Predicted lineup

Press Conference
<ul>
<li>Dean Smith said Ross Barkley was "very, very close" to being involved against Palace but he decided not to risk it. The Chelsea loanee is ineligible to face his parent club. Enzi Konsa should come in for the suspended Tyrone Mings.</li>
</ul>
Pending Evaluation
--
Ruled Out 
<ul>
<li>Wesley (ACL knee) - Building strength and introducing some ball work. A potential return in early 2021.</li>

<li>Ross Barkley (hamstring) - Still not 100 per cent, but unable to line-up against his parent club anyway.</li>

Press Conference
<ul>
<li>Aaron Connolly was a late withdrawal from the squad on Sunday after feeling a "twinge" in his groin on the eve of the game. “Disappointing for him and for us.”</li>
<li>“Tariq [Lamptey] is progressing but probably a little bit slower than we thought. He won’t be available for Arsenal and at this stage is very doubtful for Wolves.”</li>
<li>Adam Lallana is likely to miss out. “He had a problem with his groin. He felt a little bit of an injury. We are hoping it is not too bad, but it was a feeling that he had.” </li>
</ul>
Pending Evaluation
<ul>
<li>Aaron Connolly (groin) - Missed the draw at West Ham and the Irishman's status remains unclear.</li>
</ul>
Ruled Out 
<ul>
<li>Jose Izquierdo (thigh) - Sustained a muscle injury while building fitness with the under-23s. No timeline issued given the players' history.</li>
<li>Florin Andone (ACL) - Ruled out for the remainder of 2020.</li>
<li>Tariq Lamptey (hamstring) - Graham Potter reveals the wing-back will be out for the next few games.</li>
<li>Adam Lallana (groin) - Still being assessed but may not feature again over Christmas.</li>

<h3>Burnley</h3>
&nbsp;
Predicted lineup
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-30754 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/BURN-1.jpg" alt="" width="737" height="580" />
Press Conference
<ul>
<li>Sean Dyche is hopeful that Robbie Brady and Dwight McNeil can return to the fray on Tuesday. "With the two games in three days, we have had to make a judgement call on that. I think they both have a chance so we will wait and see what tomorrow brings."</li>
<li>Matej Vydra, Jack Cork and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are expected to miss out again. "I doubt any of them will figure," said Dyche.
<ul>
<li>"Vyds has got a nick on a muscle in his back, and I am surprised that it has taken a bit longer to settle than we hoped for."</li>
<li>"Corky is making very good progress, but we have to make sure he comes back fully fit because he has been out a while."</li>
<li>"Johann is just getting back to that freedom to go and play. He has had so many niggly injuries that we have deliberately made a decision with him to take him away from it."</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Pending Evaluation
<ul>
<li>Matej Vydra (back) - A decision will be made closer to kick-off.</li>
<li>Robbie Brady (hamstring) - Failed to recover ahead of GW15 and the winger will be given every chance to prove himself.</li>
<li>Dwight McNeil (groin) - With such a quick turnaround, the winger could once again miss out.</li>
</ul>
Ruled Out 
<ul>
<li>Jack Cork (ankle) - Building fitness with the under-23s may not return until the new year.</li>
<li>Johann Berg Gudmundsson (hamstring) - Assessed GW-to-GW but no risks will be taken given the players' recent injury history.</li>

<h3>Chelsea</h3>

Predicted lineup

Press Conference 
<ul>
<li>Frank Lampard confirms Callum Hudson-Odoi will line-up against Aston Villa. “Callum was fantastic with his energy (against Arsenal). That’s what we needed and why he will play in the next game. If Callum plays like that, then he can be a really serious player.”</li>
<li>The Blues boss reveals there will be "some changes" but Hakim Ziyech will not be one of those as he continues his recovery from injury. Jorginho is pushing to be involved.</li>
</ul>
Pending Evaluation
<ul>
<li>Reece James (knee) - Ongoing concern and the full-back may not be able to play games in quick succession.</li>
<li>Hakim Ziyech (hamstring) - The winger is lined-up for a potential return against Aston Villa.</li>

