Birmingham (13) v West Ham (18)
Birmingham boss Steve Bruce is likely to field an unchanged side, keeping faith with the line-up beaten 1-0 at Newcastle as the Blues aim to end the campaign with their eighth win in 11 games. Republic of Ireland skipper Kenny Cunningham will again be absent because of a groin problem so Darren Purse will continue to deputise alongside Matthew Upson.
Caretaker Hammers manager Trevor Brooking has named an unchanged squad which means midfielders Michael Carrick (stomach) and Lee Bowyer (ankle) are both ruled out by injury and defender Ian Pearce is suspended.

Bolton (17) v Middlesbrough (10)
Bolton are without defender Florent Laville, who is suspended. Sam Allardyce is likely to cover his loss by switching Bruno N'Gotty into the middle to partner Gudni Bergsson, playing his final game before retirement. Anthony Barness could be reinstated at right-back.
Boro striker Malcolm Christie will attempt to play through the pain barrier before undergoing surgery on his hernia problem. Ugo Ehiogu and Colin Cooper (both knee), Szilard Nemeth (hamstring) and Michael Ricketts (Achilles) have all been having treatment this week but manager Steve McClaren will hope to have most, if not all, of them fit. Geremi continues to struggle with an ankle ligament problem and could miss out again.

Charlton (12) v Fulham (15)
Charlton defenders Richard Rufus, Mark Fish and Gary Rowett are still out with knee injuries. John Robinson may be given a place on the substitutes' bench so that the former Wales international can make a farewell appearance after being awarded a free transfer. Graham Stuart could make only his fourth appearance of an injury-ravaged season.
Fulham caretaker-boss Chris Coleman has decided between Maik Taylor and Edwin van der Sar at Charlton - but he has not revealed his verdict. Dutch international Van der Sar, fit again after four months out with a broken foot, has sat on the bench for the last two games and watched Taylor help secure the Cottagers' Premiership status. Striker Steve Marlet is out with his back problem but utility man Martin Djetou (hamstring) is fit again.

Chelsea (4) v Liverpool (5)
John Terry could return for Chelsea after missing last week's defeat at West Ham because of a thigh strain. He has trained this week and Claudio Ranieri will have to decide whether to recall him or stick with Marcel Desailly and William Gallas. Ranieri also has attacking options to consider after naming Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on the replacements' bench last week when he opted to start with Gianfranco Zola and Eidur Gudjohnsen.
Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier has a major doubt over midfielder Dietmar Hamann, who is suffering from a shin injury received in last weekend's 2-1 home defeat by Manchester City - Salif Diao is on standby. Vladimir Smicer is out with a calf injury but Steven Gerrard has recovered from a hip problem.

Everton (6) v Man Utd (1)
Gary Naysmith returns for Everton after serving a one-match ban. Naysmith and David Weir were red carded in the Merseyside derby but Weir received a two-match ban because it was his second dismissal of the season and is still sidelined. Tomasz Radzinski is unlikely to be risked as he recovers from a groin problem.
Alex Ferguson is likely to make a few changes to his United side. Quinton Fortune needs one more appearance to earn a championship medal and can expect to be involved, as can Roy Carroll, who is in a similar position. Diego Forlan and Phil Neville may be given their reward for some impressive early-season performances, while Laurent Blanc can expect a farewell appearance. Darren Fletcher could be given his Premiership debut but Gary Neville (foot) is definitely out.

Leeds (16) v Aston Villa (14)
Peter Reid has named an unchanged squad for his first game as full-time Elland Road manager. Striker Alan Smith completes his two-game suspension so Harry Kewell is again likely to partner Mark Viduka up front after their success againsikkel Bischoff may finally get a chance to shine while Marc-Vivien Foe is once again available after recovering from a knee injury, as City play their last game at the ground.
Southampton boss Gordon Strachan is again likely to name an under-strength side. Chris Baird could make his first league start at right-back with Paul Telfer rested while Jo Tessem is battling with Brett Ormerod to partner James Beattie up front. Chris Marsden (knee) is still struggling while 19-year-old midfielder Aaron Davies will be included in the squad.

Sunderland (20) v Arsenal (2)
Michael Proctor comes into contention for a place in Sunderland's starting line-up after a hat-trick in midweek at Aston Villa for the reserves. Kevin Phillips and Kevin Kilbane have recovered from niggling injuries and Mart Poom could be preferred to Thomas Sorensen in goal.
Arsene Wenger is using the Premiership finale as an FA Cup final fitness test for Lauren and Freddie Ljungberg. Both players will need to get through the 90 minutes at the Stadium of Light, according to the Frenchman, to figure in the squad for the Cardiff showpiece against Southampton next Saturday. Their ankle injuries have eased.

Tottenham (9) v Blackburn (7)
Jamie Redknapp looks set to continue his comeback from injury for Tottenham whilst striker Teddy Sheringham makes his farewell appearance. Centre-half Dean Richards (ankle), striker Steffen Iversen (ribs) and midfielder Darren Anderton (knee) are still struggling to be fit and Christian Ziege has only a remote chance of starting after five months out with thigh and knee injuries.
Blackburn striker Matt Jansen is back in the squad after returning from a loan spell with Coventry. Henning Berg is also in line to make his 250th and last performance for Rovers after recovering from a hamstring injury. The Norwegian defender is not having his contract renewed at the end of the season.

West Brom (19) v Newcastle (3)
West Brom skipper Sean Gregan is expected to play despite being troubled by a groin injury which means he has been unable to train since last Saturday's 1-1 draw at Blackburn. Defender Lars Sigurdsson has a similar problem but he should be available after making a return to training in the latter part of the week. Phil Gilchrist, Darren Moore, Michael Appleton remain on the long term casualty list while Adam Chambers and Jordao will also miss the Baggies' top-flight swansong.
Magpies boss Sir Bobby Robson has selection problems with Craig Bellamy suspended and Alan Shearer (ankle), Gary Speed (groin), Clarence Acuna (Achilles) and Carl Cort (hamstring) all out. In addition, Jonathan Woodgate and Laurent Robert (both knee), Andy O'Brien (broken nose) and Olivier Bernard (shin) are all doubts, although Andy Griffin returns from suspension.
