SATURDAY (3.0pm unless stated)

Tottenham (4) v Sunderland (18) - Live BT Sport 1, 12.45pm
Tottenham have an unchanged squad. Mousa Dembele returned from an ankle problem in Wednesday night's loss to Leicester, but fellow midfielder Ryan Mason remains out with an ankle injury. Clinton Njie has been struggling with a knee problem, while Alex Pritchard is nearing fitness after four months out with an ankle problem.

New signing Dame N’Doye will not be available for Sunderland as he awaits his work permit. The 30-year-old striker completed his loan move from Turkish side Trabzonspor on Thursday, but cannot be included in Sam Allardyce’s squad until the paperwork is completed. Fellow new boy Jan Kirchhoff will be among Allardyce’s pool of defenders along with Billy Jones, who suffered a cut to his head at Swansea in midweek, while midfielder Jack Rodwell could return from a hamstring problem.

Bournemouth (16) v Norwich (15)
Bournemouth winger Matt Ritchie is rated as 50/50 by manager Eddie Howe to be available against Norwich after suffering a dead leg in the midweek defeat to West Ham. Striker Lewis Grabban is in line to face his former team having left the Canaries on Monday. Defender Tommy Elphick has started training again following a serious knee injury but will not be rushed back. Forwards Callum Wilson and Max Gradel also both continue their long-term rehabilitation.

Norwich will be without midfielder Gary O’Neil, who is suspended following his red card in the midweek defeat at Stoke. Full back Ivo Pinto is not expected to be in the squad as the Portuguese defender continues to settle following his transfer from Dinamo Zagreb. Manager Alex Neil reported no fresh injury worries, with fit-again winger Matt Jarvis pressing for a recall having come off the bench at the Britannia Stadium, along with Nathan Redmond.

Eden Hazard remains out with a groin injury, but could return for the January 24th clash at Arsenal. Striker Radamel Falcao has been out since October with a thigh problem and is continuing his rehabilitation.

Midfielder Tom Cleverley is rated as 50-50 to be fit. The England international has missed the last two matches with a calf problem and will be assessed late on. James McCarthy, who has featured just once in the last seven weeks, is edging closer to full fitness after a groin problem but will not be considered and neither will right back Seamus Coleman.

Manchester City (3) v Crystal Palace (8)
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini will select from the same squad that drew 0-0 with Everton on Wednesday. Nicolas Otamendi and Martin Demechelis will continue in central defence in the absence of captain Vincent Kompany (calf) and Eliaquim Mangala (hamstring). Striker Wilfried Bony is also still out with a calf issue and midfielder Fernandinho will miss out with a muscle problem. Playmaker Samir Nasri remains a long-term casualty after undergoing hamstring surgery in November.

Connor Wickham is expected to return to Alan Pardew’s starting XI. The striker played 45 minutes after coming on as a substitute in Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa having recovered from a calf injury. Pardew is, however, still without Yannick Bolasie, owing to a leg injury, and Dwight Gayle remains a doubt, despite returning to training following a hamstring problem.

Newcastle (19) v West Ham (5)
New signings Jonjo Shelvey and Henri Saivet are in the Newcastle squad and could be handed debuts after completing moves from Swansea and Bordeaux respectively. They could be joined in the 18 by fellow midfielder Rolando Aarons (foot) and striker Emmanuel Riviere (knee) after both played for the club's under-21s on Thursday evening. Defender Steven Taylor (hamstring) is back in training, but midfielder Siem de Jong will be sidelined for up to two weeks after being rushed to hospital with an eye injury suffered in training. Striker Papiss Cisse could miss eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a groin injury.

Andy Carroll will miss West Ham’s trip to his former club. The striker suffered a hamstring injury at Bournemouth on Tuesday night and will be out for four to six weeks, joining Manuel Lanzini and Diafra Sakho (both thigh) on the sidelines. Victor Moses is fit after six weeks out with a hamstring problem while Cheikhou Kouyate and Mauro Zarate have shaken off the knocks which kept them out midweek.

