Premier League line-ups: Every expected XI this weekend

The Premier League line-ups will be announced before kick-off – but here's how we expect teams to shape up this weekend.

Every week, we bring you the XIs that every club will likely to put out, drawing on injury information, how the teams recently lined up and who's available.

So use the navigation to see how our experts expect your team to set up this weekend…

When are the Premier League line-ups released?

Every Premier League club can name their line-up an hour and 15 minutes before kick-off.

Clubs can go full Marcelo Bielsa and choose to go earlier, of course - but very few actually do.

When is the Fantasy Premier League deadline for transfers?

This week, the GW8 deadline for FPL is at 11:00 BST on Saturday, October 18 – 90 minutes before kick-off of the weekend's first fixture.

Line-ups for the first game of the weekend, Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea, will drop 15 minutes later.

⇔

Arsenal

Arsenal line-up against Fulham

Martin Odegaard is a doubt for Arsenal, who will also be without Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz, and long-term absentee Gabriel Jesus.

Piero Hincapie is, however, closing in on a return from injury and has a decent chance of being included in the squad at Craven Cottage.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa line-up against Tottenham

Ollie Watkins went off injured after opening the scoring for England against Wales and didn't feature against Latvia as a result; he remains a doubt for Aston Villa for their trip to Tottenham.

Unai Emery may also have decisions to make on the fitness of Jadon Sancho, Youri Tielemans and Tyrone Mings.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth line-up against Crystal Palace

Bournemouth are in pretty decent shape as they prepare to take on Fulham.

Skipper Adam Smith is a doubt, while Enes Unal and Julio Soler both look to be ruled out - but otherwise Andoni Iraola should have a full squad to select from

Brentford

Brentford line-up against West Ham

Brentford will make the trip across London for Monday night's clash away to West Ham with only minimal injury issues.

Paris Maghoma and Antoni Milambo are both on the injured list, while Aaron Hickey and Gustavo Nunes are both hoped to be fit to be available despite Hickey missing out for Scotland with what Steve Clarke described as a 'minor' injury.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton & Hove Albion line-up against Newcastle United

Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma did not travel to join up with Japan over the international break but has a fair chance of being involved this weekend. So too do Diego Gomez, and Joel Veltman.

The Seagulls do however look set to be without Jack Hinshelwood, Brajan Gruda, Solly March and Adam Webster through injury.

Burnley

Burnley line-up against Leeds United

Burnley will host fellow newly-promoted Leeds United in what could be a vital six-pointer and will be hoping that forwards Lyle Foster and Jaidon Anthony are given the green light after injury doubts.

Zeki Amdouni, Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts all look set to be out of action, however.

Chelsea

Chelsea line-up against Nottingham Forest

Enzo Maresca's defensive headaches should be alleviated somewhat by Trevoh Chalobah's return from suspension, while Tosin Adarabioyo and Reece James have been confirmed to be available alongside midfielder Andrey Santos.

Cole Palmer is set for an extended lay-off, however, with Maresca confirming the playmaker is set to miss another six weeks, while Benoit Badiashile is out until December.

Other doubts include Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Pedro Neto; late decisions will be made on their availability.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace line-up against Bournemouth

Crystal Palace will look to pick themselves back up after their unbeaten run came to an end against Everton last time out.

Cheick Doucoure and Caleb Kporha are still out, while Chadi Riad is rated at 50/50 for a place in Oliver Glasner's squad.

Everton

Everton line-up against Manchester City

Everton will be without the ineligible Jack Grealish as they visit his parent club Manchester City.

Michael Keane went off injured against Crystal Palace and is a doubt. Fellow centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite is still out, as is Freiburg loanee Merlin Rohl.

Fulham

Fulham line-up against Arsenal

Fulham could welcome back Raul Jimenez up top in place of Evanlison, but Rodrigo Muniz remains sidelined.

Sasa Lukic is also a doubt after going off against Bournemouth in Fulham's final game before the international break, and Marco Silva will need to consider whether or not to include Antonee Robinson after he was an unused sub last time out before missing international duty with the United States.

