"Pep Guardiola says Jeremy Doku has a leg injury. He likes Palace, who he thinks are a good, all-round side, while Oliver Glasner is happy to have Ismailia Sarr back, especially because of his pace in behind. He replaces Eddie Nketiah, but the fantastic Daniel Munoz is still unavailable, so Nathaniel Clyne continues at right-back. Share Looking more closely at the teams, Sunderland make three changes, one in defence, one in midfield and one in attack:"
"Reinildo, whose name has ISS overtones, replaces Trai Hume; Chemsdine Talbi is in for Lutsharel Geertruida; and Brian Brobbey plays up front, not Wilson Isidor. Newcastle are without the injured Joelinton and Nick Pope, with Lewis Miley replacing the former wile Anthony Elanga is in for Harvey Barnes. Share Unai Emery says West Ham are solid and compact with good players and a plan; they're very strong in transition. Villa need to defend, control the game with their positioning and try and progress the ball."
"Nuno says he thinks long and hard about whether to play Callum Wilson as well Jarrod Bowen today he doesn't and considers the opponent and gameplan. Share Thomas Frank says it's been good to have a few days off between games, and his team are ready to go. He thinks his team now has a more discernible structure and identity overall he liked the last three performances. He's so busy, it's hard to enjoy the job, but in the relentlessness it's a privilege to have his job. The team are more solid defensively and are now looking to improve in attack. He's expecting a transitional game, Forest sitting back and waiting for a counter, and rest defence and counter-pressing will be important. Spurs need to close down Forest's midfield two, while Kudus and Xavi Simons are starting to play well."
Jeremy Doku is sidelined with a leg injury while Ismaila Sarr returns, replacing Eddie Nketiah; Daniel Munoz remains unavailable and Nathaniel Clyne continues at right-back. Sunderland make three changes: Reinildo for Trai Hume, Chemsdine Talbi for Lutsharel Geertruida, and Brian Brobbey leads the attack. Newcastle miss Joelinton and Nick Pope, with Lewis Miley replacing Joelinton and Anthony Elanga coming in for Harvey Barnes. West Ham are described as solid, compact and strong in transition; opponents are urged to defend, control positioning and progress the ball. Managers stress structure, defensive improvement, transitional play, pressing, and specific tactical adjustments.
