Aston Villa manager Unai Emery will provide a squad fitness update later on Friday.

Boubacar Kamara and Matty Cash are available after serving one-match bans.

Ola Aina is available for Nottingham Forest for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury while playing for Nigeria in early September.

Winger Dan Ndoye has a minor calf injury, with head coach Sean Dyche saying: "It will be touch and go for him this weekend but hopefully he will return after that."

Players out: Aston Villa - Barkley, Guessand, Mings, Torres Nottingham Forest - Boly, Sangare, Wood, Yates

Doubts: Aston Villa - Onana Nottingham Forest - Ndoye

Key FPL notes:

  • Morgan Rogers' (£7.5m) 35 shots and 19 chances created are both among Aston Villa's top two player this season.
  • Villa's Ollie Watkins (£8.5m) has blanked just once in his last six matches, a period which has seen him produce five goals, two assists and 42 points.
  • Igor Jesus (£5.8m) of Nottingham Forest has registered 36 shots in the box in 2025-26, a total that only Erling Haaland (£15.1m) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.6m) can better.

Brighton & Hove Albion v Burnley (15:00 GMT)

Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh is expected to be available despite limping off with a dead leg against West Ham in midweek.

Mats Wieffer remains absent because of a toe issue.

Burnley team news will appear here later on Friday.

Captain Josh Cullen will miss the remainder of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Players out: Brighton - Baleba, March, Tzimas, Webster, Wieffer Burnley - Amdouni, Beyer, Cullen, Foster, Mejbri, Roberts, Tuanzebe

Key FPL notes:

  • Brighton player Ferdi Kadioglu's (£4.4m) set-piece ability could cause major problems for Burnley in gameweek 20. The Clarets rank among the worst four sides for conceding shots from dead-ball situations this season.
  • Lewis Dunk (£4.5m) could also profit from that weakness. The centre-back has the joint-most headed attempts (five) of all Brighton players this season.
  • Not content with an assist, Armando Broja (£5.2m) of Burnley became only the second forward to secure defensive contribution points in gameweek 19.

Wolves v West Ham United (15:00 GMT)

Wolves midfielder Andre is available after serving a one-match suspension.

Head coach Rob Edwards will provide a squad fitness update later on Friday.

West Ham will assess the fitness of French centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo, who suffered a groin injury early in the second half of Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Brighton.

On-loan defender Igor Julio is available again after being ineligible to face his parent club in midweek.

Players out: Wolves - Agbadou, Andre, Bellegarde, Chirewa, Chiwome, Munetsi, Rodrigo Gomes, Toti West Ham - Diouf, Fabianski, Fullkrug, Wan-Bissaka

Doubts: West Ham - Todibo

Key FPL notes:

  • Wolves' Ladislav Krejci (£4.5m) produced his third attacking return of the season in gameweek 19, earning eight points at Old Trafford.
  • Jarrod Bowen's (£7.6m) last six appearances for West Ham have harvested three goals, one assist and 32 points.
  • Lucas Paqueta's (£5.9m) 23 chances created and six big chances created are both team-leading totals for West Ham.

Bournemouth v Arsenal (17:30 GMT)

Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola is hopeful that Lewis Cook could be fit to face Arsenal after missing the draw against Chelsea because of a neck issue.

Ryan Christie remains sidelined with a persistent knee problem.

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice missed Tuesday's 4-1 victory over Aston Villa with inflammation in his knee but he will train on Friday before a decision is made on his availability.

Defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera remain out.

Players out: Bournemouth- Adams, Christie, Gannon-Doak, Milosavljevic Arsenal - Calafiori, Dowman,Mosquera

Doubts: Bournemouth - Cook

Key FPL notes:

  • David Brooks (£5.0m) of Bournemouth has been presented with eight Opta-defined 'big chances' in the last four gameweeks, the most of any player.
  • Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.4m) marked his first start since returning from injury with a 15-point haul against Villa. The Brazilian has blanked in only four of his 13 appearances this season.
  • Martin Odegaard's (£7.8m) 20 chances created over the last six gameweeks is more than any other player in Fantasy.

Sunday

Leeds United v Manchester United (12:30 GMT)

Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu must serve a one-match ban on Sunday for accumulating five bookings this season.

Sebastian Bornauw and Ilia Gruev both came off with cramp against Liverpool on Thursday night and should be fit to face Manchester United.

Players out: Leeds - Ampadu, James, Longstaff, Rodon Manchester United - Amad, De Ligt, Fernandes, Maguire, Mainoo, Mazraoui, Mbeumo, Mount

  • Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.9m) of Leeds has returned in each of his last three matches at Elland Road, combining four goals with six bonus to total 28 points.
  • Anton Stach (£4.9m) has an eye-catching three goals and five assists from 16 starts in 2025-26. He is Leeds' leader for chances created (33) and successful crosses (24) across the campaign.
  • Matheus Cunha (£8.2m) has produced an attacking return in each of his last two away appearances for Man Utd, amassing 14 points.
