Arsenal (4) v West Ham (19)Arsenal midfielder Gilberto (hip), striker Jeremie Aliadiere (foot) and defender Emmanuel Eboue (groin) are available — but there is still no place in the squad for midfielder Mathieu Flamini. Captain Thierry Henry (groin and stomach), Robin van Persie (broken foot) and Theo Walcott (shoulder) are all sidelined. Nigel Quashie (ankle) and defender Calum Davenport (foot) are struggling to be fit for the Hammers. Matthew Upson is definitely out after aggravating a calf injury but Yossi Benayoun could return to the squad. The Israeli was rested for the win over Middlesbrough after returning from international duty.
Blackburn (10) v Aston Villa (14)
Rovers midfielder David Bentley is available after suspension but defender Zurab Khizanishvili remains doubtful with a knee injury.
Villa striker Ashley Young is expected to be fit after a dead leg. Shaun Maloney and Patrik Berger could come into contention to start after impressing in the second period against Everton, while former Goodison midfielder Gavin McCann is available — his two-game ban starts against Wigan on Easter Monday.
Chelsea (2) v Tottenham (6)
Joe Cole is included in Jose Mourinho's squad after successfully returning to first-team action against Valencia in the Champions League in midweek. Arjen Robben (knee) and Michael Essien (knee) are out but Chelsea have no fresh injury problems.
Spurs centre-back Ricardo Rocha is set to return after being ineligible for the UEFA Cup defeat to Sevilla. He was forced to join Tom Huddlestone (knee), Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee), Danny Murphy (Achilles) and Anthony Gardner (fractured leg) on the sidelines.
Middlesbrough (12) v Watford (20)
Boro defender Emanuel Pogatetz joins suspended midfielders Lee Cattermole and James Morrison on the sidelines after reaching 10 bookings for the season. Summer signing Robert Huth may return after recovering from a foot fracture, although midfielder Julio Arca remains a doubt with a groin problem.
Long-term injury victim Marlon King (knee) is Watford's only absentee. Boss Adrian Boothroyd is likely to stick with Ben Foster in goal rather than give Richard Lee a taste of first-team action, even though Foster is ineligible for next weekend's FA Cup semi-final against parent club Manchester United.
Portsmouth (9) v Man Utd (1)
On-loan Chelsea defender Glen Johnson (knee) is struggling for Portsmouth but Noe Pamarot (thigh) is fit again. Pedro Mendes is still out recovering from an ankle operation.
Patrice Evra is set to return to Manchester United's squad after missing the last six games with a knee injury. United stayed on in Italy after Wednesday night's Champions League loss to Roma, so the bulk of their squad will be the same.
Reading (8) v Liverpool (3)
Glen Little is out with an Achilles injury, with John Oster ahead of Seol Ki-Hyeon in the queue to replace him for Reading. Captain Graeme Murty is still feeling the effects of a calf problem so Greg Halford is set to continue at right-back, but goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann is expected to be passed fit.
Craig Bellamy has staked his claim to return for Liverpool after missing two matches with a rib injury and midfielder Mohamed Sissoko — suspended for the midweek Champions League game — is available again.
Sheff Utd (17) v Newcastle (11)
Striker Danny Webber could return to the Blades' squad after missing last weekend's defeat at Bolton with a foot injury. He has trained this week. With top scorer Rob Hulse ruled out for the season with a broken leg, Jon Stead is challenging Christian Nade for a place in the starting line-up.
Magpies defender Craig Moore could be available after responding to treatment on a groin injury. Manager Glenn Roeder has no fresh fitness concerns with Michael Owen (knee) and Shola Ameobi (hip) close to returning to full training.
Wigan (16) v Bolton (5)
Wigan are virtually at full strength. Defender Emmerson Boyce (rib) is the only outfield absentee, while keepers Chris Kirkland and Mike Pollitt are injured. Henri Camara or Julius Aghahowa may be on the bench.
Bolton will be without captain Kevin Nolan — he serves a suspension after collecting eight bookings for the season, and joins Ivan Campo — who completes a two-match ban — on the sidelines.
