Playing style not documented for this team.

The mood around the club, and who is missing

Internal climate, relationship with the supporters, and known absences before the next match.

Absences
InjuredChadi Riad — Stretchered off in the 68th minute at Everton on 22 Aug 2026 after a knee injury described as concerning by Sky Sports. Left out of the squad against Manchester City. No expected length of absence given by the sources consulted.
InjuredIsmaila Sarr — Missed matchday 1 at Everton. Pierre Sage confirmed publicly on 26 Aug 2026: “he is under contract, he is injured”. Exact nature and duration not specified; initial reports wrongly suggested a disciplinary reason.
DoubtfulJean-Philippe Mateta — In the starting XI on 22 Aug against Everton (hit the post on 38 minutes), he appears neither in the line-up nor among the substitutes on the Sky Sports team sheet against Manchester City on 28 Aug. Context of a final contract year and an approach from Aston Villa. None of the sources consulted says whether this is an injury, a selection call or the transfer situation.

Before kick-off

What other sources say
No external source has been collected for this match. That is the normal state: readings are taken by hand, and an empty box is better than an unverified figure.
This block shows probability estimates, not predictions, and carries no advisory value. The in-house estimate is the result of a formula applied to a small sample; the figures from external sources are reproduced as they were collected, without their method having been verified.
