DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news for Gameweek 23 in one convenient location. Trent Alexander-Arnold will not be risked at Plymouth on Sunday and is considered a doubt for next week's Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. Speaking to journalists, Arne Slot said: "Trent? It's too early for him. Difficult to say for Everton. It won't take months or even weeks but it is only three days after Plymouth so let's wait and see.".

Liverpool's No66 currently features in more than 25% of teams. Unai Emery named five absentees ahead of Aston Villa's FA Cup clash with Tottenham on Sunday: Matty Cash, Tyrone Mings, Pau Torres, Ross Barkley and Ollie Watkins. The latter is the fifth-most selected striker in Dream Team at the time of writing. Speaking on Watkins, Emery told reporters: "I think he is not going to train because he will need more days to recover. Hopefully for next week, he will be available.".
