Leeds have been dealt a major blow as defender Joe Rodon is set for up to 10 weeks out with a serious hamstring injury.

The Whites are next away at Brighton, who could see Mats Wieffer join the likes of Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma and Jack Hinshelwood on the treatment table.

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is close to returning to training, but remains an absentee for the Reds' trip to newly promoted Ipswich on Friday night.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace remain without striker Jean-Philippe Mateta against Fulham, while Ismaila Sarr is a question mark after failing to secure a transfer move away.

See who's missing for the next round of Premier League fixtures:

Ipswich vs Liverpool (Friday, 21:00 CET)

Win probability
Win probabilityFlashscore

WON'T PLAY

Ipswich: Azor Matusiwa (injury), Jack Taylor (injury), Jaden Philogene (injury)

Liverpool: Conor Bradley (knee injury), Federico Chiesa (back injury), Hugo Ekitike (Achilles tendon injury), Joe Gomez (injury), Giovanni Leoni (knee injury)

DOUBTFUL

Florentino (inactive)

Chuba Akpom scored Ipswich's 91st-minute consolation goal against United, confirming his reputation for late goals since eight of his last 11 strikes came after the 80th minute. Liverpool's summer signing Victor Munoz opened his account for the Reds against Forest and also highlighted his ability to have a late influence, as five of his last six goals for club or country arrived after half-time.

Ipswich's Taylor and Philogene remain out with injuries, while Liverpool only seem to have their pre-season absentees out of contention.

Newcastle vs Bournemouth (Saturday, 13:30 CET)

Win probability
Win probabilityFlashscore

WON'T PLAY

Newcastle: Dan Burn (ankle injury), Matias Fernandez-Pardo (transfer negotiations), Joelinton (injury), William Osula (injury)

Bournemouth: Amine Adli (injury), Julian Araujo (thigh injury),  Eli Junior Kroupi (foot injury), Veljko Milosavljevic (injury)

DOUBTFUL

Valentino Livramento (hamstring injury)

Newcastle's Yoane Wissa has scored a joint-career high four Premier League goals against Bournemouth, while his goal against Spurs last weekend is the only one of his four for the Magpies to arrive outside of the opening 10 minutes. Justin Kluivert scored a hat-trick on this ground two seasons ago, contributing to 11 of his last 13 Premier League goals coming on the road.

Livramento is closing in on a return for Newcastle, who remain without Burn. Kroupi continues to headline Bournemouth's injury list.

Brentford vs Sunderland (Saturday, 16:00 CET)

Win probability
Win probabilityFlashscore

WON'T PLAY

Brentford: Antoni Milambo (knee injury), Sepp van den Berg (injury)

Sunderland: None confirmed

DOUBTFUL

Joshua Dasilva (injury), Mathias Jensen (muscle injury), Habib Diarra (injury)

Only one Premier League player entered the round having attempted more shots without scoring than Brentford's Igor Thiago (7), though that could end here as he seeks to build on his perfect scoring record against Sunderland after two meetings (G3). Following his winner last week, Sunderland's Wilson Isidor has scored more Premier League goals as a substitute (5) than any other player since his club's top-flight return last season.

Brentford appear to have no fresh issues, but Sunderland's Diarra lasted just 18 minutes as a second-half substitute before being replaced last week.

Brighton vs Leeds (Saturday, 16:00 CET)

Win probability
Win probabilityFlashscore

WON'T PLAY

Brighton: Evan Ferguson (ankle injury), Jack Hinshelwood (injury), Yankuba Minteh (injury), Kaoru Mitoma (hamstring injury), Stefanos Tzimas (knee injury)

Leeds: Ilia Gruev (knee injury), Mateo Joseph (knee injury), Joe Rodon (muscle injury

DOUBTFUL

Georginio Rutter (injury), Mats Wieffer (knee injury)

Brighton's Pascal Gross netted his first goal of the season last weekend, and has scored two goals across three previous games on this ground against Leeds (W2, D1). Leeds defender Jayden Bogle won more duels (9) than anyone against Brentford but has conceded 3+ goals in each of his last three H2Hs, losing all three by a 13-2 combined scoreline.

