Premier League 1/12/2021 – Watford v Chelsea
- Scans have confirmed Ben Foster won’t return until 2022 due to a groin strain so Daniel Bachmann now gets an extended run in the first team.
- A hamstring injury will keep Nicolas Nkoulou out until the new year and there are concerns Ismaila Sarr will be out long-term with knee ligament damage.
- Emmanuel Dennis has been a revelation for Watford this season but he is a big doubt to face Chelsea after coming off injured in defeat to Leicester at the weekend.
- Adam Masina was also forced off against Leicester but should be okay to start against Chelsea. Former Tottenham defender Danny Rose is on standby.
- Christian Kabasele was back on the bench at the weekend and may replace William Troost-Ekong at the back after his error on Sunday.
- Juraj Kucka also needs to be assessed by the home side after missing out completely last weekend.
- Thomas Tuchel will make changes to the side that started Sunday’s disappointing 1-1 draw with Manchester United, particularly as Chelsea face West Ham on Saturday lunch-time.
- N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Ben Chilwell are all unavailable for the Premier League leaders.
- Timo Werner, Reece James and Jorginho are all doubts despite managing to train on Tuesday.
- Thiago Silva has started all three games since the international break and it would be a surprise if he started here.
- Kai Havertz, Saul Niguez, Mason Mount, Romelu Lukaku, Andreas Christensen, Cesar Azpilicueta, Christian Pulisic and Ross Barkley will all push for starts here.

Premier League 1/12/2021 – Wolves v Burnley
- Ruben Neves is suspended for this one after reaching five bookings for the campaign at the weekend. Leander Dendoncker should deputise in midfield.
- Daniel Podence is still recovering from COVID-19 but could return at the weekend, leaving Trincao and Adama Traore battling for the final spot in Wolves’ front three.
- Given the quick turnaround between matches, there is a chance two could start against Burnley.
- Burnley’s game with Tottenham on Sunday was called off due to snow so their players should be fresh to face Wolves here.
- James Tarkowski and Ashley Westwood are therefore still suspended as the game against Tottenham could not go ahead.
- Sean Dyche will hope to benefit from the extra days rest to have Matej Vydra and Jay Rodriguez back from injury here.
- Dale Stephens was named on the bench against Tottenham before it was called off. He has been sidelined all season.

Premier League 1/12/2021 – Aston Villa v Manchester City
- Former Manchester City midfielder Douglas Luiz may have to settle for a place on the bench once again after Marvelous Nakamba’s fine showing at the weekend.
- Former Manchester United winger Ashley Young may keep his place here after assisting Aston Villa’s opener against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
- Emi Buendia will push for a recall to the starting XI on Wednesday but Danny Ings has been ruled out by Steven Gerrard.
- Kevin De Bruyne is over COVID-19 but didn’t train on Tuesday making it unlikely he will feature at all on Wednesday.
- Jack Grealish left boyhood club Aston Villa for Manchester City over the summer but may only make the bench at best here after only returning to training on Tuesday.
- Phil Foden has the best chance of the three to feature in midweek but Ferran Torres continues to miss out.
- Should Foden be cleared to start then Riyad Mahrez and Gabriel Jesus will be left battling for one starting spot in attack.
- John Stones will come into the side for the suspended Aymeric Laporte.

Premier League 1/12/2021 – Everton v Liverpool
- Everton recover Richarlison from suspension for Wednesday’s welcome of rivals Liverpool but Mason Holgate is banned for one more match.
- Abdoulaye Doucoure went straight back into the starting line-up at the weekend and will continue here.
- Demarai Gray was fit enough to come off the bench against Brentford at the weekend and should return to the starting XI here.
- Rafa Benitez would probably like to park the bus against Liverpool but with Holgate suspended and Yerry Mina still injured, he doesn’t really have the players to do it.
- Few changes are expected from Liverpool when they face Merseyside rivals Everton on Wednesday.
- This is the first game back at Goodison Park since Virgil van Dijk and Thiago suffered serious injuries.
- Joel Matip will likely come in for Ibrahima Konate from Saturday’s 4-0 win over Southampton.
- The fact Thiago has only played around an hour in each of Liverpool’s last two matches suggests a rest is coming either here or at the weekend.
- Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is on standby if Thiago drops out of the team here.
