Alexis Sanchez is available for Arsenal’s home match with Leicester. Cesc Fabregas could return for Chelsea tomorrow evening. Raheem Sterling and Philippe Coutinho are expected to recover from knocks in time for Liverpool’s clash with Spurs tonight, whilst Adam Johnson is now fully fit for Sunderland.

Alexis Sanchez “will be back in the group” to face Leicester this evening, Arsene Wenger has confirmed. Arsenal remain without Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, whilst Jack Wilshere is expected to return to training at some point this week.

Jose Mourinho has revealed that Cesc Fabregas could return for Chelsea’s home clash with Everton after he chose to protect the Spaniard’s hamstring by resting him away to Villa last weekend.

Raheem Sterling (foot) and Philippe Coutinho (knee) are both expected to recover in time for Tottenham’s visit, whilst Brendan Rodgers is optimistic on Adam Lallana’s chances of recovering from a groin complaint. The Reds were dealt a blow, though, after Lucas was ruled out with the thigh injury that forced him off early on at Goodison on Saturday.

Yaya Toure and Wilfried Bony will miss City’s trip to Stoke tomorrow evening. The duo will travel to Ivory Coast to celebrate their victory over Ghana in Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations final.

Adam Johnson has been deemed fully fit by Gus Poyet, after only making the bench last weekend as a result of minor thumb surgery. Connor Wickham has recovered from injury, though Emmanuele Giaccherini and Jack Rodwell are doubtful for the home clash against QPR. Billy Jones is available again after missing out through injury at the weekend.

QPR caretaker boss Chris Ramsey has confirmed Rio Ferdinand and Bobby Zamora will start against the Black Cats, with the likes of Richard Dunne, Nedum Onouha and Charlie Austin all ruled out through injury. Ramsey also revealed Mauro Zarate is in contention to be named in the first XI.

Wayne Routledge has returned to full training for Swansea after recovering from a calf complaint, whilst Modou Barrow is expected to shrug off a knee knock in time to face West Brom tomorrow.

All this and more has now been updated in the Team News section ahead of this evening’s 7.30pm deadline. Keep an eye on our official Twitter Stream as breaking news unfolds.

    If Wisdom is benched I'll be left with 2 defenders. Shall I take my first hit of the year to go Debuchy to Bellerin?

      Here is my take on the captaincy:

      Giroud - Very likely to get you SOMETHING, a goal or an assist etc, very small chance of big score however. A safe choice but you will have the fear of missing something big.

      Sanchez & Aguero - Both more punty than Giroud, higher chance of blank (Aguero form, Sanchez coming back from injury) but also a higher chance of large returns. If they fire then they are the main men for their teams, any goal basically = BPS.

      Hazard - Everton not as leaky these days so I predict a lower score than Arsenal/City. That said there is a good chance he will be involved in any goals in some way, form better than Ageuro/Sanchez.

      Defoe - Read Giroud but with less chances. Excellent chance of a goal.

      Kane - Who knows, wouldn't dream of normally captaining Liverpool away but Kane seems to throw fixtures out the window. Best of luck to you if you have the balls.

      It's gonna be exciting....
