The Premier League returns this weekend after an extended hiatus, with Arsenal aiming to strengthen its position at the summit.

It's been a three-week gap since the previous round of fixtures, with the international break followed by FA Cup action providing teams an opportunity to regroup. Roberto De Zerbi is set to oversee his maiden Tottenham match this weekend, while Arsenal welcomes Bournemouth in Saturday's early encounter.

Proceedings kicked off with a survival battle between West Ham and Wolves on Friday, which the Hammers won, while Chelsea's meeting with Manchester City stands out as another fixture of note on Sunday. Here, Liverpool.com guides you through the squad updates for all 20 Premier League clubs, spotlighting the crucial injury concerns that may influence proceedings.

Bournemouth: The Cherries travel to league-topping Arsenal on Saturday and will be minus Lewis Cook and Justin Kluivert, though they've been handed a lift with Ben Gannon-Doak, Tyler Adams, Junior Kroupi and Alex Jimenez all back to full fitness.

Arsenal: Mikel Arteta played things tight in his pre-match briefing, though he did confirm Eberechi Eze's comeback from a calf problem. Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapie and Martin Odegaard were all missing from Thursday's training ground activities, with Arteta offering only: "Yeah there have been changes there since yesterday." Mikel Merino continues as a long-term casualty.

Aston Villa: Villa travels to Nottingham Forest and will probably be without Jadon Sancho, who is two weeks into a three-week rehabilitation period following a shoulder injury. Boubacar Kamara is sidelined for the remainder of the campaign, though Alysson has returned to training with the squad.

Brentford: Rico Henry and Vitaly Janelt are both ruled out for the fixture against Everton, while Aaron Hickey is also a significant doubt. Joshua Dasilva, Antoni Milambo and Fabio Carvalho are long-term absentees for the Bees.

Brighton: Brighton skipper Lewis Dunk is suspended after accumulating 10 yellow cards, though Jack Hinshelwood has recovered from the problem that forced him to pull out of England U21 duty. Adam Webster and Stefanos Tzimas remain on the sidelines for the foreseeable future.

Burnley: Numerous concerns for Scott Parker ahead of their match against Brighton. Jordan Beyer, Josh Laurent, Mike Tresor, Hannibal Mejbri, Connor Roberts, Zeki Amdouni and Josh Cullen have all been ruled out. Axel Tuanzebe will undergo a late fitness assessment after being away on international duty with DR Congo, celebrating the country's World Cup qualification.

Chelsea: Liam Rosenior confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Enzo Fernandez won't play as a punishment for his comments during the international break. Reece James is battling to regain fitness but won't feature against Manchester City. Levi Colwill, Jamie Gittens, Trevoh Chalobah, Filip Jorgensen and Mykhailo Mudryk are all ruled out.

Crystal Palace: Evann Guessand is a concern after sustaining a knock in Palace's previous fixture, Cheick Doucoure is unavailable this weekend and Eddie Nketiah has been sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.

Everton: Jack Grealish remains absent following surgery, while Carlos Alcaraz isn't prepared to feature. Illiman Ndiaye has been cleared for selection by David Moyes.

Fulham: Kenny Tete, Harrison Reed and Kevin are all unavailable for Fulham's journey to Anfield on Saturday.

Leeds: Anton Stach, Joe Rodon and Dan James have all been ruled out of Monday's fixture against Manchester United by Daniel Farke, while Noah Okafor, Jaka Bijol and Gabriel Gudmundsson are doubts owing to knocks.

Liverpool: Alisson is not prepared to return between the posts, meaning Giorgi Mamardashvili will continue in his place. Giovanni Leoni, Wataru Endo and Conor Bradley are the only other absent players, with Alexander Isak now back to fitness and having come off the bench in the 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.

Manchester City: Pep Guardiola reports that both Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias are making encouraging progress on their comebacks from injury, but aren't ready yet. Nevertheless, John Stones is nearer and has returned to partial training.

Manchester United: Harry Maguire is suspended following his dismissal in the 2-2 draw at Bournemouth. Patrick Dorgu has returned to individual training but isn't ready to face Leeds. Matthijs de Ligt remains absent. United has spent this week in Ireland on a four-day training camp, with Lisandro Martinez, Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo all in attendance.

Newcastle: Bruno Guimaraes is under the weather and will miss the weekend trip to Crystal Palace. He is joined on the injury list by defenders Sven Botman, Fabian Schar and Emil Krafth. However, Lewis Miley has returned to training and will be in the frame for selection.

Nottingham Forest: Forest will be without Jair Cunha, Willy Boly, Nicolo Savona and John Victor for its clash with Villa on Sunday.

Sunderland: Jocelin Ta Bi, Romaine Mundle, Bertrand Traore and Simon Moore are all ruled out for the Black Cats' fixture against Tottenham on Sunday, while Dan Ballard and Nilson Angulo are not quite ready to feature. First-choice goalkeeper Robin Roefs could make a welcome return after a spell on the sidelines.

Tottenham: Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario remains unavailable following his hernia surgery, meaning Antonin Kinsky will make his first start since being substituted by Igor Tudor in the match against Atletico Madrid. Mathys Tel is considered a doubt. Mohammed Kudus has suffered a setback in his recovery and is ruled out alongside Yves Bissouma, Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Wilson Odobert.

West Ham: Jean-Clair Todibo and Callum Wilson were named among the substitutes on Friday following injury concerns. Aaron Wan-Bissaka was also on the bench, having returned late from international duty, while Crysencio Summerville recovered sufficiently to earn a starting berth.

Wolves: Matt Doherty was ruled out of the clash against West Ham through a knock, with Sam Johnstone also sidelined due to a shoulder injury.
