Tottenham Team News

Dele Alli is suspended for the welcome of Manchester United, and it could be that Jose Mourinho's uses a 4-3-3 setup on Friday night.

The Spurs boss is without youth academy products Troy Parrott and Japhet Tanganga, while Son Heung-Min and Giovani Lo Celso are doubts.

Mourinho will hope the pair will be fit to feature in some capacity on Friday, with Steven Bergwijn and Tanguy Ndombele in line to feature.

Man Utd Team News

Phil Jones is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's only injury concern for Friday's trip to Tottenham.

The Manchester United boss has two key returnees in Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba available for selection.

Rashford is set to return to the starting XI here, but Pogba, who hasn't featured since Boxing Day, is tipped to start from the bench, with Fred expected to feature alongside Nemanja Matic or Scott McTominay in midfield.

Messi, Suarez and Griezmann could start together.

Jordi Alba returns after suspension for the away side and should immediately come back in at left-back.

Samuel Umtiti is suspended for the visitors, meaning that Clement Lenglet and Gerard Pique will start at centre-back.

Frenkie De Jong has a calf injury, which should see Arthur and Arturo Vidal link up with Sergio Busquets in midfield.

Skorupski; Danilo, Denswil, Borini; Tomiyasu, Poli, Medel, Barrow; Orsolini, Palacio, Soriano

Higuain and Dybala could both start alongside Ronaldo as part of a front three.

Rabiot was set to miss out against Inter Milan last weekend with a heel problem, but the midfielder has recovered from the issue and should be involved on Sunday.

Khedira and Chiellini are both back from long-term injuries, but it seems likely that both will be on the bench this weekend with Sarri cautious over the pair.

Whoscored Prediction

Bologna 0-2 Juventus

Everton vs Liverpool

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/06/21 18:00

Probable Lineups

Liverpool Team News

Salah missed training in midweek but there has yet been any word from Liverpool if he is a big concern for Sunday's Merseyside derby.

With the Premier League title a question of when rather than if, no risks need to be taken with Salah's fitness.

Andrew Robertson has also endured a slight problem in recent weeks but is expected to be fine to play at Goodison Park.

Everton Team News

Gbamin suffered a fresh long-term injury during lockdown and is ruled out, alongside Theo Walcott.

Andre Gomes is fit to play but Carlo Ancelotti has revealed both Fabian Delph and Yerry Mina are touch-and-go.

Whoscored Prediction

Everton 0-1 Liverpool

Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/06/21 20:00

Probable Lineups

Real Madrid Team News

Isco is sidelined with a hamstring injury for the away side, meaning Luka Modric could play in a more expansive midfield role.

Federico Valverde should start in midfield too, ensuring that Real Madrid have enough energy and legs in their engine room.

Marcelo should start at left-back after Ferland Mendy rotated in for some minutes midweek.

Whoscored Prediction

Real Sociedad 1-2 Real Madrid

Aston Villa vs Chelsea

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/06/21 15:15

Probable Lineups

Chelsea Team News

While he won't be able to train with his new teammates until next month or feature until the next season, Chelsea have been boosted by the imminent arrival of Timo Werner, along with that of Hakim Ziyech.

Jorginho is carrying over a suspension from pre-lockdown and will miss out, while youngsters Callum Hudson-Odoi and Reece James are doubts.

Elsewhere, however, the likes of N'Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic, Mateo Kovacic and former Villan Tammy Abraham are all back available.

Whoscored Prediction

Villa 0-2 Chelsea

Brighton vs Arsenal

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/06/20 14:00

Probable Lineups

Arsenal Team News

Arsenal's first game back was a disaster. They lost both Granit Xhaka and Pablo Mari to serious-looking injuries, while David Luiz was sent off - though arguably not a loss.

Mesut Ozil was dropped from the squad completely against Manchester City, while Sokratis missed out through injury. Mikel Arteta will hope to have the latter back.

Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe will hope to earn recalls to the starting XI after missing out against City.

Kieran Tierney often looked close to injury on Wednesday and may rotate out of the side here given the quick turnaround between matches.

Whoscored Prediction

Brighton 2-1 Arsenal

Bayern vs Freiburg 

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/06/20 13:30 

Probable Lineups

Bayern Team News

With the title in the bag (again), head coach Hansi Flick may rest a few players. Though, hunting Gerd Müller's all-time Bundesliga scoring record of 40 goals almost 50 years ago, 31-goal Robert Lewandowski will want to play every minute.

Muller also returned from suspension in midweek, but Alphonso Davies is on the naughty step after his red card in Bremen.

Gnabry is over a back twinge, while Lucas Hernández, who continues to have problems with his adductors, may step in for Davies.

Thiago is ruled out after undergoing groin surgery and has the DFB-Pokal final in his sights for a return.

Coutinho and Tolisso have both had ankle operations and are ruled out. The Brazilian is the likeliest to return before the season is done and dusted.

Teenage striker Jann-Fiete Arp has recovered from an arm injury but will play for the reserves in the third division, while Niklas Süle is back in light training again after suffering an ACL tear and remains hopeful of playing again this season.

Whoscored Prediction

Bayern 4-1 Freiburg 

RB Leipzig vs Dortmund

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/06/20 13:30

Probable Lineups

Dortmund Team News

Haaland was below-par in midweek, in his worst display in a Dortmund shirt.

Marco Reus is back training, but will not be rushed back.

Thomas Delaney could miss the rest of the campaign with a muscle injury.

Manuel Akanji is struggling with a calf injury, so Emre Can may move into defence, alongside Mats Hummels.

Mahmoud Dahoud is out for the season after picking up a knee injury in the season defining defeat to Bayern Munich.

Nico Schulz continues to be troubled by a muscle injury, while Dan-Axel Zagadou has already been ruled out for the rest of the campaign.

Leipzig Team News

26-goal Timo Werner is hunting Robert Lewandowski at the top of the Bundesliga scoring charts. Werner will join Chelsea at the end of the season.

Sabitzer has overcome a calf injury.

Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Halstenberg are both available after suspension, while Chelsea loanee Ethan Ampadu is struggling with a back injury.

Ibrahima Konate is over a hip injury, while Swede Emil Forsberg has recovered from a bout of tonsillitis.

Denmark striker Yussuf Poulsen is ruled out with an ankle injury. Patrik Schick should continue in attack.

Inter vs Sampdoria

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/06/21 19:45

Probable Lineups

Inter are expected to confirm the same 3-4-1-2 formation that started against Napoli last weekend, although Lautaro Martinez is in contention with Alexis Sanchez upfront after his bad performance against the Partenopei.

Whoscored Prediction

Inter 2-0 Sampdoria

Atletico Madrid vs Real Valladolid

Kick-Off: UTC 2020/06/20 20:00

Probable Lineups

Atletico Team News

Felipe is sidelined with an injury until the end of the month, meaning that Stefan Savic and Jose Gimenez have little competition at centre-back.

Santiago Arias and Kieran Trippier will battle it out to start at right-back for the home side.

Alvaro Morata is expected to lead the line ahead of Diego Costa, while the in-form Marcos Llorente should start rather than affect the game from the bench.

Atletico Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
