The Premier League plays its tenth round this weekend, the last before the international break: four games on Saturday 7 November and five on Sunday 8 November. This is who is missing and who is back, game by game, from the clubs' own team news where it was published and from the league's availability notes, which this site's licensed feed carries and which were last updated at 06:23 CET on Saturday. Those notes give a status and, for doubts, a percentage chance of playing; a note that says "75% chance" is the league's own estimate, not a club statement.

## Saturday

**Leeds v Tottenham, 13:30 CET.** Spurs have Rodrigo Bentancur back after a three-match ban for his red card against Manchester United on 10 October, and Tosin Adarabioyo is available after rejoining training on Thursday, the club said on Friday. Roberto De Zerbi listed the absentees himself: "Savio, Bergvall and Mudryk. Tosin is available, yesterday he joined the group." Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons are longer-term. For Leeds, the Premier League's predicted line-ups piece says Noah Okafor and Anton Stach have "major doubts", that James Justin and Gabriel Gudmundsson have been cleared, that Daniel Farke is "carefully optimistic" about Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and that Joe Rodon is back in full training. The league's notes put Stach, with a foot injury, and Okafor, with a thigh injury, at 50% each. Leeds are 12th on 11 points and have not won in five league games; Spurs are ninth on 12 and have won their last three, the league's preview says.

**Arsenal v Hull City, 16:00 CET.** Arsenal are top on 24 points. Bukayo Saka remains out with the thigh injury he suffered in October, with no return date in the notes, and Max Dowman is suspended until 29 November. Arsenal's own Friday press-conference pages could not be read by this site, so nothing beyond the notes is stated for them. Hull, 11th on 11 points, are without Matt Crooks, suspended after five yellow cards, and Hidemasa Morita is unlikely to play with a groin problem, the league's line-ups piece says; the notes list Darko Gyabi and Lucas Gourna-Douath at 75%. Hull have not won since August but beat Manchester United 2-0 and drew 2-2 with Chelsea this season, and Arsenal have won 18 of their last 19 league games against promoted sides, according to the league's preview.

**Fulham v Newcastle, 16:00 CET.** Newcastle's head coach Matthias Jaissle said on Thursday that Joelinton is out with a new injury, "we need to make the final treatment plan for him and see how long he will be out", that Jacob Ramsey serves a one-match ban for his red card against Everton, that Lewis Miley is still out, and that Matias Fernandez-Pardo is back in training after a virus but not yet confirmed. Fulham's Tom Cairney has a knee injury, added to the notes on Friday, with a return expected after the break. This site's Markets desk has the week's price move on this game.

**Nottingham Forest v Manchester City, 18:30 CET.** Forest, 19th on six points, have Nicolás Domínguez out for eight weeks, the league's line-ups piece says, while Igor Jesus "has trained all week" and Daniel Muñoz hopes to return. The notes list Nicolò Savona with a knee injury and no return date. City, second on 21, are without Antoine Semenyo, who has a knee injury with no return date in the notes. Thursday's preview on this site has the rest.

## Sunday

**Crystal Palace v Liverpool, 15:00 CET.** Palace are 18th on seven points. Jean-Philippe Mateta is suspended until 2 December, Ismaïla Sarr, with a groin injury, and Takehiro Tomiyasu, with a calf injury, are expected back on 21 November, and Chadi Riad is out long-term, the notes say. Liverpool, sixth on 15, list Ryan Gravenberch at 75% with the foot injury first reported this week, and Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Hugo Ekitiké and Vitezslav Jaros out with no return date. Friday's preview on this site has the detail.

**Sunderland v Chelsea, 15:00 CET.** Sunderland are bottom on five points. Omar Alderete is suspended until 21 November, Daniel Ballard, Habib Diarra and Romaine Mundle are injured with no return date, and Nordi Mukiele is at 75% after a concussion, the notes say. Chelsea, fourth on 16, added Moisés Caicedo to the notes on Friday afternoon with a calf injury and a 75% chance of playing; Jordan Henderson is at 75% after illness and Emiliano Martínez at 75% after a head injury. Reece James, João Pedro, Maxence Lacroix, Jorrel Hato, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Aaron Anselmino are listed as out with no return date.

**Brighton v Brentford, 15:00 CET.** Brighton, third on 19, have Pascal Struijk and Femi Azeez listed as expected back on 8 November, the day of the game, and Ferdi Kadıoğlu at 75% with a hip injury; Kaoru Mitoma and Zadok Yohanna are expected back on 22 November, and Evan Ferguson and Stefanos Tzimas are out with no return date. Brentford, seventh on 14, are without Rico Henry and Antoni Milambo, have Fábio Carvalho expected back on 23 November, and list Josh Dasilva at 25%.

**Ipswich v Bournemouth, 15:00 CET.** Ipswich, 14th on 11, have no injured or suspended first-team players in the notes. Bournemouth, eighth on 12, added Juanlu Sánchez with an ankle injury on Thursday, have Alex Scott at 75%, and list Julián Araujo, Veljko Milosavljevic and Alex Tóth as injured.

**Manchester United v Aston Villa, 17:30 CET.** Carlos Baleba is out for "a number of weeks" with a hamstring injury, Michael Carrick said on Friday, as BBC Sport reported, and Lisandro Martínez is suspended after his red card at Chelsea, until 22 November in the notes; Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, Manuel Ugarte and Benjamin Sesko are out with no return date, and Patrick Dorgu is at 75%. Villa are without Matty Cash, suspended for one game, and Matteo Ruggeri and Amadou Onana, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka faces a late test, the club said on Friday. The full preview is on this site.

## What happens next

After Sunday there is no Premier League football until Saturday 21 November, so every player listed with a return date in the next two weeks, Struijk, Azeez, Sarr, Tomiyasu, Cairney, Mitoma and Carvalho among them, has a chance of being back for the next round. The suspensions run out in order: Cash and Ramsey are free for 21 November, Alderete the same day, Crooks and Martínez for 22 November, Dowman for 29 November, and Mateta for 2 December, according to the notes. Confirmed teams for each game are published about an hour and a quarter before kick-off.
