SATURDAY'S GAMES
- BOURNEMOUTH
Eddie Howe says he has a number of players with "serious injuries." He refused to disclose the names of those who have come back from international duty injured but the list of those who played for their country includes Joshua King, who was suffering from a hamstring injury before he joined up with Norway. Harry Arter (groin strain) and Marc Pugh (hamstring) have been struggling with injuries but are expected to be included in the squad.
Provisional squad: Boruc, S Cook, Smith, L Cook, Daniels, Francis, Surman, Gosling, Gradel, Federici, O'Kane, MacDonald, Grabban, Ibe, Wilson, Ake, Arter, Afobe, Wilshere, King, Fraser.
- HULL
Hull striker Dieumerci Mbokani is out with a hamstring injury and could be sidelined for two weeks, so Abel Hernandez is expected to return to the starting line-up. Defender Ahmed Elmohamady is back in contention after his one-game ban, while captain Michael Dawson, yet to appear this season due to knee ligament damage, continues to work his way back to full fitness and is scheduled to appear for the under-21s on Friday night.
Provisional squad: Marshall, Elmohamady, Livermore, Davies, Robertson, Clucas, Huddlestone, Mason, Henriksen, Snodgrass, Maloney, Hernandez, Diomande, Jakupovic, Maguire, Weir, Keane.
- ARSENAL
Arsenal will still be without Olivier Giroud (toe) and Aaron Ramsey (hamstring). Francis Coquelin is fit, as is Mesut Ozil, but the game comes too early for Carl Jenkinson (knee) to be involved, with Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck (both knee) further away from a return.
Provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Debuchy, Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Koscielny, Mustafi, Gibbs, Monreal, Elneny, Xhaka, Coquelin, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Sanchez, Walcott, Iwobi, Lucas, Akpom.
- SWANSEA
Swansea are set to start the Bob Bradley era at Arsenal without Fernando Llorente and Jefferson Montero. Llorente missed Francesco Guidolin's final game against Liverpool two weeks ago with rib and knee injuries, while Ecuador winger Montero has been troubled by a calf problem. Neither player has taken a full part in training this week, but new boss Bradley has Federico Fernandez available after a groin injury.
Provisional squad: Fabianski, Rangel, Van der Hoorn, Amat, Taylor, Britton, Cork, Fer, Routledge, Sigurdsson, Borja, Nordfeldt, Naughton, Kingsley, Mawson, Fernandez, Ki, Barrow, Fulton, McBurnie.
- MAN CITY
Forwards Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne could come into contention. Sterling (calf) and De Bruyne (hamstring) have both trained this week and are close to making a return while captain Vincent Kompany (groin) could also feature in the near future. Midfielder Fabian Delph could also be back in consideration after a knock but right-back Bacary Sagna is out until next month with a hamstring injury sustained on international duty.
Provisional squad: Bravo, Caballero, Zabaleta, Stones, Otamendi, Adarabioyo, Kolarov, Clichy, Gundogan, Fernando, Fernandinho, Delph, De Bruyne, Sterling, Navas, Silva, Sane, Aguero, Nolito, Iheanacho.
- EVERTON
Romelu Lukaku reported an issue with his thigh after Belgium's World Cup qualifier last week but has now recovered while Phil Jagielka, who pulled out of England's squad with a similar problem, and Leighton Baines, who missed the last two matches with a hamstring strain, are also ready for action. Midfielder Darron Gibson (groin) is fit again but winger Aaron Lennon is a doubt with a minor knock, while a late decision will be taken on James McCarthy after he played almost two full matches for the Republic of Ireland having not featured since late August because of groin surgery.
Provisional squad: Stekelenburg, Coleman, Jagielka, Williams, Baines, Barry, Gueye, Cleverley, Barkley, Lukaku, Bolasie, Robles, Funes Mori, Holgate, Oviedo, Gibson, Deulofeu, Mirallas, Valencia.
