Saturday

Middlesbrough (16) v Coventry (12)

Middlesbrough have Christian Ziege and Hamilton Ricard back from suspension. Gary Pallister has managed to shake off a back injury but Keith O'Neill damaged a groin in the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa on Monday night and is ruled out for several weeks.

Coventry are likely to be without Steve Froggatt, who injured an ankle during the win against Sunderland. Veteran goalkeeper Steve Ogrizovic, number two to Magnus Hedman all season, injured his shoulder in a midweek reserve match. Danish youngster Morten Hyldgaard, who has been on loan at Scunthorpe, is favourite for the substitutes' bench although he is under treatment for a groin strain.

Sunday

Leeds (2) v Man Utd (1)

Leeds are likely to be without 14-goal leading scorer Michael Bridges, who is struggling with an ankle injury, but Harry Kewell should be fit after shaking off the same injury. If so, he will partner Alan Smith up front. Skipper Lucas Radebe will play after recovering from a shin injury while on African Nations Cup duty with South Africa, replacing the suspended Michael Duberry at the heart of the defence. Stephen McPhail returns after recovering from a hamstring strain, while David Hopkin is in line for his first senior game for three months after an injury and suspension lay-off.

Alex Ferguson has virtually a full-strength Manchester United squad to choose from following Dwight Yorke's return from the Gold Cup. Ferguson's biggest poser is whether to restore Yorke's strike partnership with Andy Cole, which would mean the end of Teddy Sheringham's recent run up front.
