Premier League gameweek 36: Confirmed team news and manager quotes for every club

Sports Mole rounds up every Premier League club's confirmed team news ahead of gameweek 36, and what their managers have had to say about their injury situations.

ARSENAL

Gameweek 36 opponents: Bournemouth (H)

Out: None

Doubtful: Jurrien Timber (knee)

Mikel Arteta quotes: "Yes. Everybody is fit and available, so now it's a headache to make the right selection.

"We are not going to know [if Timber is ready] that until we throw him in. In eight months of football, he's only played 150 minutes with the Under 21s. It's a solution we can only do by throwing him on the pitch. He won't be playing for the Under-21s tonight."


ASTON VILLA

Gameweek 36 opponents: Brighton (A)

Out: Emiliano Buendia (knee), Tyrone Mings (knee), Boubacar Kamara (knee), Jacob Ramsey (toe)

Doubtful: Alex Moreno (calf), Youri Tielemans (groin), Emiliano Martinez (thigh)

Unai Emery quotes: "Tomorrow is the training session and we can have more information. Some players played yesterday and came in with small injuries and could be available for Sunday. Until tomorrow it's impossible to know.

"[Emiliano Martinez] Tomorrow is the key day in case he will feel comfortable and without risk. He could be available for Sunday but one day is very important for some players and one of them is Emiliano."


BOURNEMOUTH

Doubtful: Romain Faivre (thigh), Illia Zabarnyi (illness)

Andoni Iraola quotes: "[Antoine Semenyo]'s going to be involved in the squad and this is the best news for us this week. It looked bad, but he's so strong; his strong muscles keep his structure in place, and everything has been cleared; he's ready to travel with us and be part of the squad."


BRENTFORD

Gameweek 36 opponents: Fulham (H)

Out: Josh Dasilva (knee), Rico Henry (knee), Ben Mee (ankle), Aaron Hickey (hamstring)

Doubtful: None

Thomas Frank quotes: "[Henry's] progress is going forward. He's out for the season but it's looking good that, when we start pre-season, he should be ready to join in 100%, which is the main bit for me, for now. So, hopefully, he can come back fit and firing ready for next season."

Gameweek 36 opponents: West Ham (H)

Out: Wesley Fofana (knee), Romeo Lavia (thigh), Reece James (hamstring), Lesley Ugochukwu (hamstring), Enzo Fernandez (groin), Ben Chilwell (knee), Malo Gusto (knee), Carney Chukwuemeka (knee)

Out: Sam Johnstone (elbow), Cheick Doucoure (Achilles), Matheus Franca (groin), Jefferson Lerma (hamstring), Rob Holding (thigh)

Doubtful: Marc Guehi (knee), Eberechi Eze (knee)

Oliver Glasner quotes: "It is very positive news - both of them (Eze and Guehi) are fit and have trained. The players were off after Sunday and we started yesterday preparing them for the [Manchester] United game.

"Both trained yesterday in the full session and again today, so it looks good. If everything continues as we expect, both will be in the squad."


EVERTON

Gameweek 36 opponents: Luton (A)

Out: Dele Alli (groin), Lewis Dobbin (ankle), Nathan Patterson (hamstring), Vitaliy Mykolenko (ankle)

Doubtful: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (illness), Seamus Coleman (groin)

Sean Dyche quotes: "We'll see [on Calvert-Lewin] - he was out on the grass today so we're hopeful for no reaction and therefore he'd certainly be in consideration.

"Again [on Coleman] it's his first day but he's had a few days with the sport science team, so we'll see how he fares tomorrow and see that there's no reaction. Beto is clear and trained today.

"It's still early [for Dobbin]. He's had around six weeks out and he played around 65 minutes the other day - I was at the game.

"We'd like to try to get him involved sooner rather than later. Just before he got injured he had a real chance of playing as we thought he was doing very well but, equally, we've got to be fair to him and his true fitness to deliver if and when he gets on the pitch."


FULHAM

Gameweek 36 opponents: Brentford (A)

Out: None

Doubtful: Harrison Reed (knock)

Out: Joel Matip (knee), Thiago Alcantara (thigh), Diogo Jota (groin)

Doubtful: Conor Bradley (ankle), Virgil van Dijk (knock)

Jurgen Klopp quotes: "[Diogo Jota] is not in team training. Conor [Bradley] is, Virgil (Van Dijk) wasn't but should be part of team training today so we'll see what we do there."


LUTON TOWN

Gameweek 36 opponents: Everton (H)

Out: Tom Lockyer (heart issue), Amari'i Bell (hamstring), Marvelous Nakamba (knee), Chiedozie Ogbene (hamstring), Jacob Brown (knee), Issa Kabore (ankle), Dan Potts (thigh), Mads Andersen (calf)

Doubtful: None

Rob Edwards quotes: "We're pretty much there, where we were last week.

"[Elijah Adebayo]'s good, he's trained well and has had no issues. We'll make the right call on him. If he starts, then he won't be likely to play the full game but he's in a position to feature and he's good to go.

"We've missed his energy, his pressing and his presence in defending and attacking set pieces.

"[Ross Barkley] felt the back of his knee slightly but he's trained and he's fine."


