Emmanuel Frimpong returns from suspension, but Carl Jenkinson, Alex Song and Gervinho are banned. Tomas Rosicky (knee) is sidelined along with Jack Wilshere and Abou Diaby (both ankle).

Swansea will be without deadline-day signings Darnel Situ and Rafik Halliche, as they await international clearance from Fifa, but their fellow new arrival Federico Bessone is available.

Bolton’s new signings David Ngog, Gael Kakuta and Dedryck Boyata are poised to make their debuts.

Wolves (5) v Tottenham (20)

Wolves are likely to name an unchanged team for the fourth Premier League match in succession if winger Matt Jarvis proves his fitness after a minor ankle complaint. The seven players who went away on international duty have returned healthy, leaving Wolves missing Dave Edwards (calf) and Sylvain Ebanks Blake (knee). Midfielder Adlene Guedioura is available after recovering from an ankle injury.

Tottenham's new signings Scott Parker and Emmanuel Adebayor will both start at Wolves. Midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has started running again as his hamstring injury was not as bad as first feared, but he will not travel with the squad to Molineux. Sandro (knee), Steven Pienaar (groin), William Gallas (calf) are out but Ledley King is in contention after making good progress on his return from injury.

Sunday, September 11th

Fulham’s international players returned from duty unscathed, while Bobby Zamora, Bjorn Helge Riise and Matthew Briggs have overcome knocks.

Blackburn include new signings Ayegbeni Yakubu, Scott Dann, Simon Vukcevic and Jordan Slew in their squad. Winger Morten Gamst Pedersen misses out and midfielder David Dunn is doubtful, both due to hamstring problems. Ryan Nelsen will be assessed to see if he has recovered from his knee injury.

Norwich (14) v West Brom (18)

Norwich youngster Declan Rudd will deputise for suspended goalkeeper John Ruddy. Centre-half Zak Whitbread (hamstring) is a doubt, but striker James Vaughan, a summer signing from Everton, could make his debut after recovering from a knee injury. However, defenders Daniel Ayala and Elliot Ward (knee) remain out.

West Brom midfielder Zoltan Gera is in contention to make his first appearance since rejoining the club, having been suspended for the opening three games while also recovering from ankle surgery. Striker Peter Odemwingie may be available after his recent ankle setback but his strike partner Shane Long is rated only 50-50 to recover from a calf injury.

Fellow recent arrivals Anton Ferdinand, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Jason Puncheon, Luke Young and Armand Traore are also vying for starts. Several players have niggles but Clint Hill returns after suspension and DJ Campbell has recovered from a virus.

Newcastle left-back Davide Santon is unlikely to go straight into the team, having had little time to train with his new team-mates since joining from Inter Milan. Steve Harper (knee), Danny Guthrie (ankle) and Shola Ameobi (hip) have returned to training after missing the win over Fulham, in which Haris Vuckic broke his hand, while Mehdi Abeid (knee) has joined Mike Williamson (broken arm) and Hatem Ben Arfa (ankle) on the injured list.
