ARSENAL VS. SWANSEA
ARSENAL: The Gunners could welcome back Shkodran Mustafi, who has been missing with a hamstring problem but has returned to full training.

CRYSTAL PALACE: James McArthur will face a late fitness test after undergoing intensive treatment all week on a knock. Lee Chung-Yong has been sent for a scan after receiving a nasty kick in the 4-1 Carabao Cup defeat at Bristol City on Tuesday, so remains doubtful for the weekend.

LIVERPOOL V HUDDERSFIELD
LIVERPOOL: The Reds could be without playmaker Philippe Coutinho, who missed training this week with an adductor problem and is touch and go. Jurgen Klopp must decide whether to stick with Dejan Lovren in defence after his horror show against Tottenham. Sadio Mane, Adam Lallana and Nathaniel Clyne remain sidelined.
Provisional squad: Mignolet, Gomez, Lovren, Matip, Moreno, Henderson, Can, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Coutinho, Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Klavan, Robertson, Milner, Grujic, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sturridge, Solanke.

WEST BROM VS. MAN CITY
WEST BROM: The Baggies were dealt a blow this week with Craig Dawson ruled out for around two months with thigh and knee injuries suffered in the defeat to Southampton. Allan Nyom is likely to be recalled in Dawson's absence against the Premier League leaders.

MAN CITY: Pep Guardiola will likely change most of Manchester City's starting XI from the Carabao Cup win over Wolves in midweek, with only Sergio Aguero and Bernardo Silva retaining their places. Goalkeeper Ederson, centre-back Nicolas Otamendi and David Silva should be among those coming in. Guardiola expects Vincent Kompany (calf) to be back in training within the next week or so, while left-back Benjamin Mendy (knee) is a long-term absentee.
Provisional squad: Ederson, Bravo, Walker, Danilo, Stones, Otamendi, Mangala, Danilo, Delph, Toure, Gundogan, Fernandinho, D Silva, B Silva, Sane, Sterling, De Bruyne, Aguero, Jesus.
