Arsenal caretaker Freddie Ljungberg says he's excited about leading the club following Unai Emery's sacking, but insists he is not thinking long-term

Norwich will be without Grant Hanley and Timm Klose as they make their way back from injuries. Alex Tettey will miss out for personal reasons. Jamal Lewis returned to training this week but will be assessed ahead of the game while Todd Cantwell should be available for Sunday after training later in the week.

Freddie Ljungberg takes charge of Arsenal for the first time since being announced as interim head coach following the sacking of Unai Emery on Friday. He will be hoping David Luiz (bruised ribs) is fit after being forced off in the 2-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night, while Hector Bellerin (hamstring) will be assessed. Dani Ceballos (hamstring) is a definite absentee but Sead Kolasinac has recovered from his own minor hamstring issue and could feature.

A look at the highs and lows of Unai Emery's time at Arsenal and why he was sacked as head coach

Stat of the match: Only bottom three sides Norwich (3) and Watford (4) have scored fewer away goals than Arsenal in the Premier League this season (5). The Gunners are without a goal in their last 212 minutes of football away from home, mustering just five shots on target in that run.

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder praises summer signing Lys Mousset and says the striker has recovered from injury in time to face Wolves on Sunday

Romain Saiss will be suspended when Wolves welcome Sheffield United after the defender collected his fifth booking of the season in last week's 2-1 win at Bournemouth. Ryan Bennett may return from a groin injury to replace him after missing Thursday's 3-3 Europa League draw in Braga. Morgan Gibbs-White (back) is likely to sit out and Willy Boly (fracture leg) is sidelined.

Sheffield United will welcome back goalkeeper Dean Henderson and defender John Egan for the trip to Molineux. Henderson was ineligible to face parent club Manchester United last time out, while Egan missed out after suffering concussion on Republic of Ireland duty. Lys Mousset is fit after a tight hamstring forced him to be substituted during the 3-3 draw with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

Stat of the match: Raul Jimenez has scored in three consecutive Premier League games - the only Wolves player to score in four in a row in the competition is Henri Camara, who scored in five consecutive appearances in April 2004.

Charlie Nicholas' prediction: 2-1 (8/1 with Sky Bet)

Leicester vs Everton - Sunday, 4.30pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports Premier League

Jonny Evans will be available for Leicester as they look to equal a club record of six successive top-flight wins against Everton. Evans was forced off with cramp after 62 minutes at Brighton last weekend but he has resumed training and will be fit. Matty James is back in training following a long-term Achilles problem but the midfielder is not yet ready for a return to first-team action.

Ahead of Leicester's Super Sunday clash with Everton, Jamie Redknapp met up with Jamie Vardy to discuss the art of goalscoring

Everton have significant injury problems and will be without full-back Seamus Coleman. Midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin and forward Theo Walcott, who both went off during last weekend's loss to Norwich, are major doubts, as is Fabian Delph (hamstring). Richarlison will be fit while Bernard (knee) has an outside chance of being involved. Andre Gomes (ankle) and Jean-Philippe Gbamin (thigh) remain long-term absentees.

Stat of the match: Leicester are looking to win six consecutive top-flight matches for the first time since their club record run of seven in March 1963. They've won their last five in the Premier League by a combined score of 17-1, keeping a clean sheet in each of the last four.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has defended Paul Pogba and says he will be 'like a new signing' when he returns from injury

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is pushing to play after missing the trip to Sheffield United with an ankle complaint and will be assessed ahead of Sunday - a match Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Paul Pogba will not be available for following an ankle injury of his own. Luke Shaw, Lee Grant, Jesse Lingard and Axel Tuanzebe built fitness by playing 90 minutes as United lost 2-1 to Astana on Thursday, when the remainder of the senior squad stayed at home ahead of facing Villa. Nemanja Matic, Eric Bailly, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Diogo Dalot continue to build fitness after injury.

Aston Villa defender Bjorn Engels is in contention after been out of action since the start of November with a hip injury, but has trained all week and is available for selection after admitting he did not feel ready for Monday night's victory over Newcastle. Midfielder Jota is also back in training after a hernia problem, but is short of match fitness, while striker Keinan Davis is due to resume jogging on Monday and is two to three weeks away from a return. Keeper Jed Steer (Achilles) is expected to be sidelined for four months.

Stat of the match: Manchester United have won 34 Premier League games against Aston Villa - the only team to win more against a specific opponent in the competition are Man Utd themselves, with 36 wins against Everton.

How to watch: Follow the action with our dedicated live blog. Highlights of the game will be published shortly after full-time on the Sky Sports website and app plus the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel.
