Premier League GW21: Injury news, team news, absentees and doubts for every club

With the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League yet to return, fans can enjoy yet another midweek round of Premier League fixtures over the next few days.

Basement battlers West Ham United and Nottingham Forest commence gameweek 21 at the London Stadium, before no fewer than eight games take place on Wednesday evening, involving four Big Six clubs.

Tottenham Hotspur head to Bournemouth, Chelsea meet Fulham in a West London derby, Manchester City host Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester United endeavour to return to winning ways at Burnley.

However, all roads lead to the Emirates Stadium on Thursday evening, when leaders Arsenal and holders Liverpool collide in a clash of the titans at the Emirates.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the injury news, team news, doubts and absentees for every club ahead of the next Premier League gameweek.
