Team news

Moises Caicedo, Malo Gusto and Maxence Lacroix all picked up knocks in Chelsea's midweek Carabao Cup exit at Liverpool. Lacroix is definitely out this weekend, joining Reece James, Emiliano Martinez and Jamie Gittens on the treatment table.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is set to be recalled after holding clear-the-air talks with Carrick. Kobbie Mainoo is also available after a recent layoff.

Need to Know

Only two teams have scored more Premier League goals than Chelsea, but only two have let more in at the other end, with the Blues conceding more than all three sides currently in the relegation zone.

United have picked up just three draws and suffered five defeats across their last eight games and they have yet to win in any competition on the road this season.

Score Prediction: Chelsea 2-2 Manchester United (19/2 with LiveScore Bet)

Team News

Eli Junior Kroupi has come off the bench in Bournemouth's last two games but is not yet ready to start after an injury layoff. Alex Scott remains out but could return next weekend.

Joe Rodon remains sidelined for Leeds while Anton Stach is a doubt. Dominic Calvert-Lewin should lead the line amid speculation he is set to sign a new contract.

Need to Know

After a slow start to the season, Bournemouth have won five on the spin, keeping clean sheets in all of those games and scoring at least twice on each occasion.

Leeds remain hard to beat and only Arsenal have conceded fewer goals than their tally of six, but wins have been hard to come by for Daniel Farke's side.

  • Manchester City's last eight games have featured a minimum of three goals

  • Brighton have scored a league-high 23 goals

Recommended Bet

Team News

Antoine Semenyo remains Manchester City's only confirmed absentee, but Matheus Nunes has missed the last two games and it is unclear whether he will return.

  • Crystal Palace have lost their last two league games by an aggregate score of 7-0

  • The Eagles have conceded a league-high 19 goals

Recommended Bet

Team News

James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall and Tosin Adarabioyo all face late fitness tests for Tottenham, who will definitely be without the suspended Rodrigo Bentancur.

Ismaila Sarr has been ruled out until after the November international break for Palace, but Quinten Timber, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Jean-Philippe Mateta should all play some part.

Need to Know

After taking three points from their opening six games, Tottenham have recorded back-to-back wins and may well have turned a corner under Roberto De Zerbi.

A midweek Carabao Cup win over Fulham has eased some of the pressure on Palace boss Pierre Sage, whose side have conceded 19 times in the league, three more than any other team.

  • Back-to-back league wins has eased the pressure on Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa

  • Villa have won six of the last seven meetings between the sides

Recommended Bet

Team News

Villa boss Unai Emery rotated heavily for the midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Bournemouth and with no fresh injury concerns, is likely to revert back to the side that beat Manchester City last weekend.

Ryan Sessegnon is Fulham's only confirmed absentee as he serves the final match of his three-game ban for being sent off against Hull.

Need to Know

Aston Villa have won their last three home matches — two in the Champions League and one against Manchester City — by a combined score of 11-2.

Liverpool vs Arsenal - Sunday, November 1 (4.30pm)

Key Stats

  • Liverpool have only lost once in 13 matches under Andoni Iraola

  • Arsenal were stunned by Fleetwood in the Carabao Cup during the week

  • The Gunners have not won at Anfield since September 2012

Recommended Bet

Team News

Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz are both in contention to return for Liverpool, who remain without injured pair Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley.

Noni Madueke is a doubt for Arsenal, while Bukayo Saka remains sidelined, but Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori and Christos Tzolis have all trained and should be available.

Need to Know

Since losing to Manchester City in the middle of October, Liverpool are unbeaten, recording four straight wins before knocking Chelsea out of the Carabao Cup on penalties.

Arsenal were also taken to penalties in the cup, suffering one of the greatest shocks in that competition's history by going down to Fleetwood, and the big question is will Mikel Arteta's side be able to bounce back?

William Osula is out for Newcastle after suffering an ankle injury on Thursday, while Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Lewis Miley both sat that game out and will need to be assessed.
