- Unai Emery said Emi Martínez missed the Bologna match with a small muscle issue and hopes the goalkeeper can train in time to be available against Fulham on Sunday.
- Newcastle have only three goals in five Premier League games, with local analysis noting Nick Woltemade’s preference to drop deep rather than play as an orthodox No 9.
- Eddie Howe is expected to make changes for Arsenal, with Dan Burn and Sandro Tonali among those likely to be recalled after midweek rotation.
- Everton manager David Moyes is considering tweaks after back‑to‑back defeats, with a Jordan Pickford recall and Vitalii Mykolenko’s fitness under assessment, while Wolves’ league start sits at 0‑0‑5 with three goals scored.
