for a four-man defence, but the availability crisis means personnel would change little either way, although there are more options higher up the pitch.

Brentford v Wolves predicted line-ups
Brentford: Brentford have minimal change to their availability from last week, with only Reiss Nelson potentially returning of their absentees. Rico Henry’s injury means either Keane Lewis-Potter or Kristoffer Ajer will fill in at left-back, with captain Nathan Collins seemingly back in favour in central defence.

Wolves: Extraordinarily, given their position in the table, Wolves are bidding for three successive Premier League wins. Rob Edwards said Jose Sa is “still sore” after missing last weekend’s FA Cup defeat against Liverpool with an ankle issue, but he is “really hopeful” the goalkeeper will be available. Mateus Mane has looked increasingly in need of a rest, but Wolves have 25 days until their next game, so a long one is incoming.
