SATURDAY 30 APRIL
All games 3.00pm except where stated
ASTON VILLA v CHELSEA
Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish has to find a replacement for calf injury victim Alan Hutton at right-back for tomorrow's home Barclays Premier League clash with Chelsea.
Eric Lichaj and utility player Chris Herd are the likely players to be in contention to replace the Scotland international who will be sidelined for two to three weeks.
Winger Charles N'Zogbia will be out for a further month with his knee setback.
Striker Darren Bent (ankle), defender Richard Dunne (shoulder) and midfielder Fabian Delph (ankle) remain long-term absentees while utility player Ciaran Clark is still recovering from a knee problem.

Midfielder Raul Meireles is Chelsea's only doubt for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League clash with Aston Villa.
Meireles sustained a knee injury in Tuesday night's 1-0 victory over Benfica and could miss the trip to Villa Park.
Branislav Ivanovic and Ramires have been passed fit after overcoming minor knocks.
Chelsea squad: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Bertrand, Mikel, Romeu, Essien, Meireles, Ramires, Lampard, Mata, Malouda, Drogba, Torres, Sturridge, Kalou, Turnbull.
EVERTON v WEST BROM
Everton are likely to be without midfielders Jack Rodwell, Seamus Coleman and Royston Drenthe for tomorrow's visit of West Brom.
Rodwell (hamstring) and Coleman (thigh) have missed four and three matches respectively, while Drenthe has sat out the last two games after being given extended leave.
On-loan midfielder Steven Pienaar returns after being ineligible for the midweek FA Cup replay victory at Sunderland.
Everton squad: Howard, Neville, Hibbert, Distin, Jagielka, Heitinga, Baines, Cahill, Gibson, Pienaar, Fellaini, Osman, Barkley, Gueye, Jelavic, Mucha, Stracqualursi, Anichebe, McFadden.
West Brom will be without injured midfielder James Morrison for the Barclays Premier League clash with Everton at Goodison Park tomorrow.
Morrison is likely to be missing for the remainder of the season after suffering knee ligament damage during last weekend's home reversal against Newcastle.
Paul Scharner and Graham Dorrans will be in contention to replace the Scotland international if head coach Roy Hodgson perseveres with a five-man midfield.
Midfielder Zoltan Gera (knee) and right-back Steven Reid (foot) remain long-term absentees.
West Brom squad: Foster, Daniels, Jones, Olsson, McAuley, Tamas, Dawson, Ridgewell, Shorey, Mulumbu, Brunt, Scharner, Andrews, Dorrans, Thomas, Tchoyi, Cox, Fortune, Long, Odemwingie.
FULHAM v NORWICH
Fulham manager Martin Jol has recalled midfielder Alex Kacaniklic from his loan spell at Watford and the Sweden Under-19 international goes straight into the squad to face Norwich tomorrow.
Kacaniklic, 20, has been earning plaudits from his performances in the Championship and will be determined to earn himself a spot in Jol's side.
The Cottagers have no fresh injury concerns with Neil Etheridge (wrist), Zdenek Grygera (knee), Steve Sidwell (hernia) and Orlando Sa (hamstring) all still on the sidelines.
Fulham squad: Schwarzer, Stockdale, Kelly, Riise, Hangeland, Senderos, Hughes, Baird, Murphy, Etuhu, Diarra, Gecov, Kasami, Frei, Dempsey, Ruiz, Davies, Kacaniklic, Duff, Dembele, Johnson, Pogrebnyak.
Norwich captain Grant Holt will serve a one-match suspension for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League trip to Fulham.
Holt was sent off after scoring a brace in the Canaries' home win over Wolves last weekend. Winger Anthony Pilkington (hamstring) is doubtful.
Defenders Marc Tierney (groin) and Daniel Ayala (knee) continue their rehabilitation towards full match fitness, along with striker James Vaughan (knee).
Norwich City squad: Ruddy, Ward, Whitbread, Drury, Naughton, Crofts, Pilkington, Surman, E Bennett, Fox, Hoolahan, Jackson, Morison, Wilbraham, Steer, Johnson, Martin, Howson, R Bennett.
MANCHESTER CITY v SUNDERLAND
Manchester City will again be without top scorer Sergio Aguero for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League clash against Sunderland due to a foot injury.
The striker missed last week's clash at Stoke and manager Roberto Mancini would today shed no light on the nature of the problem, only to say that it was a "stupid" injury.
Captain Vincent Kompany (calf) is expected to return after four games out but fellow defender Joleon Lescott (groin) remains sidelined. Striker Carlos Tevez is again set to start on the bench.
Manchester City squad: Hart, Pantilimon, Richards, Zabaleta, Kompany, Savic, K Toure, Clichy, Kolarov, Milner, Nasri, Johnson, Barry, Y Toure, De Jong, Pizarro, Silva, Tevez, Dzeko, Balotelli.
Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill will be without left-back Wayne Bridge for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League trip to Manchester City.
The England international is ineligible under the terms of his loan agreement, and that leaves O'Neill with a problem with Kieran Richardson having just returned to training after a calf injury.
Midfielder Jack Colback, who missed the 2-0 FA Cup sixth-round replay defeat by Everton in midweek to attend the birth of his first child, has played in defence this season and could deputise, but central defender John O'Shea (calf) is out and midfielder Lee Cattermole is a doubt with a twisted knee.
Sunderland squad: Mignolet, Gordon, Bardsley, Richardson, Turner, Kilgallon, Kyrgiakos, Lynch, Cattermole, Gardner, Larsson, Elmohamady, McClean, Vaughan, Meyler, Colback, Sessegnon, Bendtner, Wickham, Ji, Campbell.
QPR v ARSENAL
QPR striker Djibril Cisse will begin his four-match ban when Arsenal visit Loftus Road tomorrow.
The France international was sent off at former club Sunderland last weekend and is joined on the sidelines by Armand Traore, who is a week away from returning from a hamstring injury.
Long-term absentees DJ Campbell (hamstring) and Heidar Helguson (knee) are making good progress, but are not yet ready for a first-team return.
QPR squad: Kenny, Cerny, Murphy, Young, Gabbidon, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Taiwo, Hall, Hill, Derry, Diakite, Barton, Buzsaky, Taarabt, Smith, Mackie, Wright-Phillips, Hulse, Bothroyd, Zamora.
Arsenal will have centre-half Laurent Koscielny available following a knee problem for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League trip to QPR.
Midfielder Abou Diaby (hamstring) is not expected to be back in contention, but like Francis Coquelin (hamstring) is close to match fitness.
Centre-back Per Mertesacker (ankle) and midfielder Jack Wilshere (ankle) remain sidelined.
Arsenal squad: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Walcott, Gervinho, van Persie, Fabianski, Gibbs, Djourou, Santos, Jenkinson, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Benayoun, Chamakh.
WIGAN ATHLETIC v STOKE CITY
Wigan hope forward Victor Moses will be fit for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League game against Stoke after scans revealed he did not break his jaw last week.
Midfielder Mohamed Diame (groin) and striker Hugo Rodallega (knee) only have outside chances of playing in the game at the DW Stadium.
Midfielder David Jones (knee) is now back in contention while third-choice goalkeeper Mike Pollitt (shoulder) is also training again.
Wigan Athletic squad: Al Habsi, Kirkland, Caldwell, Boyce, Figueroa, Alcaraz, Stam, Lopez, Gohouri, Beausejour, Watson, Moses, Crusat, McArthur, McCarthy, Jones, Gomez, Thomas, Diame, Maloney, Di Santo, Sammon, Rodallega.
Stoke have striker Ricardo Fuller available again for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League clash with Wigan at the DW Stadium.
Fuller could make his return to action having completed a three-match suspension following his red card against Chelsea on March 10.
Jonathan Woodgate may feature in the Potters' matchday squad for the first time in more than a month after recovering from a calf problem and fellow defender Robert Huth should be fit despite suffering a leg knock, but midfielder Salif Diao remains sidelined with a hamstring complaint.
Stoke City squad: Begovic, Sorensen, Huth, Upson, Shotton, Shawcross, Wilkinson, Wilson, Woodgate, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington, Pennant, Delap, Palacios, Jones, Jerome, Crouch, Walters, Fuller.
WOLVES v BOLTON
Wolves boss Terry Connor will check on the fitness of key midfielder Karl Henry before finalising his side for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League relegation battle with Bolton at Molineux.
Henry has returned to training after four weeks out of action with a hamstring setback but Connor is mindful he has hardly played for two months after serving a three-game ban prior to the injury.
Fellow midfielder David Davis is making good progress from a rib injury and defender Ronald Zubar will be back in contention after being suspended for the defeat at Norwich last weekend. Wolves will be searching for their first home win since early December.
Wolves squad: Hennessey, De Vries, Zubar, Foley, Stearman, Doherty, Johnson, Bassong, Berra, Ward, Elokobi, Kightly, Henry, Davis, Hammill, Hunt, Milijas, Edwards, Forde, Jarvis, Doyle, Ebanks-Blake, Fletcher, Jonsson.
Bolton manager Owen Coyle is likely to freshen up his side for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League match against Wolves at Molineux.
Midfielder Darren Pratley is ruled out after suffering a gashed leg during the 3-1 defeat by Tottenham in Tuesday's rearranged FA Cup quarter-final, but David Wheater could return after being rested.
Fabrice Muamba remains in hospital following his cardiac arrest in the original tie at White Hart Lane.
