Premier League team news: Updates on injuries and suspensions

Get all the latest team news and information for the next round of Premier League action.

SATURDAY'S GAMES

PREDICTION: A 2-1 win for Spurs
FANTASY PICK: Harry Kane
KEY STAT: Everton have failed to score in three of their last four Premier League games with Spurs.

- TOTTENHAM

New Tottenham signing Son Heung-min may have to wait for his debut following his arrival from Bayer Leverkusen. The 23-year-old's move to White Hart Lane is subject to international clearance and obtaining a work permit. Playmaker Christian Eriksen remains sidelined with a knee injury, but Andros Townsend could be available after returning to training. Clinton N'Jie, the summer arrival from Lyon, is yet to make his debut and remains a doubt.

Provisional squad: Lloris, Alderweireld, Davies, Vertonghen, Walker, Chadli, Mason, Dier, Dembele, Kane, Vorm, Bentaleb, Rose, Alli, Trippier, Carroll, Lamela, N'Jie, Townsend, Son.

- EVERTON

John Stones will remain at the heart of Everton's defence despite seeing a transfer request rejected this week. The 21-year-old England international has been told by his club that he will not be sold to Chelsea during this transfer window and boss Roberto Martinez is confident he is in the right frame of mind to feature at White Hart Lane. Bryan Oviedo may slot in at left-back again as Brendan Galloway (knee) remains a doubt and Leighton Baines (ankle) is out injured along with Steven Pienaar (hamstring), Tony Hibbert (knee) and Darron Gibson (foot).

Provisional squad: Howard, Robles, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman, Browning, Galloway, Oviedo, Cleverley, McCarthy, Barry, Osman, Besic, Barkley, Mirallas, Naismith, Deulofeu, McGeady, Kone, Lukaku.

SUNDAY'S GAMES

PREDICTION: A 3-2 win for Southampton
FANTASY PICK: Graziano Pelle
KEY STAT: Southampton have lost just one of their last nine meetings with Norwich City in all competitions (W3 D5 L1).

- SOUTHAMPTON

Ronald Koeman is hoping to have both Victor Wanyama and Sadio Mane fit. The pair were missing from Thursday night's Europa League play-off defeat against FC Midtjylland in Denmark. Wanyama did not fly due to a stomach infection while Mane (hip) was an unused substitute. Ryan Bertrand (knee) and Jordie Clasie (hamstring) remain unavailable, as does long-term absentee Fraser Forster (knee).

Provisional squad: Stekelenburg, K Davis, Soares, Yoshida, Fonte, Caulker, Targett, Martina, Wanyama, S Davis, Romeu, Reed, Ward-Prowse, Tadic, Juanmi, Mane, Long, Rodriguez, Pelle.

- NORWICH CITY

Norwich visit Southampton on Sunday without the suspended Lewis Grabban. Grabban is eager to force through a return to Bournemouth and has been disciplined after walking out prior to the midweek Capital One Cup win over Rotherham. Martin Olsson (shoulder) is being tested in the Under-21 side before being deemed ready for first-team duty and Kyle Lafferty (knee) is back in training. Boss Alex Neil made a handful of changes against Rotherham but should revert to his league regulars.

Provisional squad: Ruddy, Rudd, Whittaker, Wisdom, Bassong, Martin, R Bennett, Brady, Tettey, Dorrans, O'Neil, Johnson, Howson, Hoolahan, Redmond, Jerome, Hooper, Van Wolfswinkel.

PREDICTION: A 0-0 draw
FANTASY PICK: Jonjo Shelvey
KEY STAT: Swansea City won both Premier League meetings with Man Utd last season, ending a run of eight league games without a win over them (D2 L6).

- SWANSEA

Ki Sung-yueng is available. The South Korean midfielder suffered a hamstring injury in the opening game of the season at Chelsea but came through the Capital One Cup victory over York in midweek unscathed. Ki, who scored home and away when Swansea completed a league double over United last season, could get the nod over Jack Cork while manager Garry Monk has the luxury of a full-strength squad to select from.

Provisional squad: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Ki, Cork, Shelvey, Montero, Ayew, Sigurdsson, Gomis, Nordfeldt, Rangel, Bartley, Amat, Tabanou, Fulton, Britton, Routledge, Emnes, Dyer, Eder, Grimes.

- MANCHESTER UNITED

Playmaker Adnan Januzaj has been ruled out of Manchester United's game at Swansea on Sunday because of a problem in his hip area. Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini are the main contenders to replace the Belgian, who suffered the injury in the first half of United's 4-0 win over Club Brugge. Defender Phil Jones (mild thrombosis) is out and goalkeeper David de Gea is still unavailable because he cannot focus properly due to Real Madrid's interest in him, according to manager Louis van Gaal.

Provisional squad: Lindegaard, Romero, Johnstone, Smalling, Shaw, Valencia, McNair, Rojo, Darmian, Blackett; Mata, Carrick, Blind, Young, Herrera, Schneiderlin, Fellaini, Schweinsteiger, Lingard, Pereira, Depay, Rooney, Hernandez, Wilson.
