Glen Johnson, Jose Enrique and Pepe Reina are all available for Liverpool’s trip to the Emirates on Wednesday. Vincent Kompany is set to be sidelined for around two to three weeks according to David Platt, while City’s defence was dealt another blow by the news that Matija Nastasic is a doubt for tomorrow’s trip to QPR due to a knee problem.

Carlos Cuellar, Danny Rose and Lee Cattermole are unlikely to return for Sunderland’s home clash with Swansea, though Martin O’Neill will assess the trio tomorrow. Seb Bassong and Steven Whittaker are both available for Norwich, bolstering the Canaries’ backline ahead of Tottenham’s visit on Wednesday evening.

Adam Lallana may be involved for Southampton at United, while new boy Vegard Forren could be set for a debut at centre-half. Fabian Delph is a doubt for Villa with the ankle injury that forced him off at Millwall in the FA Cup on Friday evening, though Nathan Baker is expected to return. Harry Redknapp has revealed Shaun Wright-Phillips and Junior Hoilett are doubts for QPR, while Bobby Zamora seems set for a bench spot as he builds up his fitness.

Alan Pardew confirmed earlier that Moussa Sissoko will start for Newcastle against Villa but admitted he has “tough decisions to make elsewhere” as he looks to integrate a number of new signings.

All this and more is collected and collated in our team news section, where you’ll also find our updated predicted lineups.

We’ll keep you informed of any new information via our twitter feed, as always.

    Any good moves to consider with 1.9M in the bank?

    Bego - Federici
    Clichy - Rafael - Dawson - Pierce - Davies
    Mata - Bale - Walcott - Fellaini - Puncheon
    RVP - Fletcher - Dzeko

      Would save a transfer there tbh.

        Thanks.

        I'm on WC, but I'm thinking about keeping the bank, so i can do a straight upgrade somewhere with 1FT.

          Oh right maybe just upgrade a def for a bit then. Maybe punt on Baines instead of Clichy, save a transfer then in 2 weeks downgrade him and upgrade a striker for free.

    To go with City defensive cover now or wait until later? The injuries are slightly putting me off now...

    Lots of talk about TV not good enough for 2nd wc and concerns these teams wil suffer for it. In this case since the intro of the jan wc is it now a good tactic to chase tv in the first half of the season? I've done that as a plan this season but my rank at the moment is poor (70,000 approx). Am I in the minority though? Is there a lot out there with high tv's and decent ranks?

      No, he's not when Ruddy is fit.
      There's also a new keeper coming in.

      I would stretch to Federici.
