The Weekend Team News

Jose Enrique requires a late fitness test ahead of Liverpool’s home clash with Villa, though Brendan Rodgers reveals the left-back will return next week at the latest. Gareth Bale remains “very unlikely” to feature for Spurs against Swansea this Sunday according to Andre Villas-Boas. Nemanja Vidic is back in the United squad but Jonny Evans misses out with a hamstring injury for the visit of Sunderland.

Robert Mancini reckons Vincent Kompany has “a 2% chance” of shrugging off a groin problem in time for City’s trip to Newcastle. Olivier Giroud is back for Arsenal, though Arsene Wenger remains uncertain over Theo Walcott’s chances of making it for Monday’s trip to Reading.

Kevin Mirallas could be out for a few weeks after suffering a recurrence of his hamstring injury, Ben Foster returns to training ahead of West Brom’s Hawthorns showdown with West Ham, while Julio Cesar is “fit and available” for QPR’s London derby with Fulham.

We’ve collected all this in our team news section and added our current predicted lineups for the weekend ahead. You can keep in touch with the very latest via our twitter feed as always.

    This would leave me with 3.4m in the bank; enough to turn Nolan into Mata or Bale next week.

        My heart will go to them a lot faster when they ban the right to bear arms.

          Don't think that will happen unfortunately. They're still unsure of the Brits taking over again!

      I fear they won't. It's all about money. No man needs a machine gun for "self defense".

      looks like he'll drop. if you use internet explorer, fiso doesn't refresh, you need to shut down browser. this doesn't happen on chrome. i have absolutely no idea why

    begovic

    enrique (?), cuellar, b jones(?), shorey, demel

    bale(X), cazorla, michu, sessegnon, sterling

    rvp, tevez, lambert (X) 1.4 in bank, no FTs

    could easily not have a proper XI, can anyone think of a more promising 4 point hit than lambert->berbatov (qpr)? must win h2h for my awful season!!!

    Can't decide between Sagna and Caulker. I already have Gibbs so I know Sagna wouldn't be a popular choice with a lot of people but worried about Caulker's rotation risk..
