Team News November 9

The Weekend Team News

Alan Pardew reveals Demba Ba’s shin injury “looks fine” ahead of Sunday’s clash with former club West Ham. Nani is ruled out for the next 10 days for United, while Jonny Evans remains a doubt for tomorrow’s trip to Villa Park.

Roberto Di Matteo has confirmed John Terry is in a “good position” to be involved for Sunday’s game with Liverpool, though the clash is “probably too soon” for Ashley Cole.

David Platt took over press conference duties for City today and revealed David Silva, Joleon Lescott and Maicon are “all available for selection at this moment in time” ahead of Spurs’ visit on Sunday.

James Collins and James Tomkins face fitness tests for the Hammers, though Guy Demel will return to the squad, according to Sam Allardyce.

All today’s news has been collected and rolled out along with our predicted lineups, over in the team news section.

We’ll continue the updates up until the eleventh hour, with tomorrow’s Pre-Match preamble offering the teamsheet views from the press.

As always, keep an eye on our Twitter feed for the very latest.

As Cole and Wilson are both injured and won’t play on the weekend I was thinking of one of the following:

1) Cole->Rafael
2)Cole->Baines
3)Wilson->Wilkinson

Which do you think is the best? Thanks!

2 free transfers, 0.0m in the bank.

Foster, Federici
Clyne, Rafael, S. Taylor, Hangeland, Cuellar
Pienaar, Cazorla, Michu, Bale, Noble
RVP, Tevez, Crouch

What should I do?

I was thinking Bale -> Mata but I'm open to transfer suggestions

Subs. Sterling, Clark, Demel.

1 ft, 0.3m in bank.

Heads up to anyone who still owns Fletcher but thinking of getting rid, he’s due to fall tonight. You may lose value if you leave it till tomorrow.

  I wouldn't be surprised if he scores against Everton, they won't not score forever and Fletcher converts most/all of his shots on target. Everton tend to concede. I have Fletcher but more urgent transfers as at least 2 of my players won't play this weekend due to being injured.

Baines.... think it's a decent time to ship out after Everton's next 3 games?

They then have: ARSENAL Man Ciy SPURS stoke west ham WIGAN CHELSEA

All of those games could be tricky, with Wigan recently improving and Stoke/West Ham being decent on their own patch.
