Theo Walcott is back for Arsenal after missing out at the weekend with a shoulder problem. Andre Wisdom has recovered from a knee knock and is available for Liverpool’s trip to Tottenham.

Gael Clichy stays on the sidelines for City with a foot problem and is likely to miss out this weekend, too, according to David Platt.

Ben Foster has been ruled out of West Brom’s next two games with Swansea and Stoke by Steve Clarke and may require further surgery. Jonas Olsson and Youssouf Mulumbu are both doubts for the Baggies tomorrow night.

Stoke are hopeful that Andy Wilkinson will be back for the weekend, though tomorrow’s clash with Newcastle comes too soon for the full-back, while George McCartney faces a late fitness test ahead of West Ham’s trip to United.

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.

          Over the last 4 meetings the score is 8-1 Spurs. They have a bit of a hoodoo on Liverpool. i fancy a close game with some goals. 1-1 or 2-1

            Lacking a sunderland player and although they were poor against west brom, sess put in a confident display and was lively throughout. He is a proven fantasy asset and has the fixtures to turn it around. Have Baines but very worried to shed fellaini

                    I ditched before the price drop, so sold him for 5.1. Now I can get him back in the Jan WC at a profit or at least break even 😀

                😀 I am going to have to keep him and deal with the losses unless there is a week with no other concerns before the January WC which I highly doubt there will be with my current lot)
