Winger Dennis Rommedahl will be out for at least another week with a rib injury sustained in the draw at Chelsea. Midfielder Danny Murphy could get a chance to return to the starting line-up.
Defender Gonzalo Sorondo is still on the casualty list and will not start running until next week after hurting his foot against Arsenal on Boxing Day.
