Everton (5) v Man Utd (7) - Live Sky Sports 1, 4.10pm
Phil Jagielka has an outside chance of being involved as he makes his way back from a hamstring problem.

MONDAY

Man City (3) v West Brom (16) - Live Sky Sports 1, 8.0pm
Playmaker David Silva is a doubt for City due to an ankle problem as is winger Jesus Navas, while Monday's game will come too soon for midfielder Yaya Toure to return after his leg injury. Defender Matija Nastasic, out of action since February because of a knee complaint, remains unavailable.

Defender Jonas Olsson and midfielder James Morrison are doubts for the Baggies after missing training this week with respective Achilles and ankle problems. On-loan winger Scott Sinclair will definitely sit the match out as it is against his parent club.