Bolton squad: Bogdan, Jaaskelainen, Alonso, Steinsson, Wheater, Boyata, Knight, Ream, Ricketts, Reo-Coker, M Davies, Klasnic, Miyaichi, Ngog, Petrov, Vela, Eagles, Tuncay, K Davies, Sordell.
SUNDAY 1 APRIL
NEWCASTLE UNITED v LIVERPOOL (1.30)
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew will be boosted by the returns of Cheick Tiote and Ryan Taylor for Sunday's Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool.
Midfielder Tiote has missed the last two games with a hamstring problem, while utility man Taylor has been sidelined by a calf strain.
However, central defender and captain Fabricio Coloccini is out with a torn hamstring, joining long-term absentees Peter Lovenkrands (thigh), Leon Best, Sammy Ameobi (both knee), Steven Taylor (Achilles) and Sylvain Marveaux (groin) on the casualty list.
Newcastle United: Krul, Elliot, Harper, Simpson, Santon, R. Taylor, Ferguson, Perch, Williamson, Tiote, Cabaye, Obertan, Ben Arfa, Gutierrez, Abeid, Gosling, Ba, Cisse, Shola Ameobi.
Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam will miss Sunday's trip to Newcastle as he must wait a fortnight for further assessment of a knee problem.
Manager Kenny Dalglish is hopeful some of his other players will be fit to return, however, with defenders Glen Johnson (calf), Martin Kelly (ankle) and Daniel Agger (rib) all missing for last weekend's defeat to Wigan.
Midfielder Maxi Rodriguez has recovered from the illness which kept him out of the last game but forward Craig Bellamy (calf) has missed four successive matches.
Liverpool squad: Reina, Kelly, Carragher, Skrtel, Enrique, Spearing, Gerrard, Henderson, Downing, Carroll, Suarez, Doni, Flanagan, Aurelio, Coates, Shelvey, Rodriguez, Kuyt.
Tottenham v Swansea (4.00)
Winger Aaron Lennon (hamstring) is expected to make his return from a three-week layoff in Tottenham's Barclays Premier League match against Swansea on Sunday.
Ledley King (knee) may miss out after playing in Tuesday's win over Bolton but long-term absentees Michael Dawson (ankle), goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes (knee), and midfielder Tom Huddlestone (ankle), are out.
Tottenham squad: Friedel, Cudicini, Assou-Ekotto, Rose, Kaboul, Gallas, Khumalo, Walker, King, Nelsen, Livermore, Sandro, Parker, Bale, Kranjcar, Lennon, Dos Santos, Modric, Defoe, Adebayor, Saha, Van der Vaart, Lancaster, Luongo.
Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers has winger Nathan Dyer back from suspension for Sunday's Barclays Premier League trip to Tottenham.
Dyer has served a three-match ban after his red card in the win at Wigan and will compete with Wayne Routledge for the right wing spot.
Midfielder Andrea Orlandi has stepped up his recovery from a hamstring injury after featuring for the reserves on Thursday, but the visit to White Hart Lane comes too soon for him.
Swansea squad: Vorm, Williams, Taylor, Caulker, Tate, Britton, Graham, Sinclair, Dyer, Routledge, Monk, McEachran, Lita, Moore, Bessone, Rangel, Situ, Allen, Tremmel, Gower, Richards, Sigurdsson, Obeng.
MONDAY 2 APRIL
BLACKBURN ROVERS v MANCHESTER UNITED (8.00)
Defender Gael Givet is again Blackburn's only doubt ahead of their Barclays Premier League clash with leaders Manchester United at Ewood Park on Monday.
Givet aggravated a slight hamstring problem while warming up during Rovers' victory over Sunderland earlier this month and is recovering slower than anticipated.
Boss Steve Kean has named the same side for the previous three matches, wins over Sunderland and Wolves and last weekend's 2-1 defeat by Bolton.
Blackburn Rovers squad: Robinson, Orr, Dann, Givet, Hanley, Lowe, Martin Olsson, Pedersen, Petrovic, Nzonzi, Hoilett, Dunn, Yakubu, Formica, Modeste, Goodwillie, Marcus Olsson, Rochina, Vukcevic, Henley, Bunn.
Rio Ferdinand will be fit for Manchester United's local derby at Blackburn on Monday.
Ferdinand had to be replaced during this week's win over over Fulham with a back problem but Alex Ferguson feels the prompt action will ensure his most experienced defender is fit for the Ewood Park encounter.
Nani (ankle) is still sidelined, along with long-term absentees Michael Owen, Anders Lindegaard, Anderson, Nemanja Vidic and Darren Fletcher.
Manchester United squad: De Gea, Amos, Rafael, Jones, Smalling, Ferdinand, Evans, Fabio, Evra, Valencia, Park, Scholes, Cleverley, Carrick, Pogba, Giggs, Young, Rooney, Welbeck, Hernandez, Berbatov.
