Premier League daily boards

Arteta says he will rotate heavily again after five changes worked, though no players are named.

Arsenal made five changes without losing intensity, and Mikel Arteta says "that is going to for sure make me do it again because then it gives you no reason not to do it." His side had played in Munich in the Champions League three days before, a schedule he called "terrible."

Kulusevski back from injury as a substitute, and Maddison also back; both available, minutes likely to build.

"I thought Kulusevski just for the fans, just for the fans, because they waited him on the pitch." Roberto De Zerbi on sending on a returning Dejan Kulusevski for Mohammed Kudus, who could have finished. With James Maddison back too, Spurs have "another atmosphere."

Le Bris calls the cup tie a chance for the full squad, hinting at rotation without naming who plays.

Rotation hint for Sunderland's cup tie with Brentford on 28 October: manager Régis Le Bris called it "a good opportunity for the full group as well, the depth of the squad." On the goalless draw, decided by small errors: "at the end, I think it's still a good point."

Brobbey returned but tired at 60 minutes and still needs to build fitness, so his minutes may stay limited.

Brian Brobbey returned to Sunderland's starting XI but couldn't go past 60 minutes. Manager Régis Le Bris: "He's in a good place and he needs to build now his physical shape." On Nordi Mukiele going down: "I think it's good... it was a bit difficult."

Captain Coyle has a stiff hamstring. Manager thinks it's not serious but says 'we will see', so his availability is uncertain.

Captain Lewie Coyle is "a little bit stiff with the hamstring" after Hull City's 1-1 draw with Brentford, but manager Sergej Jakirović doesn't think it's serious: "we will see." Oli McBurnie and Elliot Stroud each took a kick. "Nothing serious, I think."

Saka and Tzolis out, Arteta says Madueke's versatility is needed, implying a bigger role; Mykolenko status unknown.

Noni Madueke's versatility is needed with Bukayo Saka and Christos Tzolis out, Arsenal's Mikel Arteta said: "if he continues to transform his mentality... he's an unbelievable player." Everton's David Moyes, asked about Vitalii Mykolenko: "Don't know yet, no, no idea."

Thomas went off injured; Lampard has no news and is hoping it's not bad.

"When the ball turned over to us, did we have enough about us in terms of what we want to do? No." Frank Lampard on Coventry's defeat to Fulham. Ethan Pinnock said they must stop rushing it. Bobby Thomas went off injured and Lampard had no news: "we're hoping it's not bad."

Arteta says Gyökeres will get his chance after bench impact; no timing or start commitment.

Viktor Gyökeres made an impact off the bench, and Arsenal's Mikel Arteta says the striker's chance is coming: "He knows that he's a very important player for the team, and he will have his chance, and then he needs to prove his point like we all do."

Arteta says Dowman probably deserves more minutes but needs more game time; hedged, no commitment.

Max Dowman, 16, has three Arsenal appearances this season and "probably he deserves more," Mikel Arteta said, though he needs more game time before he can provide consistently. How hard is it at 16? "Tell me how many 16-year-olds have played in the last 100 years at this level."

Porro has a latest injury from rushing back; Bergvall knee twist and Tosin 'nothing important' add vague context, no firm status.

Pedro Porro's latest injury came because "he pushed to come before the right time," Roberto De Zerbi said before Spurs' trip to Chelsea. Lucas Bergvall twisted his knee in a first-minute tackle at Man United. Tosin felt pain against Coventry, "nothing important."

Gómez and De Cuyper rested for Liverpool trip; Groß will need managing at times, hedged.

Diego Gómez and Maxim De Cuyper sat out Brighton's Conference League game at Jablonec managed after heavy international travel, with the Premier League trip to Liverpool in mind, said Fabian Hürzeler. Pascal Groß is coping with heavy minutes but will need managing at times.

Jaissle hints his 3-1-6 build-up shape may change against Palace; unclear what changes or for whom.

"Maybe it can change already now against Crystal Palace": Newcastle's Matthias Jaissle on his 3-1-6 build-up shape. He admitted two heavy defeats have hurt his young squad's confidence, and losing leaders in the summer left "a vacuum you need to refill."

