Chelsea (1) v Man Utd (2)

Chelsea have just one player missing from their squad with full-back Jose Bosingwa still suffering from a knee problem. But Yury Zhirkov and John Mikel Obi are in the squad along with goalkeeper Hilario.

Nemanja Vidic is set to return for Manchester United after suffering a calf strain. Rio Ferdinand (calf) is definitely out, along with Park Ji-sung (knee), while Gary Neville is suspended, so John O'Shea is set to return.

Hull (19) v Stoke (9)

Geovanni is suspended after his red card at Burnley and goalkeeper Boaz Myhill is out with a knee injury. Record signing Jimmy Bullard is included in the squad and could make his long-awaited home debut. The £5million midfielder has missed two games with a shin problem since returning from a nine-month knee injury lay-off. Craig Fagan could be recalled after being overlooked for five games while Ian Ashbee (knee) is the club's only other significant absentee.

Andy Wilkinson will be hoping to have done enough to keep Robert Huth out of the Stoke side. Huth returns to the Potters squad after serving a three-match suspension, but Wilkinson has impressed at right-back in his place and manager Tony Pulis has a tough decision to make. Mamady Sidibe has been struggling with a hamstring problem but could be in contention after taking part in training on Friday.

West Ham (16) v Everton (13)

West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola is awaiting news on Herita Ilunga and Carlton Cole after both were forced off with suspected hamstring injuries during Wednesday's victory over Aston Villa. Jonathan Spector and Zavon Hines are standing by to step into the starting XI. Radoslav Kovac is available after a ban but Luis Boa Morte (knee), Dean Ashton (ankle) and Calum Davenport (leg) are out. Fabio Daprela and Frank Nouble come into the squad.

Russian winger Diniyar Bilyaletdinov is suspended for Everton following his dismissal against Aston Villa last weekend. Former West Ham captain Lucas Neill and Dutchman John Heitinga, both ineligible for the Benfica game, come back into the squad but Louis Saha (calf) could miss out.

Wigan (12) v Fulham (11)

Swedish full-back Erik Edman could return to the Wigan side after making a return to training after a bout of concussion. Maynor Figueroa is missing, though, having failed to recover from a knee injury.

Roy Hodgson is likely to be without key duo Andrew Johnson and Danny Murphy. Johnson (shoulder) and captain Murphy (knee) both missed Thursday's Europa League defeat against Roma which could mean a start for Bobby Zamora in attack.

Liverpool (6) v Birmingham (14)

Jamie Carragher and Philipp Degen will be starting their suspensions after they were sent off against Fulham last weekend. There is better news on the injury front at last for Liverpool. Martin Skrtel (virus) and Fabio Aurelio (calf) are back in the squad. There are still doubts over Glen Johnson and Martin Kelly, while Liverpool are still assessing the groin problems affecting Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres.

Birmingham midfielder Barry Ferguson is suspended and could be replaced by Lee Carsley. On-loan goalkeeper Joe Hart is available after being ineligible to face Manchester City, although deputy Maik Taylor impressed against Mark Hughes' side. Winger Keith Fahey is battling to overcome a knock to his knee in training but striker Garry O'Connor is still troubled by a groin problem and is a doubt.