Brighton remain without Hinshelwood and Minteh, with Mitoma's return date still unclear. Leeds have lost Rodon to a hamstring injury.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace (Saturday, 16:00 CET)

Win probability
Win probabilityFlashscore

WON'T PLAY

Fulham: Tom Cairney (knee injury)

Crystal Palace: Jean-Philippe Mateta (hamstring injury), Chadi Riad (knee injury)

DOUBTFUL

Luc de Fougerolles (injury), Hugo Larsson (muscle injury), Honest Ahanor (muscle injury), Ben Chilwell (hamstring injury), Ismaila Sarr (groin injury)

Josh King has been a regular feature under Arbeloa, and given his three senior club goals made the score 1-1, he could be on hand to bail Fulham out if they fall behind. Eddie Nketiah has scored his last three goals on the road and has also netted on Palace's last two visits to Craven Cottage, part of a career-high four-goal haul against Fulham.

Cairney has missed Fulham's opening two games, while Palace duo Mateta and Riad are sidelined with injuries.

Man City vs Coventry (Saturday, 16:00 CET)

Win probability
Win probabilityFlashscore

WON'T PLAY

Man City: Allan Elias (transfer negotiations)

Coventry: Kaine Kesler-Hayden (muscle injury), Stephen Mfuni (loan agreement), Luke Woolfenden (knee injury), Haji Wright (muscle injury)

DOUBTFUL

Jeremy Doku (calf injury), Matheus Nunes (injury), Frank Onyeka (inactive)

Erling Haaland will be hungry for goals here, having only failed to score against one of the prior 24 teams he’s faced in the Premier League, while he’s netted 19 times in 20 such appearances against promoted sides. Opposite number Taiwo Awoniyi has scored his last five Premier League goals in away matches, three of which came beyond the 75th minute.

Doku and Nunes are nearing returns for Man City, while Coventry's Wright is one of a number of longer-term absentees.

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham (Saturday, 16:00 CET)

Win probability
Win probabilityFlashscore

WON'T PLAY

Nottingham Forest: Nicolo Savona (knee injury)

Tottenham: Dejan Kulusevski (knee injury), Wilson Odobert (knee injury), Xavi Simons (knee injury)

DOUBTFUL

Ibrahim Sangare (calf injury), James Maddison (knock), Savio (muscle injury)

In the previous H2H, Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White broke through for his first and only goal against Spurs at the 12th attempt, one of seven of his last 10 club goals to come after half-time. Omar Marmoush is pursuing his maiden Spurs goal and could be impactful if he breaks the drought, with a 10-game winning streak in club games when scoring.

Forest's Sangare is doubtful, whilst Tottenham were assessing Kulusevski, Maddison and Savio during the week. 

Hull vs Aston Villa (Saturday, 18:30 CET)

Win probability
Win probabilityFlashscore

WON'T PLAY

Hull: Jack Butland (arm injury), Darko Gyabi (groin injury), Charlie Hughes (groin injury), Eliot Matazo (knee injury), Oscar Zambrano (hamstring injury)

Aston Villa: Joao Gomes (red card), Johan Manzambi (knee injury), Amadou Onana (knee injury)

DOUBTFUL

Joe Gelhardt (ankle injury), Brian Madjo (ankle injury)

Hull defender Semi Ajayi has never beaten Villa in five games for two different clubs (D1, L4), with his team conceding 2+ goals in each of those games. Having been cautioned only eight times all last season, John McGinn has already been booked in all three of Villa’s competitive games this term.

Hull have no fresh blows, with their lengthy injury list still including Butland and Zambrano. Villa remain without the suspended Gomes and will have to make a call on new signing Taylor Harwood-Bellis.

Everton vs Man Utd (Sunday, 15:00 CET)

Win probability

WON'T PLAY

Everton: Christian Norgaard (injury)

Man Utd: Carlos Baleba (ankle injury), Matthijs de Ligt (back injury), Amad Diallo (injury), Tom Heaton (injury), Manuel Ugarte (knee injury)

DOUBTFUL

William Tamen (injury), Mason Mount (foot injury)

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored an early winner in Everton’s H2H victory last season, but six of his seven goals since have come on or beyond the hour mark. Bruno Fernandes directly contributed to four of his side’s five goals against Ipswich (G3, A1), and no United player in Premier League history boasts more goal involvements against Everton than his 11 in just 13 matches (G6, A5).

Everton remain without Norgaard, while Amad is a doubt for United.

Arsenal vs Chelsea (Sunday, 17:30 CET)
