Brentford open the weekend against Fulham with key injuries looming. Coach Keith Andrews will miss squad updates until Friday, while Fulham’s Marco Silva will do the same. Out are Brentford’s Hickey and Fulham’s Kevin Reed, with doubts over Henderson and Tete. FPL‑wise, Igor Thiago’s 21‑goal tally keeps him one strike shy of Erling Haaland’s 22 as the top scorer race heats up.

Leeds host Wolves with Daniel Farke. Gabriel Gudmundsson returns from a knock, while Wolves’ Rob Edwards will issue news later. On the sidelines, Leeds’ James, Rodon and Stach miss the game; Wolves’ Mosquera is out. FPL highlights include Noah Okafor’s 15 points and Dominic Calvert‑Lewin’s five‑shot performance. Newcastle face Bournemouth with Bruno Guimaraes eyed for return after a hamstring lay‑off, while Joelinton serves a ban.

Spurs prepare to face Brighton after Cristian Romero’s knee injury. Lacking Bentancur, Davies and Kudus, Tottenham will rely on Mathys Tel’s dribbling prowess, while Brighton’s Jack Hinshelwood leads the midfield in expected goal involvement. Chelsea set to test Manchester United, with Enzo Fernandez returning from a club ban and Trevoh Chalobah training after injury. The weekend’s fixtures underscore the fine margins in a title‑chasing league.