Leeds United

Leeds United line-up against Burnley

Wilfried Gnonto and Harry Gray and still out injured, but Daniel Farke can include Lucas Perri again and will be hoping he can also call on Dan James,and/or Noah Okafor after recent injury scares.

It had been thought that James would be out for another month or so, but the Welshman has returned to training with Leeds United ahead of schedule and could feature from the bench - particularly if Okafor is ruled out.

Liverpool

Liverpool line-up against Manchester United

Liverpool remain without Alisson, Jayden Danns and long-term absentee Giovanni Leoni, who is likely to miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury.

Wataru Endo and Ibrahima Konate both remain injury doubts. The centre-back went off injured against Chelsea before the international break and had to return from the France squad early with the same muscle issue. Konate will be assessed after training on Friday.

Arne Slot has however confirmed that Ryan Gravenberch is 'completely fit' despite going off at half time for the Netherlands on Sunday.

Manchester City

Manchester City line-up against Everton

After struggling with injuries last month, Manchester City are getting close to having a full side to select from.

Rodri is hoped to be available despite pulling out of the Spain squad after going off in the first half of City's win over Brentford a couple of week ago. Omar Marmoush did not join up with Egypt thanks to his knee injury but is thought to be close to a return alongside Abdukodir Khusanov.

Rayan Ait-Nouri has been out since August and remains a doubt

Manchester United

Manchester United line-up against Liverpool

Lisandro Martinez won't get the opportunity to repeat his goalscoring heroics at Anfield last season thanks to his ACL injury, which is set to keep him out of action for another few weeks.

Noussair Mazraoui will be hoping to be available, though, with Ayden Heaven the only other known injury doubt for Manchester United.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United line-up against Brighton

Newcastle United already have Tino Livramento, Lewis Hall and Yoane Wissa ruled out, and Eddie Howe has been handed another couple of injury doubts over the international break.

Will Osula has 'a small ankle injury' and is a doubt., while Joelinton will be assessed for a groin injury.

Jacob Ramsey has been in training after an injury, with Howe saying he is 'pleased with where he is now', and Lewis Miley is also thought to be fit despite pulling out of England's U19s squad.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest line-up against Chelsea

Nottingham Forest are still desperate to get their first win under Ange Postecoglou, and he still has injury issues to contend with.

Chris Wood's minutes for New Zealand were limited thanks to a tight knee, and Ola Aina is out for a long term after hamstring surgery.

Murillo and Douglas Luiz are hoped to be available to face Chelsea after missing out with injuries before the international break - but the game may come too soon for Oleksandr Zinchenko to be involved.

Sunderland

Sunderland line-up against Wolves

Sunderland will assess Noah Sadiki and Omar Alderete before their clash with Wolves after both players picked up knocks while on international duty.

Reinildo will serve the third and final game of his suspension for violent conduct after he was red-carded against Aston Villa last month.

Dennis Cirkin, Romaine Mundle, Aji Alese, Leo Hjelde and Habib Diarra are all thought to be ruled out.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur line-up against Aston Villa

Tottenham Hotspur have one of the lengthier injury lists in the Premier League at the moment, with Dominic Solanke, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin all out through injury.

They could be joined on the physio's table by Yves Bissouma, who went off on a stretcher after picking up an ankle injury for Mali over the international break. Ben Davies also went off with a knock while in action for Wales and could be a doubt.

Randal Kolo Muani and Kota Takai could be available at Villa Park, however.

West Ham United

West Ham United line-up against Brentford

West Ham United will be without Niclas Fullkrug 'for a while' with a thigh injury that forced him to withdraw from the Germany squad. Nuno Espirito Santo has hinted that one of his Callums could fill in - either Wilson or youngster Marshall.

Academy product George Earthy is West Ham's only other known absentee with a hamstring injury. Tomas Soucek now available to return from suspension.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolverhampton Wanderers line-up against Sunderland

Bottom side Wolverhampton Wanderers have precious few injury issues as they continue to look for their first win of the season.

Toti Gomes is feeling better after missing the last game with flu, and Jorgen Strand Larsen was in action for Norway over the international break after some injury frustrations this season. Matt Doherty has meanwhile been spotted in training after having wrist surgery earlier this month.