Southampton (12) v West Brom (13)
Kenyan midfielder Victor Wanyama is back in contention for Southampton after suspension but Ronald Koeman was not giving anything about whether he will start. The Saints manager has no fresh injury worries ahead of the game but Gaston Ramirez is still out with a hamstring injury and Florian Gardos remains on the sidelines with a knee problem.

West Brom manager Tony Pulis may make “one or two changes” after monitoring his players’ fitness levels in a light training session on Friday. The Baggies stayed in Southampton after their 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Tuesday and Rickie Lambert will be back in contention after missing that game through illness. Jonas Olsson will be one of the players Pulis monitors before the game as he has just come back from a hamstring problem and James Morrison will be unavailable after coming off after playing only seven minutes on Tuesday due to a similar injury.

Aston Villa (20) v Leicester (2) - Live Sky Sports 1, 5.30pm
Captain Micah Richards could return for Villa after recovering from an ankle injury. The defender was an unused substitute in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace with boss Remi Garde unwilling to risk him. Carlos Sanchez (hamstring), Gabriel Agbonlahor (back) and Jack Grealish (tonsillitis) have returned to training and are in contention but Alan Hutton (hamstring) is out and Jordan Amavi remains sidelined with his season-ending knee injury.

Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri could stick with the same side which won 1-0 at White Hart Lane on Wednesday. Jeff Schlupp is out with a hamstring injury but is expected back by the end of the month while Matty James is closing in on a return after a long-term knee injury.

SUNDAY

Liverpool (9) v Manchester United (6) – Live Sky Sports 1, 2.05pm
Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren will not be fit to return because of a hamstring injury sustained at Stoke earlier this month, while none of the other players on a lengthy injury list are close to fitness. Striker Daniel Sturridge, who has been out since the start of December with a similar problem, is still not ready to make his comeback.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is a major doubt for Manchester United. The German missed Tuesday night’s draw at Newcastle with a knee injury and despite making good progress is expected to remain on the sidelines. Phil Jones could return from his ankle problem but Antonio Valencia (foot), Luke Shaw (leg), Marcos Rojo (shoulder) and Michael Carrick (knee) are all definitely still out.

Stoke (7) v Arsenal (1) – Live Sky Sports 1, 4.15pm
Xherdan Shaqiri will once again be missing for Stoke. The Swiss playmaker sat out Wednesday's win over Norwich because of a hamstring strain but there is hope he can feature against Leicester next weekend, while Geoff Cameron (ankle) is highly doubtful for the Gunners' visit too. Marko Arnautovic (hip) is fine to feature and while Stephen Ireland (hamstring) and Phil Bardsley (groin) could also be in the squad, Marc Muniesa is still missing.

Arsene Wenger is yet to decide whether to hand Mohamed Elneny his Arsenal debut after the Egyptian midfielder joined the Gunners on Thursday. Wenger also has a decision to make over Alexis Sanchez, admitting he would be taking a risk by playing the Chile forward who is fit after recovering from a hamstring injury, while Jack Wilshere (leg), Francis Coquelin, Danny Welbeck and Santi Cazorla (all knee) are definitely out.

MONDAY

Swansea (17) v Watford (10), Live Sky Sports 1, 8.0pm
Swansea have won their appeal against Kyle Naughton's red card in the 4-2 defeat at home to Sunderland so he should feature against Watford. Angel Rangel would deputise if the appeal proves unsuccessful, but Alan Curtis has a fully-fit squad to choose from as he attempts to win for only the second time as Swansea manager.

Watford will have defender Nathan Ake available again following suspension. Hornets boss Quique Sanchez Flores could freshen up his side following what was a third successive Premier League defeat at Southampton on Wednesday night, when defender Craig Cathcart, midfielder Ikechi Anya and Colombia forward Victor Ibarbo all came off the bench. Defenders Tommie Hoban (groin) and Joel Ekstrand (knee) remain unavailable.
