Premier League news LIVE: Erling Haaland latest and injury updates from today’s press conferences

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou spoke about the issues facing his squad at present but admits that absences create opportunities for other players.

“The back four is the major issue for us at the moment.” he said, “We’re really low on depth there, midfield as well. That’s just the period we’re going through at the moment.

“We’ve got a lot of absences, our numbers are down, but it’s also a time when other guys get an opportunity.

“In this early phase, it’s about trying to expose as many people as we can to see how we cope playing our football under stress when there are changes and against different types of opposition.”

Manchester United’s main goalkeeper will be fit to face Everton this weekend despite suffering a groin injury on international duty for Cameroon.

Luke Shaw returned to training for the first time in three months on Wednesday ane is going to be included in the squad that will travel to Goodison Park.

Striker Rasmus Hojlund and midfielder Christian Eriksen are also doubts after picking up injuries in the 1-0 win over Luton before the international break but will be assessed before the match.

United remain without Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Jonny Evans and Tyrell Malacia.

Tottenham manager, Ange Postecoglou, gave an update on his squad’s injury problems and says that Pape Sarr will be assessed before this weekend’s game.

He said: “Micky (Van de Ven) and Madders have no real update, the same as a few weeks back.

“We had a couple of issues out of the international break. Ash Phillips picked up an ankle injury with the England team, he’s out for a little while. We’re still assessing it but it’s at least probably a month.

“We’re just checking on Pape Sarr who has got a bit of an issue coming back from the national team. He didn’t train today, we’ll see how he is tomorrow.

“Aside from that, (Yves) Bissouma is suspended but we’ll get Destiny (Udogie) back. Everyone else is ok.”

Pep Guardiola takes on Jurgen Klopp in the first match of the Premier League’s return as Manchester City host Liverpool in tomorrow’s early kick off.

The two bosses have faced each other more than they’ve faced any other manager in their careers.

Klopp’s 11 wins is the most any manager has managed against Guardiola.

Guardiola’s 10 victories against the German is the most any manager has recorded against Klopp.

Wolves have injury concerns ahead of their journey down to London to face Fulham but Gary O’Neill largely has fully-fit squad to select from.

Craig Dawson is ruled out through suspension after he collected his fifth yellow card of the season in the last-gasp win over Tottenham while Joseph Hodge (shoulder) remains sidelined alongside Nathan Fraser (quad).

Matt Doherty and Mario Lemina are could feature.

Former Liverpool midfielder Jan Molby believes the performance of Alexis Mac Allister could be crucial in the top-of-the-table clash with Manchester City.

While the two teams are generally well-matched in most positions, the hosts boast Rodri, who is regarded as the world’s best in the holding role, while Jurgen Klopp has had to field Mac Allister as a makeshift number six.

It is an unfamiliar position for the Argentina World Cup winner, who is more effective in a slightly more advanced role, but he has been asked to do a job as Liverpool’s all-new midfield still takes shape after a summer overhaul.

The Premier League match between Brentford and Arsenal on Saturday 25 November will be the Spaniard’s 200th in charge of the north London club.

Eddie Howe has insisted the decision not to introduce a ban which could have prevented Newcastle from loaning players from Saudi clubs is no great advantage to them.

Newcastle are 80 per cent owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which also has controlling stakes in four Saudi Pro League clubs including Neves’ employers, and the decision means in theory that they could sign loan deals to bolster their squad in the midst of an injury crisis.

After a tough start to the season, Burnley’s next two fixtures are matches against West Ham and Sheffield United, which bey any metric, are games the Clarets boss Vincent Kompany will have targeted to win.

He was asked if that gives his team extra desperation to start picking up points to which replied: “I hope that being desperate to win is something you always have.

“I don’t feel you can ever go into a game not being fully committed to winning. I’d like to think that is something that really lives in this club.

“The league has been tough for us. It’s just not been easy, whether we’ve played well or had games against teams that are stronger than us. It’s always been a case of adapting to this level.

“I’ve seen signs in the team where I’d like to think the team is really looking forward to games ahead.”

“Two years ago we had a really tough start to the campaign there,” sai Mikel Arteta when previewing Arsenal’s match against Brentford tomorrow.

“We have learnt from that, they are a really tough opponent and it’s a really difficult place to go to. They make it extremely difficult, they are really effective, they are well coached and it will be a tough match.

“With Thomas (Frank), the coaching staff and the club, they are one of the best run clubs in the league.

“I’ve followed them for many years and the things they do with their structure and process alongside their vision is incredible to achieve what they have so credit to them.

“They have achieved to get to this level and have maintained it with so many demands as well.”