- STOKE
Joe Allen will be assessed having missed Wales' 1-1 draw with Georgia last weekend due to a hamstring problem. Full-back Glen Johnson will definitely not feature having been ruled out for at least three to four weeks because of a thigh injury.
Provisional squad: Given, Grant, Shawcross, Martins Indi, Cameron, Bardsley, Pieters, Muniesa, Imbula, Allen, Whelan, Adam, Arnautovic, Sobhi, Shaqiri, Diouf, Bony, Bojan, Crouch, Walters.
- SUNDERLAND
Defenders Lamine Kone and Jason Denayer are doubts with a hamstring problem and an adductor muscle injury respectively suffered on international duty, while midfielder Lee Cattermole is out having had an epidural and an injection in his hip to address pain in his legs. Cattermole will join a lengthy casualty list which currently includes keeper Vito Mannone (fractured elbow), midfielders Jan Kirchhoff (hamstring), Adnan Januzaj (ankle ligaments), Steven Pienaar (hamstring) and Sebastian Larsson (knee) and striker Fabio Borini (groin).
Provisional squad: Pickford, Mika, Love, Manquillo, Djilobodji, O'Shea, McNair, Van Aanholt, J. Robson, T. Robson, Rodwell, Gooch, Khazri, E. Robson, Honeyman, Defoe, Asoro, Watmore, Anichebe, Maja.
- WEST BROM
Salomon Rondon only returned from international duty in South America on Thursday and Baggies boss Tony Pulis will assess him for fatigue, while midfielder Darren Fletcher suffered a dead leg when he was away with Scotland and he too will be monitored. If Rondon is not fit, Pulis must decide whether to give Hal Robson-Kanu his first start or play Saido Berahino against the club who made several attempts to buy him in successive transfer windows.
Provisional squad: Foster, Myhill, Dawson, Evans, Olsson, McAuley, Wilson, Galloway, Yacob, Gardner, Fletcher, Field, McManaman, McClean, Morrison, Phillips, Chadli, Rondon, Lambert, Berahino, Leko, Robson-Kanu.
- TOTTENHAM
Mousa Dembele is struggling with a foot injury having just recovered from a hamstring strain so the Belgian is now a doubt. Harry Kane remains sidelined with an ankle ligament injury while the likes of Son Heung-Min and Erik Lamela will be assessed following long excursions on international duty.
Provisional squad: Lloris, Vorm, Lopez, Walker, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Carter-Vickers, Wimmer, Rose, Davies, Dembele, Dier, Winks, Wanyama, Carroll, Onomah, Sissoko, Nkoudou, Alli, Lamela, Eriksen, Son, Janssen.
- CRYSTAL PALACE
Scott Dann remains unavailable as he is still recovering from a hamstring strain, so James Tomkins is expected to start against his former club alongside Damien Delaney. Alan Pardew hopes Dann will be fit for next Saturday's trip to Leicester, but beyond him his only absentees are Pape Souare, who fractured his thigh and jaw in a car accident, and Jonathan Benteke, who has an injured knee.
Provisional squad: Mandanda, Hennessey, Speroni, Ward, Tomkins, Delaney, Kelly, Fryers, Flamini, Mutch, Lee, McArthur, Ledley, Cabaye, Puncheon, Zaha, Townsend, Sako, C Benteke, Wickham, Campbell.
- WEST HAM
Aaron Cresswell is in the squad for the first time this season after recovering from a knee injury sustained in preseason. He is joined by midfielder Havard Nordtveit and striker Jonathan Calleri, who have shaken off minor niggles. Summer signing Gokhan Tore (thigh) and right-back Sam Byram (hamstring) have replaced them in the treatment room while Andy Carroll, Andre Ayew, Arthur Masuaku and Diafra Sakho are still unavailable.
Provisional squad: Adrian, Randolph, Arbeloa, Reid, Collins, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Oxford, Kouyate, Obiang, Fernandes, Nordtveit, Noble, Payet, Lanzini, Antonio, Feghouli, Zaza, Fletcher, Calleri.
