Premier League & Others 3/4/2021 – Chelsea v West Brom

• N’Golo Kante is the only player ruled out for Chelsea meaning Thiago Silva, Tammy Abraham, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jorginho are all available for selection.
• Silva was a first-team regular prior to injury but Andreas Christensen has really stepped up in his absence and now he faces a fight to reclaim his place.
• As Chelsea face FC Porto in the Champions League in midweek, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Thomas Tuchel shuffle his pack here.
• Kai Havertz picked up some form away for Germany during the break but things went from bad to worse for Timo Werner.

• Kieran Gibbs is West Brom’s only concern, though he has agreed to join Inter Miami in the summer so is unlikely to feature much more this season.
• Conor Gallagher will need replacing in midfield due to the terms in his loan agreement with parent club Chelsea. Robert Snodgrass should come in as a result.
• Aside from that, West Brom now have a pretty settled XI under Sam Allardyce. Former Blue Branislav Ivanovic is unlikely to feature at Stamford Bridge.

• Liam Cooper has been out with illness for well over two weeks now but Marcelo Bielsa has confirmed he will return to the matchday squad here.
• Leeds don’t yet know whether Mateusz Klich will be available due to uncertainties regarding COVID-19 protocls.

• Billy Sharp was ruled out for a few weeks before the break and may just miss out here.
• Enda Stevens withdrew from the Ireland squad with a knock in midweek but may be free to play here.

Premier League & Others 3/4/2021 – Leicester v Man City

• Former Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho has scored seven goals in his last four appearances for Leicester.
• Dennis Praet got some much-needed game time for Belgium during the international break in a boost for Brendan Rodgers’ side.
• James Maddison has been declared fit to face City on Saturday in a massive boost for the Foxes. Dennis Praet and Ayoze Perez are on standby if Maddison is only named on the bench.
• Ricardo Pereira has been passed fit but Cengiz Under remains unavailable.

• Manchester City have a full squad to pick from for Saturday’s massive game with Leicester.
• Pep Guardiola may consider Aymeric Laporte here given he will be the freshest of City’s centre-back options.
• Kyle Walker and Oleksandar Zinchenko are in competition to play at full-back, with Joao Cancelo fine to play either side.
• It wouldn’t be a surprise if Guardiola went without a recognised striker despite having both Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero available.
• Riyad Mahrez was in sensational form before the international break and will hope to be selected to face his former club.
• Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva can count themselves unlucky if they are only named on the bench at the King Power Stadium.

Premier League & Others 3/4/2021 – Arsenal v Liverpool

• Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will hope to have Bukayo Saka available after the winger pulled out of the England squad owing to fitness concerns.
• Emile Smith Rowe will also need to be checked after missing out against Croatia’s U21s on Wednesday with an unspecified problem.
• David Luiz has been ruled out with a knee injury and a late decision will be made on Granit Xhaka, who is struggling with illness.
• Martin Odegaard recovered from an ankle injury for Norway on international duty and is fine to face Liverpool.
• Calum Chambers has been a surprise starter of late for Arsenal so don’t rule out his involvement here.

• Roberto Firmino returned to training in midweek and should be available to face Arsenal on Saturday.
• With Diogo Jota in sparkling form for club and country, however, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Firmino was only on the bench at the Emirates.
• There is no reason for Ozan Kabak and Nat Phillip’s partnership not to continue here with Fabinho now free to play in his usual midfield position.
