Gameweek 5 of the Premier League season is here, and these are the players who will miss it through injury or suspension.

Manchester City star Phil Foden will be suspended for his side's clash with Sunderland after picking up a red card.

Elsewhere, Joao Pedro is a doubt for Chelsea's clash against Brentford, after the striker pulled out of international duty for Brazil.

Manager Xabi Alonso said that no one was ruled out as long as they trained ahead of the match - but the striker was not involved in the Blues' final session.

Coventry - still chasing their first win - will be without summer signings Taiwo Awoniyi (suspended) and Aurele Amenda (calf injury) when they visit Nottingham Forest.

Read on for full details of who's missing for the next round of Premier League fixtures:

The last time they failed to win a Premier League away game was April 19th against Manchester City.

Brighton's Jaouen Hadjam is a slight doubt after going off injured in their EFL Cup win over Manchester United, while Arsenal have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the final match before the international break.

Everton are one of seven teams still yet to lose a game in the Premier League this season, while Ipswich are level on points with them after winning two and losing two of their four fixtures so far.

Neither club has too many injury issues to worry about, although highly-rated duo Merlin Rohl and Harrison Armstrong are doubts for the Toffees.

A win for Hull would be their first against Newcastle in the league since September 2013. The Magpies during that period have outscored the Tigers with nine goals for and three against.

Newcastle will be without Nico Gonzalez after the midfielder went off against Leeds with a head injury, and is in doubt of featuring just five days later against Hull. The Tigers are expected to miss star defender Nobel Mendy, who also picked up a head injury in their draw against Chelsea.

Alexander Isak has been the leading attacking threat for Liverpool, netting on three occasions, including one match-opening goal. He is tied for second among the league's top scorers in 2026/2027. Bournemouth have been led by Marcus Tavernier. He leads the club with three goals, which is tied for the second highest in the competition, two of those having been the critical first of the match.

There are no fresh injuries for either side after midweek action, although Phil Foden won't feature for Manchester City after receiving a red card in the Manchester derby last weekend.

Manchester United have got the better of Fulham of late, unbeaten in the last four Premier League matches between the two teams. A win for Fulham would be their first against Manchester United in the league since February 2024. During that period, United have outscored the Cottagers with six goals for and three against.

Several Manchester United players remain absent, while Luke Shaw is also a doubt. Fulham will be without captain Tom Cairney, who hasn't featured since the final day of last season.
