Aguero could return for league leaders City

-

Sergio Aguero could return for leaders Manchester City as they host Burnley in the Premier League today.

The Argentina striker, who is one short of equalling the club’s goalscorin­g record, has been recovering from a broken rib sustained in a car crash.

Captain Vincent Kompany remains on the sidelines with a calf injury while left-back Benjamin Mendy (knee) is a long-term absentee.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford will be fit for today’s trip to Huddersfie­ld after an injury scare.

The 19-year-old limped off in the Champions League win at Benfica on Wednesday with a knee issue, but Jose Mourinho has confirmed the forward will be available.

United midfielder­s Michael Carrick, Marouane Fellaini and Paul Pogba all remain out through injury.

David Luiz and Tiemoue Bakayoko are Chelsea’s latest injury concerns ahead of today’s clash with Watford.

Defender Luiz (calf) and midfielder Bakayoko (groin) suffered knocks against Roma, while midfielder­s Danny Drinkwater (calf) and N’golo Kante (hamstring) are out along with right wing-back Victor Moses (hamstring).

Arsene Wenger will make a raft of changes for Arsenal’s trip to Everton tomorrow but will be without forward Danny Welbeck.

The Gunners won 1-0 at Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League on Thursday but a host of first-team players did not travel to Serbia and will return at Goodison Park, while Wenger will hope both Laurent Koscielny and Aaron Ramsey will be fit enough to be in contention.

Spurs face Liverpool tomorrow with concerns regarding the fitness of both Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama.

Wanyama will see a specialist next week as he continues to struggle with a knee problem, while Dembele’s injury-ridden campaign is now being hampered by a fresh hip problem.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is set for a recall. The midfielder was rested for the 7-0 Champions League victory over Maribor but will return at Wembley, meaning that James Milner could well miss out despite his impressive midweek performanc­e.

Simon Mignolet will return in goal and Joe Gomez could come into defence.
