All matches 3pm unless stated

Sunday

West Ham United v Bolton Wanderers (1.30pm)

West Ham look set to retain the team which defeated Fulham for Sunday's Barclays Premier League clash with Bolton.

Defenders James Tomkins and James Collins have been out with knee injuries but are close to full fitness and are expected to return next weekend.

Dean Ashton, the West Ham striker, is sidelined after undergoing ankle surgery with no date set for his comeback.

Gary Megson, the Bolton manager, has a full-strength squad available

Matthew Taylor is fully fit after recovering from a broken toe and is pushing for a starting berth on the left side of midfield.

He could replace Ricardo Gardner, with the Jamaican possibly dropping back to left-back at the expense of Jlloyd Samuel.

West Ham (from): Green, Behrami, Upson, Neill, Ilunga, Faubert, Noble, Parker, Etherington, Di Michele, Sears, Cole, Lastuvka, Lopez, Davenport, Reid, Mullins, Boa Morte, Collison.

Bolton (from): Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Cahill, Shittu, A O'Brien, Samuel, Gardner, Muamba, Nolan, McCann, J O'Brien, Smolarek, Elmander, Davies, Helguson, Riga, Hunt, Vaz Te, Cohen, Fojut, Al Habsi.

Chelsea v Aston Villa

Didier Drogba's knee injury rules him out of Chelsea's Barclays Premier League clash against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

The striker joins Deco (thigh), Ricardo Carvalho (knee) and Michael Essien (knee) on the sidelines.

Ashley Cole (back), Joe Cole (hip), Alex (buttock) and John Terry (back) all are hopeful of being fit but may require late checks.

John Carew and Gabriel Agbonlahor, the Aston Villa strikers, have both been declared fit for the clash.

Carew and Agbonlahor were left out of the Uefa Cup tie with Litex Lovech in midweek as a precautionary measure as they were suffering with slight groin and thigh problems respectively. O'Neill is expected to revert to the same line-up which has featured in the previous six league games this season.

In addition to Carew and Agbonlahor, that will also mean recalls for Martin Laursen, fellow defender Curtis Davies and the midfield duo of Gareth Barry and Nigel Reo-Coker.

Chelsea (from): Cech, Ivanovic, A Cole, Lampard, Di Santo, J Cole, Mikel, Ballack, Malouda, Sinclair, Bosingwa, Bridge, Ferreira, Kalou, Cudicini, Terry, Alex, Belletti, Anelka, Hilario, Stoch, Mancienne.

Aston Villa (from): Friedel, Luke Young, Laursen, Davies, Shorey, Reo-Coker, Barry, Petrov, Ashley Young, Carew, Agbonlahor, Guzan, Milner, Cuellar, Gardner, Osbourne, Knight, Harewood, Salifou, Routledge.

Manchester City v Liverpool

Mark Hughes will monitor Richard Dunne's fitness ahead of the match against Liverpool.

The Republic of Ireland central defender was forced to sit out the Uefa Cup victory over AC Omonia because of a hamstring problem. Martin Petrov has recovered from a similar problem and is pushing for a place in the starting line-up after coming off the bench.

Javier Mascherano is expected to return to Liverpool's starting line-up. Rafael Benitez left Mascherano on the bench against PSV Eindhoven in midweek in preparation for the trip to Eastlands.

Ryan Babel picked up a minor leg injury in the match while Fernando Torres suffered a bruised calf - but both are expected to be available. Liverpool will hope to extend a run of only one defeat - against Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final in April - in their last 22 matches, stretching back to March.

Man City (from): Hart, Zabaleta, Richards, Dunne, Ben Haim, Garrido, Ball, Elano, Kompany, Ireland, Hamann, Fernandes, Petrov, Wright-Phillips, Robinho, Jo, Schmeichel, Evans, Sturridge, Glauber, Etuhu.

