Bolton (5) v Sheff Utd (17)Bolton boss Sam Allardyce has no new injury worries. Ivan Campo begins a two-match suspension, joining longer-term injury victims Joey O'Brien and Quinton Fortune on the sidelines. Danny Webber is likely to be missing from the Sheffield United squad after picking up a metatarsal injury. The Blades hope Keith Gillespie will have recovered from a sickness bug which prevented him training earlier his week.
Charlton (18) v Wigan (16)
Charlton have a doubt over on-loan midfielder Alexandre Song (hamstring), although striker Darren Bent (knee) is fit despite being forced to withdraw from the England squad during the international break.
Wigan's Leighton Baines, Lee McCulloch and Fitz Hall all return from suspension. Caleb Folan is fit after an ankle injury, leaving defender Emmerson Boyce (rib) as manager Paul Jewell's only outfield absentee. Goalkeepers Chris Kirkland and Mike Pollitt are also sidelined.
Fulham (14) v Portsmouth (9)
Fulham's on-loan striker Vincenzo Montella, suspension-free but struggling with groin trouble, will have a late fitness test. Philippe Christanval (flu) is out, Claude Dempsey is unavailable as he only returned from international duty today, while Simon Elliott and Mark Pembridge are absent with long-term injuries.
Pedro Mendes (ankle) is the only Pompey absentee, although manager Harry Redknapp must decide whether to recall midfielder Sean Davis after a ban to face his former club. Lauren (thigh) and Noe Pamarot (back) are fit but Svetoslav Todorov is unlikely to be considered.
Liverpool (4) v Arsenal (3)
Peter Crouch could be involved for Liverpool. The England striker has been training this week following an operation to repair his broken nose but may not be risked ahead of next week's Champions League trip to PSV Eindhoven.
Arsenal midfielder Gilberto faces a fitness test on a hip but captain Thierry Henry (groin and stomach), Robin van Persie (broken foot) and Theo Walcott (shoulder) are out. Striker Emmanuel Adebayor is available after a ban, while defenders Gael Clichy (hamstring) and Emmanuel Eboue (ankle) are fit again.

Nicky Butt returns from a one-match ban for Newcastle, while Stephen Carr (groin), Celestine Babayaro and Peter Ramage (both hamstring) are available again. Strikers Michael Owen (knee) and Shola Ameobi (hip) are progressing well but are yet to resume full training.
City are likely to be without full-back Micah Richards, who was carried off on a stretcher midway through England's 3-0 win over Andorra with apparent ligament damage. With his remaining internationals having returned relatively unscathed, City boss Stuart Pearce would look to retain an otherwise unchanged side with Emile Mpenza expected to continue up front.
Watford (20) v Chelsea (2)
Watford hope to welcome back Jordan Stewart after calf trouble. Fellow defender Jay DeMerit made his international debut for the United States in a friendly during the week, and will be included if he can shake off the effects of the long flight. Forward Marlon King remains absent with a knee injury, but could make a surprise return before the end of the season.

Knee victims Ibrahima Sonko and Bobby Convey (both knee) remain absent.
Monday
Aston Villa (13) v Everton (6)
Villa defender Martin Laursen could figure after returning to full training this week after a hamstring injury. Midfielder Shaun Maloney is also challenging for a start after illness.
Everton boss David Moyes is unlikely to change his side from the win over Arsenal. Tim Cahill is out for the season, James McFadden (foot) could be back in two weeks, while Nuno Valente is still struggling with a calf problem.
