Àll the latest team news ahead of the weekend Premier League fixtures.

Saturday
Aston Villa (15) v Fulham (8)

Villa boss Alex McLeish has no fresh injury concerns and is considering naming an unchanged side. Striker Darren Bent (ankle), defender Richard Dunne (collarbone) and midfielder Fabian Delph (ankle) are all long-term casualties while utility player Ciaran Clark continues to make good progress in his recovery from a knee setback.

Fulham defender Aaron Hughes (calf) may miss out while fellow defenders Stephen Kelly (quad) and Zdenek Grygera (knee) are definitely unavailable. Steve Sidwell (hernia) is two weeks away from a return, although Bryan Ruiz is available after a virus.

Bolton (19) v QPR (16)
Bolton manager Owen Coyle will wait to discover whether Marcos Alonso will be available before finalising his line-up. Alonso returned to Spain following the death of his grandfather and is due to contact Coyle to let him know if he is in the right frame of mind to be involved. Kevin Davies (knee) is fit again after a three-match absence and could be on the bench.

Djibril Cisse, Samba Diakite and Luke Young all return for QPR. Striker Cisse and midfielder Diakite come back into the fold after suspension, while right back Young is back in the squad after overcoming a hamstring injury. Adel Taarabt is a doubt with a hamstring complaint of his own, while on-loan Federico Macheda is unavailable due to an ankle problem. Boss Mark Hughes does not believe defender Fitz Hall will be ready for the game.

Chelsea (5) v Stoke (9)
John Terry is set for his first action since the match against Swansea on January 31st after undergoing surgery on his injured knee. The Chelsea captain was on the bench for the midweek FA Cup win at Birmingham but has trained well this week. Ashley Cole has recovered from a heel injury and interim coach Roberto di Matteo reported a full squad available.

Stoke defender Andy Wilkinson is an injury doubt with a hamstring problem. Jermaine Pennant’s involvement will be of interest after the winger this week denied reports he had recently been fined by the Potters for two breaches of discipline. Rory Delap (hamstring) faces a fitness test.

Everton (13) v Tottenham (3)
Everton manager David Moyes has virtually a fully-fit squad, although several players are lacking match sharpness. Defender Phil Jagielka, forward Victor

Anichebe and midfielder Leon Osman all played for the reserves in midweek but are among those in need of pitch time. Midfielder Darron Gibson (knee) is a few weeks from fitness while on-loan Steven Pienaar is ineligible against his parent club.

Winger Aaron Lennon (hamstring) is unavailable for Spurs and Michael Dawson’s season is over after he ruptured ankle ligaments. Louis Saha has recovered from a knee injury, and William Gallas is available after calf trouble but Ledley King (knee) will have a late test and Tom Huddlestone (ankle) is out.

Sunderland (12) v Liverpool (7)
Sunderland are without suspended duo Lee Cattermole and Stephane Sessegnon, while full back Kieran Richardson is a major doubt with a calf problem, so loan signing Wayne Bridge is standing by. John O'Shea is expected to play with a protective cast over a broken bone in his hand and fellow central defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos (heel) could return to contention, but Keiren Westwood (wrist) is still out.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard and defender Glen Johnson are set to return to the squad. Gerrard sustained a minor hamstring problem on England duty, while Johnson pulled out before the friendly against the Netherlands. Daniel Agger is still out with a cracked rib so Jamie Carragher will continue in central defence.

Wolves (18) v Blackburn (17)
Wolves skipper and defender Roger Johnson is in the squad after being disciplined for being in an unfit condition to train on Monday. Johnson, dropped for the past two games, and on-loan Tottenham defender Sebastien Bassong – who has recovered from a hamstring injury - are in contention. Midfielder David

Davis is a possible replacement for Karl Henry (hamstring), while Steven Fletcher has recovered from illness.

Defenders Gael Givet and Jason Lowe are available after suspension but it is unlikely the duo will break into Blackburn’s starting line-up, though, with both short of match practice. Midfielder David Dunn may start, having come off the bench against Aston Villa last week to score the equaliser.

Sunday
Manchester Utd (2) v West Brom (10)
Chris Smalling is United's major fitness doubt after reopening a head wound originally sustained on England duty during last night's Europa League defeat to Athletic Bilbao. Midfielder Tom Cleverley is set to be involved after recovering from an ankle injury, whilst it is also anticipated Paul Scholes will play some part after being rested for the Bilbao defeat.

West Brom captain Chris Brunt is in contention for his first start in two months, after recovering from a broken foot. He would be a ready-made replacement for fellow midfielder Jerome Thomas, who is struggling to overcome a hamstring injury. Right back Steven Reid is out with an ankle problem, so head

coach Roy Hodgson hopes Billy Jones overcomes a leg injury to replace him. If he is still ruled out, Gabriel Tamas may step in.

Norwich (11) v Wigan (20)
Norwich will again be without defenders Daniel Ayala (hamstring) and Marc Tierney (groin). Centre back Ryan Bennett is in contention after being an unused substitute during the defeat at Stoke, where fit-again midfielder Jonny Howson made his first appearance since signing from Leeds. Striker James Vaughan (hamstring) is still not available.

Wigan midfielder David Jones will be out of action for two weeks with a knee injury. Mike Pollitt is out for four weeks with a shoulder problem but Victor Moses, Mohamed Diame and Hugo Rodallega are all expected to return to the line-up.

Swansea (14) v Man City (1)
Swansea will be without suspended winger Nathan Dyer, so Wayne Routledge will be handed the starting role on the right flank, while defender Ashley Williams should be fit despite a stomach bug. Andrea Orlandi is closing in on a return from a hamstring tear but is not available to face City, while Kemy Agustien is likely to miss the rest of the season after ankle surgery,

City will be without captain Vincent Kompany. He suffered a calf injury in last night’s Europa League loss at Sporting Lisbon and the club are yet to learn the full extent of the damage. Fellow defenders Micah Richards and Joleon Lescott should be fit but another, right back Pablo Zabaleta (hamstring), remains sidelined and striker Carlos Tevez is still short of match-fitness.

Monday
Arsenal (4) v Newcastle (6)
Brazil full back Andre Santos could return to the Arsenal squad after recovering from a broken ankle. Midfielder Mikel Arteta is available having been rested for the midweek Champions League win over AC Milan because of a blow to the head at Liverpool, while Wales captain Aaron Ramsey (ankle) should also be involved. Yossi Benayoun has been out with a virus, while there were no other fresh injuries from midweek. Abou Diaby (hamstring), defender Francis Coquelin (hamstring), centre back Per Mertesacker (ankle) and midfielder Jack Wilshere (ankle) remain sidelined.

Newcastle will be without striker Peter Lovenkrands, who could miss the rest of the season after he suffered a suspected ruptured thigh muscle.

Shola Ameobi has recovered from the bout of illness which limited him to the substitutes’ bench last weekend. Long-term absentees Leon Best and Sammy Ameobi (both knee), Steven Taylor (Achilles) and Sylvain Marveaux (groin) are still sidelined.
