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.

    Betting-wise. Which home win would you fancy more?

    Soton v Norwich
    Stoke v Newcastle
    Swansea v West Brom
    Spurs v Liverpool?

        I think West Brom might be a bit of value for the away win @ 11/5.

      Not really, because Southampton wont get alot of CS, whilst Swansea are capable, specially at home. Tremmel will most likely last you until the January WC, which is all you really need.

      I have Begovic and Mignolet so not given any other keepers a thought. Not sure about Southampton CS though but I guess if you need to free up cash it's not a bad idea.

      Might work, with Cork back they've only conceded like 3 goals in 2 i think? good fixtures, and yes, more nailed on, but i'd only go short term, needa find a replacement after that, maybe Ruddy or Foster if they recover soon enough, already got Jaask and Bego cheap so not interested

    Definitely feeling my starting XI and captaincy will have a bigger effect on my points this GW than any transfer I could make.

    Begovic
    Baines Sagna Bardsley
    Mata Bale Fellaini Puncheon
    RVP (C) Rooney Lambert

    Subs: Foster, Sterling Boyce Demel

    Would not be surprised at all if Mata got nothing, tempted by Sterling over him. Equally tempted by Boyce over Sagna, can’t see Arsenal not conceding. Shouldn’t be swayed by prices if it’s points that matters.

    As for RVP (C)....

                  Fair enough. But the fixtures are poor, and it's not about the points he gets so much as it is the points you miss out in your front 8. I had him from GW2 and ditched before last GW. He's back in on the January WC though!

                You put Kompany and Nastasic the wrong way round, thus you are an irrelevant source

            Is anyone else being brave enough to captain Sess tonight? Was thinking of giving him the armband over Tevez. Someone please talk me out of it...

              I hate captains that play before everyone else. Imagine seeing Sessegnon (c) 4 points and everyone else has RVP, Rooney, Aguero, Tevez, Suarez etc. to come!

              That shouldn't affect your decision, but it does mine..so not for me 🙂

                Not got RVP, it's a choice between

                A) Tevez (Would assume he'll play after his rest at the weekend, didn't play CL last week either though, so you never know)
                B) Sess (nailed on, good form, strong home fixture)
                C) Silva (having only just come back from injury im not sure he's nailed on considering the games he's playing over the past fortnight)
                D) Mata (not sure about him because of potential Benitez negative tactics)

                Our squad is very limited; I'd expect Fellaini in to be the only change (unless Mirallas is fit).

                  Think Oveido looked great. Would like to see him get a run in the team. Maybe instead of naismith. With Fellaini in the hole.

              PLEASE HELP!

              Who do guys think is/are the most nailed out of QPR defenders?

              Will Harry change things? For example can Nelsen be dropped???