Steur has been an unused sub and must build confidence; Nico González is ahead of him in the competition.

Sean Steur has been an unused Newcastle substitute for the last couple of games because, Matthias Jaissle said ahead of Palace, he needs to build confidence and maturity with no Premier League experience. Nico González has done well in that position: "that's a competition."

Rotation likely across three games in quick succession, but no players named. Anyone with a poor attitude won't be used.

Rotation is likely for Brentford across three games in quick succession. "Players know that we'll probably... shift it around," said Keith Andrews. Even with two midfielders banned at Hull, anyone whose "approach isn't right, the intent, the positive demeanour" won't be used.

Van den Berg is back but wasn't judged able to play a full half, so a minutes limit is likely.

Sepp van den Berg, out since last season's final game, is back for Brentford, but Keith Andrews picked Aaron Hickey against Villa: "Didn't feel Sepp was probably there in terms of being able to play a full half."

Schuster is back in training for Hull, "back to himself more or less". Hedged return, no new knocks.

Jannik Schuster is back in Brentford training for the Premier League trip to Hull on 25 October, "back to himself more or less", says Keith Andrews. No new knocks from Liverpool. Nathan Collins returned early from injury; Mathias Jensen took "another really good step".

Some Villa players are in pain; status for City to be decided after training, no names given.

Boubacar Kamara and Emiliano Buendía are Villa captains with John McGinn and Tyrone Mings, Unai Emery said. He has entered the training-ground dressing room "only I think three times" — it is the players' space. Some players were "in some pain"; status for City after training.

Quenda and Estêvão have been out of the squad; Alonso only vaguely says everyone gets moments.

Geovany Quenda and Estêvão have not played for Chelsea in a few games. Asked about them, Xabi Alonso said: "All the players, they want to play, and I understand when they are disappointed after not playing for a few games." There will be moments for everyone, he added.

De Zerbi says Spurs could use a back three or four at Chelsea; no commitment, no named players.

Spurs could use a back three or a back four at Chelsea, Roberto De Zerbi said: "We can play tomorrow 3 at the back, we can play 4 like the... first period." On Spurs' poor record there, mostly before his time: "We have already many problems. This is not a problem."

Maddison's role may be filled by Tel, Marmoush, Gallagher or Porro if he isn't ready; Odobert unknown.

Mathys Tel, Omar Marmoush, Conor Gallagher or Pedro Porro can play James Maddison's role if he isn't ready for Spurs' Premier League trip to Chelsea, Roberto De Zerbi said. Asked about Wilson Odobert's return: "He has not started yet to work with us and I have no idea."

Carrick wouldn't rule out dropping Fernandes or removing his captaincy; no commitment either way.

"It's not divided, no, it's not divided." Michael Carrick denied a split in the Man United dressing room after public comments from Lisandro Martínez and Bruno Fernandes. Asked if he would strip Fernandes of the captaincy or drop him, he wouldn't commit either way.

Moyes is considering moving Grealish into a central role; Branthwaite's availability for Arsenal not given.

Jack Grealish could move from the left into a more central role, as Everton tried against Blackburn. "We've got a big consideration" about it, said David Moyes. Before facing Arsenal, he wouldn't say if Jarrad Branthwaite is available and kept other knocks quiet.

Armstrong is ahead of Hackney, but may need rest during a three-games-in-seven-days run after Arsenal.

Harrison Armstrong has "absolutely stepped ahead of where we thought he would be," said Everton's David Moyes – partly why Hayden Hackney can't get in. But at his age "there'll be times where he needs to step away," with a "push" of three games in seven days after Arsenal.

Moyes will rest tired Barry when he can, but lacks striker cover, so Barry likely keeps playing.

Thierno Barry, Everton's only striker, has looked tired in some games. David Moyes will rest him when he can, but "us finding somebody at the moment we know might not be that easy" – and Barry wants full matches to give himself a better chance of scoring.

