SATURDAY

Premiership

Arsenal v Bolton Wanderers - 3pm

Arsenal will welcome back Tomas Rosicky from a virus and Arsene Wenger has no fresh injury concerns. Emmanuel Eboue shrugged off a groin injury to play the full 90 minutes against Newcastle on Easter Monday.

Denilson is pressing for a return to the starting XI after warming the bench at St James' Park. Thierry Henry (groin and stomach), Robin van Persie (broken foot) and Theo Walcott (shoulder) are all sidelined.

Kevin Nolan is available again for Bolton after completing a two-match suspension, giving Sam Allardyce a virtually full squad to choose from. Tal Ben Haim is the only doubt with a hamstring problem, while Joey O'Brien and Quinton Fortune are the only long-term absentees.

Arsenal (from): Lehmann, Eboue, Toure, Gallas, Clichy, Hleb, Fabregas, Gilberto, Diaby, Ljungberg, Adebayor, Almunia, Baptista, Aliadiere, Senderos, Denilson, Djourou, Rosicky.

Bolton (from): Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Gardner, Meite, Ben Haim, Speed, Faye, Davies, Anelka, Diouf, Walker, Giannakopoulos, Teymourian, Nolan, Tal, Thompson, Pedersen, Campo, Al Habsi.

Manchester City v Liverpool - 3pm
Micah Richards misses out for the fourth game running as Manchester City look to extend their unbeaten run to five matches. The England international is struggling with an ankle injury, as well as a calf problem which Stuart Pearce has confirmed will require surgery in the summer.

Pearce has ruled out the possibility of sending Richards for his operation early but in the meantime Nedum Onuoha will continue to deputise at full-back. Dietmar Hamann and Stephen Jordan both return for the Blues but Paul Dickov (knee) is out for another fortnight.

Liverpool are expected to recall their big guns, although Craig Bellamy will miss out with a knee injury sustained in the Champions League victory over Eindhoven in midweek.

Steven Gerrard, Steve Finnan, Jamie Carragher and Javier Mascherano all sat out the European match but should return at Eastlands. Dirk Kuyt was banned from the quarter-final second leg, but is expected to start against Stuart Pearce's side.
