PREDICTED LINE-UPS
ARSENAL

- Henrikh Mkhitaryan will definitely miss GW33 after picking up a knee injury during Arsenal's 4-1 win at home to CSKA Moscow on Thursday night. Arsene Wenger said: "Micki came off and he will be out for Sunday. He has a scan and the fear is that his medial knee ligament has been touched. We'll know more about that soon. For how long he will be out, I don't know."
- Despite the three-goal cushion, the Gunners boss is likely to rest key assets for the Southampton clash on Sunday
- Laurent Koscielny, Nacho Monreal and Aaron Ramsey are potential rotation candidates, while Mesut Ozil might be more secure of a start in attacking midfield due to Mkhitaryan's absence
BOURNEMOUTH

- Junior Stanislas ruled out for rest of the campaign
- Adam Smith will miss the Crystal Palace clash. Howe "hopes to get him back before the end of the season"
- Simon Francis is doubtful, will be a "late call"
- Jermain Defoe's late GW32 equaliser could see the veteran striker start ahead of Callum Wilson up front
BRIGHTON

- Dale Stephens remains a doubt, no new injury concerns for Hughton
- Anthony Knockaert serves the last match of a three-game suspension
BURNLEY

LIVERPOOL

- Mo Salah could yet feature against Everton on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp said: "We try everything to make him available. There are still 24hrs to go before we start so let's see what happens. I can't make Mo available just because it's the derby. If he's not 100% fit then he will not be involved."
- Reports suggest Emre Can could miss the rest of the campaign; the German will not be involved in the Merseyside derby
- Klopp likely to rotate ahead of UCL quarter-final second leg on Tuesday, Danny Ings' 'chances of starting don't look too bad'

MAN CITY

- Sergio Aguero remains a doubt for the GW33 Manchester derby, Man City will check on the striker's fitness in training today
- A report earlier this week suggested Guardiola could rest key players, while the manager hinted at rotation as his press conference on Friday: "We have three massive games coming up - United, Liverpool and Spurs - we have to see the players' condition. We have training later and we will see later. We will prepare the team to win the game."