Nørgaard probably not fully firing until after the international break; Moyes glad he didn't start him.

Christian Nørgaard probably won't be "fully firing" till after the next international break, having had no real pre-season, said Everton's David Moyes. Nørgaard apologised after his Chelsea cameo, accepting he's further off than expected; Moyes is glad he didn't start him.

Ipswich use three shape variants, possibly a back five at Man City; Daizen or Abdul may drop in, so a defensive tilt.

"Daizen or Abdul" dropping into a back five is one of "3 different versions" of Ipswich's shape, says manager Gary O'Neil: often a back four, that makeshift five, or a proper back five at Man City. Forest, up next, are "really, really difficult to break down."

Akpom has forced his way into O'Neil's thinking despite two new number 9s; vague on starting.

"Chuba Akpom's just knuckled down every day, worked hard, forced his way into our thoughts," says Ipswich manager Gary O'Neil, despite the club signing two number 9s. His biggest challenge now: keeping a big squad engaged when not everyone gets the minutes they want.

Seven under-23s started in Europe; Le Bris says they need experience, and the Leeds lineup may differ, but no names given.

Brobbey and Isidor were missing; Tutierov scored and 'deserved' chance, but no next-game start stated.

Tchaouna and Gboho fit but still adapting; Lampard says no automatic starts for big signings.

Loum Tchaouna and Yann Gboho are fit and training but still "adapting to how we are", Coventry manager Frank Lampard said before Fulham. No favourites; a big fee buys no place: "the idea that they come in and then they're straight in the team because of that tag is not right."

O'Neil says new signing still adjusting to Premier League pace and physicality; suggests limited role against Forest.

Abdoul Ouattara "will still be getting used to the speed and the physicality" of the Premier League, Ipswich manager Gary O'Neil said of the new signing ahead of the league game against Forest on 23 October.

O'Neil says starting Florentino, Lukić and Palacios together is possible but untried; a hedged midfield option with no commitment.

"Getting the 3 of them in would require some clever thinking or some moving around, but I don't think it's impossible." Ipswich manager Gary O'Neil on fielding Florentino, Saša Lukić and Exequiel Palacios together. It has been discussed, but he hasn't felt the need to try it.

Emersonn still subbed late, limiting minutes; two of Emersonn, Flemming, Akpom could start together with Flemming at 10.

Emersonn "looks like he needs changing towards the end of games still," says Ipswich manager Gary O'Neil, and two of Emersonn, Zian Flemming and Chuba Akpom could start together, Flemming as the 10. Akpom, yet to start a league game, says he's best as a 9.

David may get minutes at Jablonec but starting not confirmed; manager coy.

Promise David may get minutes at Jablonec in the Conference League on 23 October, but Brighton's Fabian Hürzeler won't say if he starts: "it didn't say that he will start the game, so it's up to you how you interpret that." He says David is in a better place.

Cherki, Foden, Haaland could all play together depending on game plan; only Haaland 100% available.

Cunha, short of fitness, was subbed off to avoid risk; suggests managed minutes soon. Nothing firm on De Ligt.

Matheus Cunha, back for Man United in the Champions League loss to Como, wanted to stay on. Michael Carrick took him off anyway, short of football as he is: "by that stage we didn't want to take any more risk with him." Asked about Matthijs de Ligt, Carrick gave no detail.

Sunderland managing workload at Lech Poznań with Leeds in mind; likely rotation, but no names given.

Glasner wants Delap in more scoring positions after only 2 of 24 shots; no concrete role change stated.

Amass is in contention at left-back with no commitment to start; Dorgu injured.

Rashford has a lingering hip issue with no timeline; de Ligt fit but start unconfirmed.

Marcus Rashford is "still feeling a little bit of a hip issue," Man United's Michael Carrick said before Como, with no timeline. Matthijs de Ligt, back training for weeks after 11 months out, is "fit, he's ready", but Carrick wouldn't say if he starts.

Kamara is rebuilding fitness after two long injuries and is progressing; Emery expects him to return to his best, but no minutes were given.
