However, Ruben Dias and Jeremy Doku will not feature against Chelsea on Saturday. As for the Blues, Enzo Fernandez and Levi Colwill could return but Romeo Lavia will be unavailable for a little while longer. Cole Palmer is said to be feeling "better" after playing through ankle pain against Wolves on Monday night.

Noussair Mazraoui skipped Manchester United's Europa League game against Rangers as a precaution after picking up a knock against Brighton last weekend. The Morocco international is the eighth-most popular defender in Dream Team at the time of writing - it's not clear whether he'll be involved against Fulham on Sunday night.

Red Devils' centre-backs Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt will also be assessed having been forced off on Thursday night. Rodrigo Bentancur returned for Tottenham against Hoffenheim in midway but striker Dominic Solanke will be sidelined for approximately six weeks.

Pape Matar Sarr, Djed Spence, Yves Bissouma are all considered doubts at this stage as Spurs' injury crisis continues but Ange Postecoglou said the latter "should be right" for Leicester's visit to North London. Mikel Arteta told journalists he is confident William Saliba and Myles Lewis-Skelly will be available for Arsenal's clash with Man City on February 2nd, the assumption being this weekend comes too soon for the pair.