SUNDAY'S MATCHES
- MIDDLESBROUGH
Aitor Karanka has seen all his international players return unscathed, but he will be paying particular attention to Uruguay duo Gaston Ramirez and Cristhian Stuani following their lengthy journeys. Only skipper Grant Leadbitter remains on the sidelines as he works his way back to full fitness following hernia surgery.
Provisional squad: Valdes, Guzan, Chambers, Friend, Barragan, Nsue, Da Silva, Ayala, Gibson, Espinosa, De Roon, Clayton, Ramirez, Forshaw, Downing, Stuani, Fischer, De Sart, Traore, Negredo, Nugent, Rhodes.
- WATFORD
Defender Miguel Britos is expected to be available following a groin injury. Younes Kaboul could continue in central defence as Craig Cathcart remains out with a groin injury, while midfielder Valon Behrami is a minor doubt with an undisclosed knock. Forward Isaac Success, who scored his first Watford goal prior to the international break, could be handed his first start. Daryl Janmaat (shoulder) is still out.
Provisional squad: Gomes, Gilmartin, Pantilimon, Mariappa, Kaboul, Britos, Prodl, Holebas, Zuniga, Kabasele, Amrabat, Behrami, Capoue, Guedioura, Watson, Doucoure, Pereyra, Deeney, Success, Ighalo.
- SOUTHAMPTON
Southampton will be without both of their first-choice full-backs with Ryan Bertrand and Cedric unavailable as they recover from hamstring and ankle injuries respectively -- meaning Matt Targett and Cuco Martina are expected to come in. Shane Long is close to a return, also from a hamstring problem, and Jay Rodriguez could feature after overcoming a groin strain.
Provisional squad: Forster, McCarthy, Taylor, Martina, Fonte, Van Dijk, Yoshida, Stephens, Targett, Reed, Romeu, Hojbjerg, Clasie, Ward-Prowse, Davis, Hesketh, Tadic, Redmond, Rodriguez, Long, Austin, Isgrove.
- BURNLEY
Burnley are crossing their fingers that goalkeeper Tom Heaton is fit after he withdrew from the England squad last week due to a calf problem -- veteran Paul Robinson is standing by. Striker Andre Gray serves the third game of a four-match ban for historic social media posts but there are no other concerns.
Provisional squad: Heaton, Robinson, Pope, Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward, Tarkowski, A O'Neill, K Long, Flanagan, Marney, Kightly, Defour, Hendrick, Boyd, Gudmundsson, Arfield, Vokes, Bamford.
MONDAY'S MATCH
- LIVERPOOL
Adam Lallana remains a doubt having sustained a groin strain in the win at Swansea just before the international break. Georginio Wijnaldum returned from international duty with a hip problem although neither he nor Lallana have yet been ruled out, while defenders Nathaniel Clyne and Dejan Lovren, who both withdrew from their respective international squads with injuries, are fit.
Provisional squad: Karius, Clyne, Lovren, Matip, Milner, Henderson, Can, Wijnaldum, Mane, Firmino, Coutinho, Mignolet, Klavan, Moreno, Lucas, Grujic, Origi, Sturridge, Ings, Ejaria.
- MANCHESTER UNITED
Jose Mourinho will have both Luke Shaw and Henrikh Mkhitaryan available. Shaw has missed United's previous four fixtures with a groin strain while a thigh problem has kept Mkhitaryan sidelined since the Manchester derby on Sept. 10. Defender Phil Jones (knee) is the only definite absentee while captain Wayne Rooney may have to make do with a fourth successive game among United's subs.
Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Valencia, Darmian, Fosu-Mensah, Bailly, Blind, Rojo, Smalling, Shaw, Carrick, Fellaini, Herrera, Mata, Depay, Pogba, Schneiderlin, Young, Mkhitaryan, Lingard, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Martial, Rashford.
