Swansea
Renato Sanches is set to miss Swansea's Premier League home game against Huddersfield after picking up a thigh strain on international duty with Portugal.
Swansea will also make a late decision on Wilfried Bony who has been troubled by a nerve problem in his calf which has caused him to experience tightness in his hamstring.

Key match stats (supplied by Opta)
This is the first top-flight meeting between Swansea City and Huddersfield Town, with the two sides having met in each of the other top three tiers of English football. It will be the 92nd fixture in English league football to span the top four tiers, with Swansea having previously faced Watford and Wolves in all four divisions and Huddersfield facing Portsmouth in all four.
Huddersfield have won their last two away league games against Swansea, although this is the first match since November 2007 – they’ve never won three consecutive away matches in Swansea.
The Terriers have failed to score in nine of their last 14 matches in all competitions, including in each of the last three. They last went four competitive games without a goal back in August 2004.
Swansea have attempted the fewest shots in the Premier League this season (46) and have also registered just 30 shots in open play, a league-low.
Paul Clement's Swansea side have attempted the fewest shots in the Premier League with 46
Swansea have also fired in just 11 shots on target so far this season, the fewest in the Premier League. There have been three players land more shots on target in the top-flight this season than the Swans have managed (Harry Kane 16, Romelu Lukaku 15, Mohamed Salah 14).
The Swans have won just once in their last six Premier League games against newly-promoted sides, failing to score in four of those games (W1 D1 L4).
Since David Wagner took charge of his first game as Huddersfield boss in November 2015, no manager has lost more matches in the top four tiers of English football by four or more goals than the American (five, level with Mark Hughes).
Jordan Ayew has had a hand in more Premier League goals for Swansea in 2017 than any other player currently at the club (two goals, three assists). Prior to their departures, Gylfi Sigurdsson (12) and Fernando Llorente (10) led the Swans for goal involvements in 2017.
Only Southampton’s Nathan Redmond (23) has had more shots without scoring in the Premier League this season than Huddersfield’s Tom Ince (20).
David de Gea (6) is the only Premier League goalkeeper to have kept more clean sheets this season than Huddersfield’s Jonas Lossl (4) – level with Petr Cech, Hugo Lloris and Ederson.
