Overview
- Manchester United visit West Ham tonight on a four‑game league winning run under Michael Carrick, with a victory set to lift them to third; Mason Mount is out and Matthijs de Ligt is unlikely, while the Hammers miss Jean‑Clair Todibo and Łukasz Fabiański despite recent improved form near the drop zone.
- Chelsea host Leeds seeking a fifth straight Premier League win to keep heat on the top‑four places, with the Blues one point behind United as Leeds try to widen their cushion from relegation.
- Manchester City welcome Fulham on Wednesday after their late win at Anfield, and a victory would cut Arsenal’s lead to three points before the Gunners travel to Brentford on Thursday, with Pep Guardiola urging players to ignore title‑race chatter.
- Liverpool head to Sunderland without suspended Dominik Szoboszlai after the City defeat, as Arne Slot calls this his toughest season and says failing to reach the Champions League would be unacceptable; Sunderland remain unbeaten at home.
- Injury lists are central to team selections this round, with Spurs counting 12 absences and City set to be without Joško Gvardiol, Jérémy Doku, John Stones and Mateo Kovačić against Fulham.