Liverpool (from): Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Agger, Hyypia, Skrtel, Aurelio, Dossena, Babel, Gerrard, Mascherano, Alonso, Benayoun, Riera, Torres, Kuyt, Keane, Lucas, Cavalieri.

Portsmouth v Stoke City

Harry Redknapp, the Portsmouth manager, is without the suspended Lassana Diarra for his side's Premier League clash with Stoke, after the midfielder was sent off against Tottenham last weekend.

Redknapp also has injury concerns over fellow midfielders Papa Bouba Diop (hamstring) and John Utaka (knee) following Portsmouth's UEFA Cup victory over Vitoria Guimaraes.

Sean Davis should keep his place following his return from injury while new signings Younes Kaboul, Arnold Mvuemba and Glen Little are pressing their claims for inclusion.

Portsmouth (from): James Johnson, Kaboul, Distin, Belhadj, Campbell, Hreidarsson, Hreidarsson, Davis, Little, Mvuemba, Hughes, A Traore, Defoe, Crouch, Nugent, Kanu, D Traore, Utaka, Diop, Thomas, Ashdown.

Tottenham Hotspur v Hull City

Tottenham will have Roman Pavlyuchenko and Vedran Corluka available for the match against Hull at White Hart Lane.

Alan Hutton (foot) is out, while skipper Ledley King could be rested after playing against Wisla Krakow in the Uefa Cup this week. Gareth Bale and Luka Modric returned to action against Wisla.

Marlon King, the Hull striker, looks doubtful to start on Sunday.

King has been unable to train all week but Phil Brown, the Hull manager, is hoping he can prove his fitness in a session tomorrow.

Former Tottenham defender Anthony Gardner is in contention after overcoming a thigh injury but Brown insists he will not rush him back if not 100%.

Another Tottenham old boy, Nick Barmby, has recovered from a calf strain but new signing Stelios Giannakopoulos (thigh) is ruled out.

Tottenham (from): Gomes, Bale, Zokora, Bentley, Huddlestone, Lennon, Jenas, Bent, Gilberto, Modric, Gunter, Giovani, Dawson, O'Hara, King, Assou-Ekotto, Woodgate, Cesar, Campbell, Pavlyuchenko, Corluka.

Hull (from): Myhill, McShane, Zayatte, Turner, Dawson, Marney, Boateng, Geovanni, Ashbee, Cousin, Mendy, King, Garcia, Hughes, Halmosi, Ricketts, Barmby, Gardner, Windass, Folan, Duke.

Everton v Newcastle United (4pm)

Tim Cahill will miss Sunday'sclash with Newcastle and there are also slight doubts over Phil Neville and Louis Saha.

Cahill will begin a three-match ban following his sending off in the Merseyside derby last week while Neville and Saha both picked up knocks in the Uefa Cup defeat at Standard Liege.

Tony Hibbert suffered severe cramp in the same match but is expected to be fit.

Joe Kinnear could be handed a triple boost as he prepares for the trip to Everton.

Kinnear, who will complete his own two-game touchline ban at Goodison Park, will welcome back Danny Guthrie from suspension, while Jose Enrique (hamstring) and Habib Beye (Achilles) have a chance of making the squad.

Jonas Gutierrez (fractured collarbone) has returned from Argentina and could be back for Manchester City's visit to St James' Park on October 20, but Mark Viduka (Achilles) is out for another six weeks and Alan Smith (stress fracture) three months. In addition, Ignacio Gonzalez (hamstring) and the suspended Joey Barton are still missing.

Everton (from): Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Lescott, Baines, Neville, Yobo, Osman, Arteta, Yakubu, Saha, Anichebe, Pienaar, Nash, Castillo, Nuno Valente, Rodwell.

Newcastle (from): Given, Harper, Beye, Edgar, Enrique, N'Zogbia, Taylor, Coloccini, Cacapa, Bassong, Tozer, Butt, Guthrie, Geremi, Duff, Donninger, Owen, Xisco, Ameobi, Donaldson, Ranger, Danquah.
