John Terry returns for Chelsea to replace Alex at the back who has gone under the knife for his knee injury. Frank Lampard remains sidelined. Phil Jagielka is a doubt for opponents Everton ahead of the Stamford Bridge clash. Samir Nasri is fit to take his place in the Arsenal side as they prepare for the visit of Fulham. Michael Dawson is back in the Spurs squad with Harry Redknapp hinting at a bench role for the trip to Birmingham. The home side will be without Alexander Hleb as he faces a three-week absence with a hamstring injury. Morten Gamst-Pedersen is fit to resume his strong run of form for Blackburn against Wolves at Ewood…

All that lot, plus plenty of other crumbs of knowledge from around the Premier League press conferences have been collected for you and placed lovingly in our Team News section, along with our predicted lineups. We will keep you updated on any fresh stuff via our Twitter feed.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Afternoon chaps..

      Current side is
      Foster (Jaask)
      Foley, Elmo, Dann (Jags, Williamson)
      Nasri, Malouda, N’Zog, Cahill (Fletcher)
      Tevez, Carroll, K. Davies

      Need to swap a Def for a start and wondering Kolarov or Kyrgiakos?

      Also would a swap for “now called off United player” Fletcher and a 4pt hit be worth it?

      Hey everyone,

      My team at the moment is:

      Foster, Krul
      Vidic, Bosingwa, Coleman, Dann, Konchesky
      Adam, Nasri, Nani, Van Der Vaart, Cahill
      Tevez, Elmander, Carroll

      I have 1 free transfer and 4.6 in the bank.

      Just noticed someone saying that Nasri is also a doubt for the Arsenal game!

      Which of these would you do:

      A. Van Der Vaart and Coleman OUT, Bale and Kolarov IN.

      B. Van Der Vaart OUT, Lampard IN.

      Or if there are any other suggestions anyone has, they will be much appreciated. Especially now that the Man United game has been called off.

        D. Adam, Van Der Vaart and Coleman OUT, Malouda, Bale and Kolarov IN - this one would be an 8 pt hit though and would leave me nothing in the bank.

      Nani Cleverley Bale Arteta Fab
      Berb KDavies Gyan

      I have 5 definite non starters and one probable 20 min sub (Gyan). Is it worth taking out say Berbatov and Arteta or any combination of two not playing to secure a starting 11 or just do one transfer and field 10?

        Bit ruthless taking out Berba after he just got you 25 points! Then again, he's not guaranteed to start v Arsenal and Chelsea. Arteta definitely misses the next 3, so he's got to go.

        I think it's worth a 4 point hit to field 11, esp with a lot of your big guns out.

      Looking at taking VdV out, won't do it until I know which games are on/off.

      However, I can get any midfielder (I already have Cahill, Nani, Jarvis, Nolan), who would you recommend?

      For some reason I am looking at Kuyt, otherwise maybe Dunn. Anyone else for the short-mid term? Someone to take me through to the Jan wildcard.
