Charlie Adam and Ibrahim Afellay are suspended for Stoke, Mame Diouf (hamstring), Marko Arnautovic (ankle) and Glen Johnson (groin) are doubts and Peter Odemwingie (hamstring) and Ryan Shawcross (back) are sidelined. However, striker Jonathan Walters will be in the squad.

Crystal Palace (2) v Man City (1)

Palace are without right-back Joel Ward (knee). Connor Wickham is doubtful with a knock and fellow striker Marouane Chamakh has suffered an abductor injury so Chelsea loanee Patrick Bamford is set to start in attack. Midfielder Yohan Cabaye (groin) and goalkeeper Julian Speroni (hand) are available.

Manchester City playmaker David Silva has been ruled out with an ankle injury. The Spaniard is expected to be fit for Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Juventus but midfielder Fabian Delph (hamstring) faces a month out with the injury suffered on international duty. Bacary Sagna is fit after an ankle scare but Pablo Zabaleta (knee) and Gael Clichy (ankle) remain sidelined. New signings Kevin de Bruyne and Nicolas Otamendi are in contention to make debuts.

Everton (9) v Chelsea (13)

Everton manager Roberto Martinez will make a late decision on left-back Bryan Oviedo (knee). Defender Brendan Galloway (knee) is fit and winger Aaron Lennon is set to be named in the squad after completing a deadline-day move from Tottenham but midfielder Tom Cleverley (ankle) is out for six weeks.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has undergone and will be out for approximately three months. Asmir Begovic will deputise at Goodison Park, while playmaker Oscar (knee) is still a few days away from full fitness. Captain John Terry is available after his one-match suspension and fellow defender Papy Djilobodji is in the squad after signing from Nantes.

Man Utd (5) v Liverpool (7)

David de Gea looks set to return to the Manchester United squad after signing a new contract with the club. Midfielder Michael Carrick is available after he overcame a calf injury he suffered in international duty but centre-back Phil Jones (thrombosis) and forward Andreas Pereira (unspecified) are out.

Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho is suspended for the trip. Winger Jordon Ibe or striker Danny Ings are in contention to replace the Brazilian. Midfielder Jordan Henderson (foot) and Adam Lallana (thigh) remain doubtful, while striker Daniel Sturridge has returned to full training this week but is unlikely to feature.

Norwich (14) v Bournemouth (11)

Norwich’s on-loan forward Dieumerci Mbokani could make his debut, while winger Matt Jarvis — a deadline-day loan signing from West Ham — should also feature. Full-back Steven Whittaker (suspended) and midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu (foot) are out and striker Lewis Grabban is short on training.

Striker Glenn Murray goes straight into Bournemouth’s squad, alongside fellow new signing Joe Bennett. Midfielder Harry Arter is not yet match fit, Tyrone Mings and Max Gradel are long-term absentees, while the on-loan Christian Atsu is also expected to miss out again.

Watford (17) v Swansea (4)

Watford midfielder Adlene Guedioura and striker Obbi Oulare are available but Quique Sanchez Flores has doubts about the fitness of the latter. Fellow deadline-day signing Victor Ibarbo, who arrived on loan from Cagliari, needs a work permit and Miguel Britos (suspended) and Joel Ekstrand (knee) are out.

Jefferson Montero has recovered from a thigh injury and is available for Swansea. The Welsh club’s players have all returned from international duty unscathed so manager Garry Monk has a fully fit squad for the trip to Vicarage Road.

SUNDAY

Leicester (3) v Aston Villa (12)

Gokhan Inler could make his full Barclays Premier League debut for Leicester. However, the best that recent arrival Nathan Dyer can hope for is a place on the bench. Leading scorer Riyad Mahrez was forced off against Bournemouth with a back injury but the winger proved his fitness by playing for Algeria during the international break.

Idrissa Gueye (hamstring) is a doubt for Villa but boss Tim Sherwood hopes Jack Grealish can shake off ankle trouble. Adama Traore (ankle) is a doubt, Joleon Lescott could make his debut after joining from West Brom on deadline day but Tiago Ilori (lacking match fitness) and Jores Okore (knee) are out.

Sunderland (20) v Tottenham (16)

Fabio Borini is set to make his second Sunderland debut against Tottenham. The Italian — who rejoined the Black Cats from Liverpool — will be joined in Dick Advocaat’s squad by fellow new boy Ola Toivonen. Jeremain Lens has shrugged off a recent knee problem to pronounce himself fit, but Sunderland are without DeAndre Yedlin and injured trio Adam Johnson, Adam Matthews and Jordi Gomez.

Son Heung-min is in line to make his Tottenham debut after his big-money move from Bayer Leverkusen. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino said the game could come too soon for fellow new recruit Clinton N’Jie while Christian Eriksen (knee) and Mousa Dembele (foot) are out.

MONDAY

West Ham (8) v Newcastle (19)

West Ham wingers Michail Antonio and Victor Moses are in contention, as is striker Nikica Jelavic — but midfielder Alex Song is absent with ankle trouble. Striker Andy Carroll could play after a knee injury but Enner Valencia (knee) and Joey O’Brien (calf) are out and Mauro Zarate (hamstring) is a doubt.

Newcastle head coach Steve McClaren will be without striker Aleksandar Mitrovic through suspension for Monday night’s Barclays Premier League trip to West Ham. McClaren otherwise has no fresh selection problems, although defender Paul Dummett has suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury.
