Before I get going....

England will discover their Fifa World Cup 2022 opponents in Friday's draw.

Everything you need to know about Friday's draw is right here for you.

Watford

Watford manager Roy Hodgson could welcome defender Nicolas Nkoulou back into his squad for the trip to Liverpool with the 32-year-old back in contention after recovering from a long-term hamstring injury.

Nkoulou featured recently in an under-23 fixture for the Hornets.

Watford have no new injury concerns but have not fully assessed all their returning international players.

Leicester City

Now then, we head briefly back to Leicester, where Brendan Rodgers says he doesn’t understand why fans booed former Foxes defender Harry Maguire in England’s 3-0 win over Ivory Coast at Wembley on Tuesday.

"My question would be what help does it do? By nature of the word supporter, you are there to support," Rodgers said.

"He has the focus on him at a big club. Internationally, Harry has been a great player for England over these past three or four seasons.

"Maybe it's just the modern world, patience is short now. It doesn’t do a player any good. You support through the good and the bad."

During the meeting of Premier League clubs it was also confirmed that the next transfer window will open on 10 June and will close at 23:00 BST on 1 September in line with other European leagues.

The Premier League has voted to reintroduce five substitutes.

In a statement the Premier League said that "clubs agreed to change the rules relating to substitute players.

"From next season, clubs will be permitted to use five substitutions, to be made on three occasions during a match, with an additional opportunity at half-time.

"A total of nine substitutes can be named on the team sheet."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Argentina international Alexis Mac Allister is expected to be fit for Brighton on Saturday despite being hurt in a challenge during his country's World Cup qualifier against Ecuador on Tuesday.

Speaking about the midfielder, Seagulls boss Graham Potter said: "I haven't had a full medical update but I think no problems.

"It didn't look the best but I think he came off quite quickly after that. "There's been nothing severely flagged to me so it's just a case of it being a knock. He's quite durable, Alexis."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton defender Adam Webster has endured a frustrating season due to a number of injury problems and is currently sidelined with a groin issue.

Former England midfielder Adam Lallana suffered a recurrence of a hamstring issue on his return to action against Liverpool on 12 March.

"Adam Webster had a small setback before the international break, so he is still unavailable for the weekend," said Brighton manager Graham Potter.

"Adam Lallana has been training but not fully. We think he'll be more fully training next week so, again, he'll miss the game."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Here’s a bit of team news from Brighton manager Graham Potter.

The Seagulls will again be without Adam Webster and Adam Lallana as they return to Premier League action against Norwich on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Moises Caicedo has remained in Ecuador after international duty due to illness.

Leicester City

More from Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers who says there is "lots of optimism" following the international break.

"We won five of our seven games before the break, with some of our influential players coming back.

"This week we could train, get some detailed work into those who stayed, and bring new guys into training."

On Manchester United: "They have absolutely top class players who can change the course of a game. Our record has been good against them, but it counts for nothing.

"You need to be really focused in the game, and then hope your quality can come through."

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers begins by giving an update on team news...

Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi will be out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Jonny Evans is fit to face former club Manchester United on Saturday but is unlikely to play a full match after featuring on international duty with Northern Ireland.

Rodgers also says that left-back Luke Thomas is a doubt for the weekend after picking up an injury with England while on under-21s duty while Jamie Vardy is likely to be unavailable for “at least a few weeks."

Time to nip off to the Midlands to hear what Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has to say.

The Foxes have won three of their last four Premier League matches and looked pretty good in the first half of their win over Brentford before the international break.

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says bringing in a five substitute rule would be good for the Premier League: "There will be some changes because that gives you other opportunities and the game will have some changes tactically, the most important thing is it helps you manage the load of the players.

"It is good because it gives players the opportunity to be on the pitch which is what they want to do."

Arsenal

More from Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta: "I will have them all today so just try to refocus them. When they go to international duties all the time they’re asked do different things and have different roles and a different kind of pressure.

"So now we have to make sure that everybody is fine and looking for the challenge we have ahead."

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is asked about club legend and current Crystal Palace manager being recently been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.

He says: "It is a huge achievement. You have to be very special to be nominated to be there and I think Patrick [Vieira] deserves it for what he brought to England and for what he did for Arsenal."

Arsenal

Now it is time to hear from the Arsenal camp and more specifically from Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, who gives an update on Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale.

Forward Saka, withdrew from the England squad with Covid during the international break while goalkeeper Ramsdale missed out with a hip injury.

"Bukayo [Saka] is feeling good and Aaron [Ramsdale], it’s a doubt," Arteta said.

"He is still feeling not great and hasn't trained yet so we don't know what he'll be able to do on Monday.

On Takehiro Tomiyasu, Arteta adds: "He had a recurring injury but in the other calf which was strange and difficult to predict. He’s been through a lot in the last two years with the amount of games he’s played."

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira says Wilfried Zaha and Michael Olise will be assessed over the coming days before a decision is made over their availability to face Arsenal.

Zaha was unable to play for Ivory Coast against England at Wembley on Tuesday due to a hamstring problem, while Olise missed France under-21s’ second fixture during the break with a foot issue.

“[Zaha] is still in the medical room,” Vieira said.

“We will see how it is going to be tomorrow, but we have to wait for the next couple of days before thinking about him starting training with the squad.

"We have until Monday so hopefully he will get better, and he can have a couple of days of training with the team. We don’t know. The good thing about Wilfried is that he does not get injured very often. That is the hope about that.

“Olise just had an issue with his foot. He is not ready to do some work outside. Both of them still have a chance [of playing against Arsenal].”

Leeds United

More from Leeds boss Jesse Marsch, who is asked how many points his team need to secure their Premier League status: "I always heard it was a point a game because when I was with the US national team almost every American we had in the Premier League was shooting for a point a game because they were always fighting relegation..

"But I don't have a target. The focus on the daily work, trying to prepare and to grow as a group."

Leeds United

Was Jesse Marsch listening to Ralph Hasenhuttl's news conference earlier?

The Southampton boss spoke positively of the American and now it is Marsch's turn to talk up the Austrian.

"In 2016-17 in the winter Ralph was kind enough to allow me to join his staff for six or seven weeks," said the Leeds boss.

"He is an incredible human being. That is the first thing that needs to be said.

"He is a really good person that cares about the environments he creates. Then he is a sharp, intelligent manager. He believes in a lot of the same principles as me. I learned a lot from that time I spent with him. It may help me prepare now, but i look back on it as helpful and special time."

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch is asked to give his thoughts on being able to use five substitutes.

Five substitutes were introduced across the game in May 2020 after the shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

However, controversially, the Premier League became the only major competition to ditch the rule for the compressed 2020-21 season because some objected that it gave the clubs with bigger squads an unfair advantage.

The American says he would be in "favour of it" in the Premier League.

"It makes games faster and more intensive and gives more playing time for the players. I came from a situation where two years I was working with five subs. Back to three makes me feel handcuffed.

"Better teams have better rosters, but they also have a better starting elevens. I like, with the way we play, being able to use more fresh players."
