Injury report: Chelsea will try to beat West Ham without even seven players, among which they are Mateo Kovacic and Christian Pulisic, and possibly Raheem Sterling, while the hosts will miss two regular defenders, Jan Thilo Kehrer and Kurt Zouma, with the possible absence of forward Gianluca Scamacca. Gabriel Jesus won’t be in the Arsenal squad because of the injury, just like Frank Onyeka in the Brentford FC team for their clash. The most critical missings for Crystal Palace are Joel Ward and Wilfried Zaha, while Joachim Andersen is questionable. Their rival Brighton won’t have injured Adam Lallana. Fulham will host Nottingham Forest without Neeskens Kebano and Tom Cairney, but guests have much more missing, as six players are out of the squad, among them the first-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson, Cheikhou Kouyate and Taiwo Awoniyi, while Ryan Yates is doubtful because of illness. Cristian Romero is suspended for Tottenham, while Hugo Lloris and Yves Bissouma are out injured. Bruno Guimaraes is suspended for Newcastle United, but their rival Bournemouth have much more staff problems, with five players out and Marcus Tavernier, Dominic Solanke and Lewis Cook all questionable.
