With the news filtering through that Danny Ings is set to face another lengthy spell on the sidelines, here's a look at each Premier League club's current number of injuries...

20. West Bromwich Albion

Number of injuries: 0

West Bromwich Albion are currently the only side in the top flight who can claim to have a clean bill of health. Tony Pulis has all of his players at his disposal for this weekend's clash away to reigning Premier League champions Leicester City.

19. Chelsea

Number of injuries: 1 (Cesc Fabregas)

The Spanish playmaker is recovering from a knock on his thigh and might even be available for the visit of Everton to Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Another previously crocked star who is in contention to return is Kurt Zouma, with the French defender now back after a serious knee injury.



18. Burnley

Number of injuries: 2 (Stephen Ward and Steven Defour)

Burnley host Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, but will have to make do without Stephen Ward, who limped off during the heroic draw at Old Trafford and Steven Defour, who is recovering from a hamstring problem.

17. Leicester City

Number of injuries: 2 (Nampalys Mendy and Islam Slimani)

While Islam Slimani is fighting to be fit for the Baggies' fixture away to Hull on Saturday, one player who definitely will not take part is summer signing Nampalys Mendy. The French midfielder is still out from the ankle injury he suffered against Arsenal in late august.

16. Middlesbrough

Number of injuries: 3 (Marten De Roon, Cristhian Stuani and Daniel Ayala)

Boro's win over Bournemouth may have propelled them up the table slightly, but manager Aito Karanka will be sweating on the fitness of three first team players ahead of their arduous task at Manchester City this weekend.

15. Swansea City

Number of injuries: 3 (Jefferson Montero, Nathan Dyer and Kyle Naughton)

Jefferson Montero's long term injury is finally reaching its end, but the winger is still touch-and-go for the weekend, with the Swans hosting Manchester United at the Liberty Stadium. Kyle Naughton and Nathan Dyer will also miss out.

14. Manchester City

Number of injuries: 3 (Fernandinho, Bacary Sagna and Fabian Delph)

City's emphatic 3-1 at home to Barcelona in the Champions League came at a cost, with influential midfielder Fernandinho coming off injured. He will be a doubt for the visit of Middlesbrough and may sit out alongside Bacary Sagna (hamstring) and Fabian Delph (muscle).



13. Tottenham Hotspur

Number of injuries: 3 (Harry Kane, Erik Lamela and Toby Alderweireld)

Tottenham Hotspur's recent dip in form has no doubt been linked to the absences of key defender Toby Alderweireld and regular goalscorer Harry Kane. Erik Lamela missed out on the draw to Leicester City, but he will be hoping to return with Kane for the highly anticipated North London derby.



12. Liverpool

Number of injuries: 3 (Joe Gomez, Danny Ings and Sheyi Ojo)

The heartbreaking news that Ings is set for another season out of contention with an injury will devastate Liverpool fans. He will be joined in the stands by two other young English talents in Joe Gomez (knee) and Sheyi Ojo (back). However, James Milner is set to return from illness for the Watford game.



11. Crystal Palace

Number of injuries: 4 (Pape Souare, Jonathan Benteke, Loic Remy and Connor Wickham)

Crystal Palace's striking options are becoming increasingly limited after Connor Wickham was the latest forward to join Jonathan Benteke and Loic Remy in the treatment room. Pape Souare remains a long term absentee with a broken leg.



10. Manchester United

Number of injuries: 4 (Eric Bailly, Antonio Valencia, James Wilson and Chris Smalling)

Phil Jones, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Anthony Martial have travelled with the Red Devils for the Fenerbahce game marking their return from injury, but United's defensive frailties continue, with Mourinho hoping that Smalling can get fit in time for Sunday's game at Swansea.



9. Bournemouth

Number of injuries: 5 (Andrew Surman, Marc Pugh, Brad Smith, Lewis Cook and Josh King)

Cook and Smith will be out of the first team for a while, but the other three are all working hard to get back to match fitness. Josh King and Andrew Surman have an outside chance of playing, as the Cherries face off against Sunderland at the Vitality Stadium.



8. West Ham United

Number of injuries: 5 (Gokhan Tore, Arthur Masuaku, Andy Carroll, Diafra Sakho and Sam Byram)

The Hammers have been unlucky with injuries this season, with five players currently out until the end of November. Two of those (Masuaku and Tore) have barely had enough time to prove themselves after signing this summer. Elsewhere, Slaven Bilic's attacking options are depleted without Carroll or Sakho.



7. Watford

Number of injuries: 5 (Kenedy, Craig Cathcart, Isaac Success, Stefano Okaka and Brice Dja Djedje)

The Hornets have lost a few players to injuries over recent weeks, leaving Walter Mazzarri thin in terms of his options across the field. The biggest blow of which is Isaac Success, who had just started to settle at Vicarage Road, but will be out for a few more weeks.



6. Southampton

Number of injuries: 5 (Cedric Soares, Jeremy Pied, Matt Targett, Alex McCarthy and Jake Hesketh)

Both Shane Long and Jay Rodriguez have supposedly made full recoveries, slashing the Saints' injury list significantly. This means that Cedric remains the only notable first team absence, with the other four hardly rarely troubling the starting eleven, even when fit.



5. Stoke City

Number of injuries: 6 (Xherdan Shaqiri, Jack Butland, Stephen Ireland, Glen Johnson, Geoff Cameron and Ibrahim Affelay)

Stoke City have recovered from their poor start to the season, but the outcome of this weekend's crucial clash at West Ham could depend on whether playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri can make it back in time or not. The rest of the Potters' absentees do not have much of a chance of featuring this weekend



4. Hull City

Number of injuries: 6 (Robert Snodgrass, Alex Bruce, Moses Odubajo, Andrew Robertson, Dieumerci Mbokani and Gregory Luer)

The Tigers did have eight players currently out, but both Allan McGregor and Brian Lenihan made their long awaited returns for he club's U23 side this week. It is unlikely that either will feature when they host Southampton on Sunday, along with six other players still nursing knocks.



3. Sunderland

Number of injuries: 7 (Jan Kirchhoff, John O'Shea, Fabio Borini, Lee Cattermole, Vito Mannone, Jason Denayer and Seb Larssson)

Rock-bottom Black Cats head south to Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon and the only one of their injured men that has an outside chance of recovering in time to make the team sheet is skipper John O'Shea. Sunderland fans will point to the absence of key players like Fabio Borini and Jan Kirchhoff as reasons for their struggles this season.



2. Everton

Number of injuries: 7 (Leighton Baines, James McCarthy, Muhamed Besic, Darron Gibson, Matthew Pennington, Tyias Browning and Maarten Stekelenburg)

Everton have not let their growing injury list halt their positive start to the season, but they face a big test at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening. Toffees manager Ronald Koeman will be hoping that Maarten Stekelenburg can recover to face the Blues, but the rest of his absentees will only be able to watch from the stands.



1. Arsenal