MANCHESTER CITY

Gameweek 36 opponents: Wolves (H)

Out: None

Doubtful: Ederson (shoulder)

Pep Guardiola quotes: "[Phil Foden and Ruben Dias] are okay. [Ederson's injury] looked worse than it is. He trained yesterday and feels good. He could be back against Wolves.

"Haaland is fit to start tomorrow. I will think about the team selection later."


MANCHESTER UNITED

Gameweek 36 opponents: Crystal Palace (A)

Out: Luke Shaw (thigh), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Anthony Martial (groin), Lisandro Martinez (calf), Victor Lindelof (thigh), Raphael Varane (muscle), Marcus Rashford (foot), Willy Kambwala (unspecified)

Doubtful: Jonny Evans (muscle), Scott McTominay (knee), Bruno Fernandes (knock)

Erik ten Hag quotes: "Scott [McTominay] didn't train so far this week but I expect him back in training on Saturday. Then we will have to see up to the game if he is 100% available or for [only] a part in the game.

"Then also, after the game, we had an issue with Bruno [Fernandes] so he is a doubt for Monday, but he will fight to be a part of this game, as we know with Bruno.

"Never rule him out for any game and he is giving his best to be available. Jonny Evans returned today in the team training and, tomorrow, we will see if it is enough before the two days before the game. Anthony [Martial] was partly in the team training.

"[Rashford]'s issue after Coventry hasn't healed. I can't tell [you] when he will be back in training."


NEWCASTLE UNITED

Newcastle United's Nick Pope is substituted after sustaining an injury on December 2, 2023© Reuters

Gameweek 36 opponents: Burnley (A)

Out: Sandro Tonali (suspended), Sven Botman (knee), Lewis Miley (back), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Kieran Trippier (calf), Joe Willock (Achilles), Matt Targett (Achilles), Fabian Schar (hamstring)

Doubtful: Joelinton (thigh), Miguel Almiron (knee), Nick Pope (shoulder)

Eddie Howe quotes: "Fabian Schar will miss a period of time out with a minor hamstring problem. I doubt we'll see him again this season.

"Miguel Almiron returned, Joelinton returned to training this week. Their first steps back into full team training. Nick Pope as well. Been a really good week to have three experienced, quality players back. It's given us a big lift.

"Kieran hasn't trained with the group this week, he's been away training by himself with our physiotherapist. We anticipate he'll be back next week to train, hopefully. He could be involved before the end of the season."


NOTTINGHAM FOREST

Gameweek 36 opponents: Sheffield United (A)

Out: None

Doubtful: Neco Williams (hamstring), Taiwo Awoniyi (thigh)

Nuno Espirito Santo quotes: "[Awoniyi] was out, he joined the team today, he had good feelings. We still have to wait for tomorrow to see how he goes, and if he feels OK - like he felt today - I think he can help.

"He has experience, he's a goal scorer. We are aware that he's not at his top level, but he can definitely be a helpful player for us.

"Willy [Boly] has recovered. He is OK. Neco is still to join the group, him and T. Let's wait tomorrow and assess them properly."


SHEFFIELD UNITED

Gameweek 36 opponents: Nottingham Forest (H)

Out: Max Lowe (ankle), Rhys Norrington-Davies (hamstring), Chris Basham (foot), John Egan (ankle), Rhian Brewster (hamstring), Daniel Jebbison (ill), George Baldock (calf), Tom Davies (thigh), Oli McBurnie (thigh)

Doubtful: None

Chris Wilder quotes: "We had better news on Oli McBurnie in the second opinion and the second scan. It'll still be touch and go if he plays again this season but he doesn't need surgery and hopefully, if we can get him back for the last game of the season that'll be brilliant."


TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

Gameweek 36 opponents: Liverpool (A)

Out: Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), Fraser Forster (foot), Manor Solomon (knee), Ben Davies (calf) Destiny Udogie (thigh), Timo Werner (thigh)

Doubtful: None

Ange Postecoglou quotes: "It's a bit early to tell. There are a few of the guys who are feeling the effects of the game. We'll probably get a better update later in the afternoon. I don't think there is anything significant out of it, but we'll find out a bit later."


WEST HAM UNITED

Gameweek 36 opponents: Chelsea (A)

Out: Nayef Aguerd (ankle)

Doubtful: Konstantinos Mavropanos (unknown), George Earthy (head)

David Moyes quotes: "On the two centre-backs, Dinos [Mavropanos] is making some progress and [Nayef] Aguerd isn't available. Regarding others, I don't think we're too bad at the moment, I think we're OK."


WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

Gameweek 36 opponents: Man City (A)

Out: Craig Dawson (groin), Leon Chiwone (ankle)

Doubtful: Rayan Ait-Nouri (knee), Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (knee), Pedro Neto (hamstring), Santiago Bueno (hamstring), Noha Lemina (thigh)

Gary O'Neil quotes: "[Jean-Ricner] Bellegarde is back in full training, Pedro Neto is back in full training, Santi [Santiago Bueno] is back in full training.

"Noha [Lemina] is back in training, but with a little bit more to do. Dawsey [Craig Dawson] is still out but the rest are getting pretty close now. The group is in a better place but they will need to be because it is a fairly difficult test that we will face tomorrow."
