Manchester City
Manchester City heads into Gameweek 19 with uncertainty surrounding the availability of key players. Erling Haaland, who had been seen training in Saudi Arabia, is still questionable for the upcoming match due to a foot issue. Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku, both absent from the FIFA World Club Cup, remain doubtful as well. While De Bruyne was seen back in training earlier, the extent of his hamstring injury may delay his return to the pitch.
Notably, neither Haaland nor Doku participated in the final team training session before the recent victory over Fluminense. Rodri, who suffered an injury in the World Club Cup final, is considered a possible concern, but he expressed confidence in his fitness. Pep Guardiola’s press conferences in the Middle East lacked detailed team news, adding an element of uncertainty to the status of these players as Manchester City approaches the next fixture.
Predicted XI: Ederson, Walker, Rúben Dias, Aké, Gvardiol, Rodri, Stones, Bernardo Silva, Foden, Grealish, Álvarez.
Manchester United
In Gameweek 19, Manchester United will see the return of Diogo Dalot from suspension, providing a boost to the defensive options. Raphael Varane, who was unavailable due to illness, and Amad Diallo, recovering from a knee issue and working on match fitness, could potentially be back in action.
Unfortunately, Anthony Martial is likely to miss the upcoming match due to illness. On the unavailable list are Harry Maguire, who is dealing with a groin issue, Jadon Sancho, facing disciplinary matters, Casemiro with an ankle problem, Tyrell Malacia nursing a knee injury, Lisandro Martinez recovering from a foot issue, Mason Mount with a calf concern, and Victor Lindelof dealing with a groin problem.

Several key players remain unavailable for Sheffield United, including Chris Basham (leg), Tom Davies (thigh), John Egan (leg), and Daniel Jebbison (illness). However, there is positive news as Rhian Brewster, recovering from a knee injury, and Rhys Norrington-Davies, who had a hamstring concern, have returned to training. Notably, Norrington-Davies played 45 minutes for the under-21s last week, indicating progress in his recovery. The availability of these players will impact the manager’s decisions for the upcoming fixture.
Predicted XI: Foderingham, Baldock, Robinson, Trusty, Lowe, Hamer, Vinicius Souza, Brooks, Ben Slimane, Archer, McAtee.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, is expected to hold a press conference after the Boxing Day deadline for Gameweek 19, following the team’s Thursday match.

Michail Antonio, who was on the injury list in Gameweek 18 due to a hamstring issue, has resumed running, indicating progress in his recovery. Moyes may provide further details on Antonio’s fitness and potential involvement in the upcoming fixture. These updates will play a crucial role in determining West Ham United’s squad for the next match.
Predicted XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson, Álvarez, Ward-Prowse, Kudus, Soucek, Lucas Paquetá, Bowen.
Wolves
Wolverhampton Wanderers’ forward Pedro Neto, who was not included in the squad for the win over Chelsea on Christmas Eve due to a hamstring issue, is expected to return soon. Neto has been training in the past week, suggesting that his involvement in the Wolves squad is imminent.
