LMS Season 3 GW5 Preview

GW5 is about to start, and at the time of writing this is how it stands…

Adrian Pound, Paul Ridgewell and Dave Lawrence have all backed Liverpool who are at home to Burnley. Liverpool remain without Mohamed Salah because of a thigh injury, while Kostas Tsimikas and Dominik Szoboszlai are fitness doubts. Wataru Endo has returned from the Asian Cup but Ibrahima Konate is suspended and Conor Bradley is unavailable. Burnley could welcome back defenders Hannes Delcroix and Charlie Taylor. Jordan Beyer is likely to remain sidelined by a thigh issue and wingers Nathan Redmond and Luca Koleosho are long-term absentees.

Dan Lawrence has selected Chelsea who are away to Palace. Hodgson will have to decide whether to insert Brazilian youngster Matheus Franca or striker Odsonne Edouard into his attack in a bid to rejuvenate a side beaten 4-1 by Brighton last time out. Adam Wharton could be handed his full debut in midfield having come off the bench for Guehi last weekend, dropping Chris Richards into the defence. Chelsea may be without Benoit Badiashile after he come off at Villa Park, although Thiago Silva is likely to return to the XI regardless. Raheem Sterling and Christopher Nkunku face a battle to reclaim their places following positive showings by Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson in midweek. There is a chance Levi Colwill will be fit while Robert Sanchez has made a partial return to training. Reece James and Wesley Fofana remain among their long list of injured players.

Jon Evans has selected Luton who are at home to Sheffield United. Luton Town defender Teden Mengi is a doubt after injuring his ankle during training. New signing Daiki Hashioka is not yet ready to be involved, while defender Mads Andersen is still recovering from a calf problem. Sheffield United are without goalkeeper Ivo Grbic under concussion protocols but welcome Rhian Brewster back following his suspension. Oli McBurnie may recover from a calf issue, while Max Lowe remains a doubt.

WHO WILL BE THE LAST MAN STANDING!

LMS Season 3 GW4 Preview

GW4 is about to start, and at the time of writing this is how it stands…

20 players have backed Newcastle who are at home to Luton. Boss Eddie Howe missed Friday's pre-match briefing because of illness but Tindall expects him to be on the touchline on Saturday. Harvey Barnes, Callum Wilson and Joe Willock will be assessed as they near returns from lay-offs. Luton welcome back Teden Mengi and Jacob Brown from injury. Issa Kabore is also available following Burkina Faso's elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations. New signing Daiki Hashioka will travel to Tyneside but is unlikely to feature so soon after joining.

4 players have backed Chelsea who are at home to Wolves. Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku could start after playing 45 minutes in midweek but Levi Colwill is likely to remain out with a minor injury.Forward Nicolas Jackson is in the squad after arriving back from the Africa Cup of Nations. Wolves have no fresh injuries from their defeat at home to Manchester United on Thursday. Hwang Hee-chan remains away at the Asian Cup and Boubacar Traore is still with Mali at the Africa Cup of Nations. Midfielders Joao Gomes and Pablo Sarabia are pushing for a start after returning as substitutes in midweek.

4 players have backed Man United to beat West Ham. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says Lisandro Martinez was taken off against Wolves as a precaution and will be fit. Sofyan Amrabat is back from the Africa Cup of Nations and Victor Lindelof should be available, but Mason Mount is out and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a doubt. West Ham remain without Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio due to injury. Defender Nayef Aguerd could feature following Morocco's exit from the Africa Cup of Nations.

1 player has backed Bournemouth who are at home to Forest. New Bournemouth loan signing Enes Unal is waiting on a visa so is likely to miss this match. However, Dango Ouattara should be available after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations. Nottingham Forest's new goalkeeper Matz Sels is waiting on a work permit so might have to wait for his debut. Moussa Niakhate is back from the Africa Cup of Nations and loanee Nuno Tavares is in contention after being ineligible to face parent club Arsenal. Cheikhou Kouyate has been allowed more time in Senegal due to family reasons.

WHO WILL BE THE LAST MAN STANDING!
