Paul

John Terry returns for Chelsea ahead of the double Gameweek, though Rafa Benitez confirmed earlier that while the defender is in the squad, he will not start tomorrow’s game at Stoke. Petr Cech will travel with the squad to Stoke and will be assessed prior to the Britannia clash, while Benitez also revealed Demba Ba had a hamstring niggle in midweek and Fernando Torres was suffering from a stomach bug but both forwards are fully-fit once again:

Sergio Aguero is ruled out of City’s trip to Arsenal but could return in time for next weekend’s home clash with Fulham. David Moyes expects Leighton Baines to recover from an ankle problem in time for tomorrow’s home game with Swansea, though is continuing to monitor the left-back’s progress.

Nani and Anderson are back for United but Wayne Rooney remains on the sidelines as the league leaders welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford. Rooney could, however, return in time for next Wednesday’s FA Cup replay with West Ham. Aston Villa will be without Darren Bent, Marc Albrighton and Chris Herd for the visit of Southampton – Ron Vlaar has returned to training but Paul Lambert is wary of selecting him, due to a number of weeks on the sidelines.

Carlos Cuellar and Danny Rose are both sidelined with hamstring injuries for Sunderland, while Stephane Sessegnon should shrug off an ankle problem ahead of West Ham’s visit to the Stadium of Light. Martin Jol has ruled out Kerim Frei and Momo Diarra, while Steve Sidwell is a doubt for the Cottagers’ home game with Wigan.

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

    Just look at his stats Buddy. With Suarez. Gerrard will get a lot of assist and goals.
    
    He is taking the PK as well. Arsenal will get so tired with DGW and against big teams.

      Fair point. I'm getting Gerrard in after this weekends fixtures. But a Theo playing OoP, on most the set-pieces bar penalties and chasing a new contract meaning Wengers walking on egg-shells trying keeping him happy is a FPL must IMO.
      
      Walcott (c) for the DGW is a no-brainer really.

        Yes. I'm thinking Gerrard in with Mata or Walcott out for next week. That's what im still thinking. I will see what Gerrard can do against my team this week. even if he doesn't score anything but threatening for us I might think about Him.

Next week, Ba & Mariappa out for Ruiz & Evra.

  I would save your WC until GW 24...if you use it now or even next week you will be stuck with a cookie cut squad. GW 24 WC = better chance have incorporating some differentials. Only way I'd consider using a WC this week or next is if I still had my other WC.

      its like they just want to get one over the old manager, they know he wants him, everyone does, with 7 million they can strengthen the Center mid position or one could center back for cover, they are really strong on the wings as it is.

Those that are getting TWO Southampton defenders.......Are you retarded?? Fair enough getting one in if your on a WC as they are cheap and bench fodder that allow you to bolster your squad elsewhere. But TWO!! Southampton will not keep a CS in either of there games so not worth it IMO,

People just have DGW fever.

The same will apply next week for WHM bar they are slightly more resiliant and score regularly.

  Seemed to be getting quite a lot of stick on West Ham boards because Brazilian supporters at his former club had been giving him stick, saying he wasn't that great. His youtube compilation looked pretty classy though...

    Hmmm City are third best in the league for shots conceded in the box, Villa are second bottom. Southampton also overwhelmed Villa 4-1 in the reverse fixture. We do seem to have problems scoring against the biggest teams this year.

        I have literally no idea what happened to Liverpool at home to Villa, it's one of those inexplicably inconsistent performances.
        
        Looks like Puncheon getting 4-12ish points and Walcott getting 2-10ish points, to me.

        I was thinking about benching one of Michu and Fellaini yesterday, I don't see both getting points in a tight game between Everton and Swansea. It just seems hard to justify playing Walcott over one of them. You know how Arsenal have struggled to score against the biggest teams this season.
        
        I'd also be playing both Sagna and Walcott against City, surely this is not a very good bet?
        
        I might consider benching Fellaini. Just. Swansea defend very tight away.

  Hard choice, probably Lennon. Puncheon has Aston Villa's terrible defence and 2 points from Chelsea. Cazorla is Arsenal's best chance to beat City, with long shots and set pieces sure to go. Fellaini is usually involved in much of Everton's offensive play and if they score some (they look like they will), he is a good bet.
  
  But Fellaini's last match was only okay, and Lennon's in good form, so... I'd maybe coin toss between them.

Who do we think will partner RVP this weekend? Kagawa, Hernandez or Welbeck? I currently have Hernandez on the bench but something keeps niggling in the back of my head telling me that if Hernandez is assured a start he'll probably score well.

  Rooney. Watch SAF pull a rabbit out of the bag with him making a miraculous recovery, Nani too. He always does these things.

    This prediction of miraculous recoveries has been plastered around here for months, everytime a Utd player is returning from injury. And none have been correct so far

    I can't see myself benching Michu or Walcott to make way for him though. Kind of hoping he doesn't start in all actuality so I can just bench him 😉

      In a home game? Doubt it.
      
      Valencia better against the threat of GJ's runs forward too, and Young is nailed on the left right now.
