Everything you need to know
Arsenal's Defensive Setback: William Saliba missed Arsenal's draw against Chelsea due to a training injury, with manager Mikel Arteta confirming the defender requires further tests to determine the severity. Piero Hicapie and Yerson Mosquera deputised in central defence at Stamford Bridge, but FPL managers may be looking at Arsenal's defence differently with a second-string cast like for Wednesday's visit from Brentford.
Manchester City's Midfield Hope: Pep Guardiola is expected to provide an update on Rodri's fitness ahead of Manchester City's trip to Fulham on Tuesday, with the influential midfielder nearing his latest return. City are aiming to improve on a mixed performance against Leeds United, where they surrendered a lead before securing a late win in stoppage time.
Boost for Manchester United: Manchester United have been handed an advantage for their upcoming clash with West Ham, as Hammers star Lucas Paqueta is suspended after receiving a red card against Liverpool. The Brazil midfielder was sent off for dissent during West Ham's defeat on Sunday, ruling him out of the trip to Old Trafford.
Amorim's Growing Confidence: United manager Ruben Amorim praised his team's improved display in their recent win over Crystal Palace, highlighting the contributions of Joshua Zirkzee and Diogo Dalot. The Red Devils are looking to build momentum and climb the table as they face a busy schedule of December matches, where likely AFCON call-ups Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui are facing spells out of the side.
Newcastle's Mixed Team News: Eddie Howe revealed summer signing Yoane Wissa has played in a training game, signalling he is close to making his long-awaited debut for the club. However, the Magpies face uncertainty over goalkeeper Nick Pope's fitness, and defender Sven Botman requires a specialist's opinion on an ongoing injury before hosting Tottenham on Tuesday.
Newcastle's Upcoming Challenge: Following a convincing 4-1 victory over Everton, Newcastle are preparing to host Spurs at St James' Park. Lewis Miley scored and assisted against the Toffees, while defender Malick Thiaw's stock is on the rise following his brace on Merseyside.
Everton's Injury List: David Moyes has said that while Everton have no new major injuries after their loss to Newcastle, several squad members are playing through minor issues. The Toffees remain without defenders Seamus Coleman and Jarrad Branthwaite, as well as midfielder Merlin Rohl, for Tuesday's upcoming match against Bournemouth.
Everton's Disciplinary Absence: Idrissa Gueye is unavailable for Everton's next fixture as he serves the second match of a three-game ban following a red card against Man United. Moyes expressed disappointment with his team's lack of physicality in the recent defeat to Newcastle but remains encouraged by their overall progress this season.
