Fans of Chelsea, Tottenham, Brentford, Newcastle, Manchester United and even Arsenal have surely cursed their club's luck with injuries since the start of the season. Across the Premier League and Europe, the length of injury lists is unprecedented.
Spurs, for example, were without 10 first-team squad players for Sunday's draw at Manchester City, while Newcastle were 11 down for their win over United. The two clubs meet in north London at the weekend in a fixture which is likely to be as notable for the absentees as those on the pitch.
