Premier League weekend team news: Injuries and suspensions

SUNDAY'S GAMES

- TOTTENHAM

Mauricio Pochettino has no fresh injury concerns. Dele Alli will miss the match as he serves the second game of a three-match ban while Mousa Dembele faces a lengthy suspension himself, following an altercation on Monday with Chelsea striker Diego Costa. Spurs midfielder Nabil Bentaleb is also out. The midfielder remains sidelined with a knee injury.

Provisional squad: Lloris, Vorm, Walker, Trippier, Davies, Rose, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Vertonghen, Winks, Mason, Dier, Carroll, Eriksen, Onomah, Lamela, Son, Chadli, Njie, Kane.

- SOUTHAMPTON

Ronald Koeman has a fully-fit squad to choose from. Graziano Pelle was left out of the squad for their 4-2 win over Manchester City last weekend due to a poor showing in training and the Saints boss is yet to make a decision on whether he will be included this weekend. Koeman told reporters he has "reacted okay'' to being left out of the squad but will not make a final decision on his starting XI until after their final training session on Saturday.

Provisional squad: Forster, Stekelenburg, Gazzaniga, Martina, Van Dijk, Fonte, Yoshida, Soares, Bertrand, Targett, Clasie, Davis, Ward-Prowse, Wanyama, Romeu, Tadic, Mane, Pelle, Long, Austin, Juanmi.

- LIVERPOOL

Jurgen Klopp is likely to make significant changes as he rests many of the players who booked a place in the Europa League final on Thursday. It means probable starts for the likes of goalkeeper Danny Ward, centre-back Martin Skrtel, midfielders Joe Allen and Lucas Leiva and possibly striker Christian Benteke. Left-back Brad Smith is suspended after being sent off at Swansea last weekend.

Provisional squad: Ward, Randall, Skrtel, Lucas, Moreno, Allen, Stewart, Chirivella, Ibe, Ojo, Coutinho, Benteke, Mignolet, Clyne, Brannagan, Lallana, Milner, Teixeira, Sturridge, Firmino.

- WATFORD

Quique Sanchez Flores reported no fresh injury concerns. Valon Behrami missed the win at Aston Villa because of a rib injury and is not expected to be involved at Anfield. Midfielder Etienne Capoue continues to recover from a knee problem.

Provisional squad: Gomes, Britos, Paredes, Cathcart, Anya, Watson, Jurado, Suarez, Abdi, Ighalo, Deeney, Pantilimon, Guedioura, Nyom, Prodl, Ake, Berghuis, Amrabat

He joins playmaker David Silva (hamstring) and right-back Pablo Zabaleta (calf) on the sidelines while left-back Aleksandar Kolarov is also out with a knock. Midfielder Samir Nasri is back in contention after being ineligible in the Champions League.

Provisional squad: Hart, Caballero, Sagna, Mangala, Otamendi, Demichelis, Clichy, Toure, Fernando, Fernandinho, Delph, De Bruyne, Sterling, Nasri, Navas, Aguero, Bony, Iheanacho.

Defender Per Mertesacker joins Oxlade-Chamberlain on the treatment table after picking up a hamstring problem -- ruling him out of the final two games. Santi Cazorla could be involved for the first time since November while fellow midfielders Mikel Arteta and Tomas Rosicky are also fit.

Provisional squad: Ospina, Cech, Monreal, Gibbs, Gabriel, Chambers, Koscielny, Bellerin, Ramsey, Elneny, Wilshere, Cazorla, Ramsey, Rosicky, Arteta, Ozil, Reine-Adelaide, Iwobi, Sanchez, Campbell, Walcott, Welbeck, Giroud.