<h3>Crystal Palace</h3>

Predicted lineup

Press Conference
<ul>
<li>The Eagles could be without Gary Cahill after a hamstring injury kept him out of the Villa game. Otherwise, Roy Hodgson has no fresh injury concerns. "Not a lot of changes. Luckily enough, we do have some players who will be able to knock on my door and say, 'what about me?'. But wholesale changes, no. A lot of these players who played [on Saturday] are going to have to go again."</li>
<li>Palace are looking to bounce back from consecutive losses. "Results colour all judgement and the last two have been bad ones." </li>
</ul>
Pending Evaluation
<ul>
<li>Gary Cahill (hamstring) - The closest of those currently sidelined but Monday is expected to come too soon.</li>
<li></li>
</ul>
Ruled Out
<ul>
<li>Nathan Ferguson (thigh) - Setback after rejoining the group. Awaiting the results of his MRI.</li>
<li>Connor Wickham (Muscle) - Suffered a significant setback. Out long-term.</li>
<li>Wayne Hennessey (Undisclosed) - Injured playing for Wales. Out until January 2021 at the earliest.</li>
<li>Martin Kelly (calf) - No definitive timeline on the defenders return.</li>
<li>Mamadou Sakho (calf) - Remains on the sidelines after suffering a setback in training.</li>

Press Conference
<ul>
<li>Lucas Digne and Allan continue to work on individualised programmes. “There is no possibility to prepare the team [with such a quick turnaround]. We have to think about the players who can recover in two days. After that, we have to rotate some players." </li>
<li>The Toffees will be without Richarlison for the meeting with Man City as the Brazilian continues to follow concussion protocols. Bernard, Seamus Coleman and Andre Gomes are all pushing to be involved after making an impression from the bench at Bramall Lane.</li>
</ul>
Pending Evaluation 
<ul>
<li>James Rodriguez (calf) - Taking longer than initially anticipated, but shouldn't be too far away from a return.</li>
</ul>
Ruled Out
<ul>
<li>Jean-Philippe Gbamin (Achilles) - Final phase of his recovery. Ancelotti is hopeful of a return in early 2021.</li>
<li>Lucas Digne (ankle) - The club confirms the full-back could be sidelined for up to three months after surgery.</li>
<li>Fabian Delph (hamstring) - Currently sidelined with no timeline on a return.</li>
<li>Allan (hamstring) - Sustained a muscular strain in GW13. No timeframe at this moment, but will not feature over Christmas.</li>
<li>Richarlison (head) - Forced off in the Carabao Cup. Post-match tests confirm a concussion, ruling him out until January.</li>

Press Conference 
<ul>
<li>It doesn't sound like Marcelo Bielsa will be making wholesale changes at West Brom on Tuesday. “There are procedures to facilitate and to speed up the recovery of the players all the teams use. [They are] linked to hydrotherapy and kinesiology, nutrition and the rest.” </li>
<li>Bielsa confirms a setback for Diego Llorente which will keep him out of the game at West Brom.</li>
</ul>
Pending Evaluation
<ul>
<li>Liam Cooper (abdominal) - Failed a late fitness test (GW15) and his availability will be determined closer to kick-off.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Adam Forshaw (hip) - Bielsa reveals the midfielder will build fitness and confidence with the U23s before rejoining the first team.</li>
<li>Gaetano Berardi (ACL knee) - Long-term. Hopeful of a return in early 2021.</li>
<li>Robin Koch (knee surgery) - Initial timeline indicates a return to play around February or March 2021.</li>
<li>Diego Llorente (groin) - The Spaniard rejoined the group last Monday but suffered a setback. No timeline.</li>

Press Conference
<ul>
<li>Cengiz Ünder is likely to miss the game at Palace. “He had a slight hamstring in training [on Christmas Day] when he pulled up,” Brendan Rodgers revealed. "We’ve had a scan, and it’s all clear, but he’s feeling a bit of tightness, and it may be related to his back."</li>
<li>Brendan Rodgers admits he will "take a closer look" at Jamie Vardy and Tielemans ahead of Crystal Palace. "I don't want to risk injury, 48 hours between the games, especially with the season we've had and everything else. I'm not prepared to take a level of risk that means they're going to miss six weeks to two months out with an injury, so we'll look at it and we'll make changes."</li>
</ul>
Pending Evaluation
<ul>
<li>Cengiz Under (hamstring) - Complained of tightness while training on Christmas Day. May not be risked.</li>
<li>Caglar Soyuncu (groin) - Very close. Missed out on Boxing Day but should be ready for the trip to Crystal Palace.</li>
<li>Jamie Vardy (hip) - Managing an ongoing issue which means the striker struggles to play games in quick succession.</li>
</ul>
Ruled Out
<ul>
<li>Ricardo Pereira (groin) - Still "someway" from a return and likely to be out until early 2021.</li>
