Jason Puncheon returns in time for Palace’s cup clash with Reading this evening. Riyahd Mahrez has fully recovered from the cramp that led to his withdrawal at Watford, Shane Long is back for Southampton’s trip to Stoke, whilst Aaron Lennon remains a doubt as Everton square up to Chelsea in the last eight of the FA Cup.

Claudio Ranieri has confirmed that Riyad Mahrez has fully recovered from the cramp that saw him withdrawn late on against Watford last Saturday evening. Matty James is the only absentee for the Foxes clash with Newcastle on Monday.

Per Mertesacker and Gabriel have both recovered from the injuries that forced them off against Hull on Tuesday night. Laurent Koscielny has “a little chance” of making Sunday’s cup clash with Watford, whilst Arsene Wenger went on to reveal that Aaron Ramsey’s thigh problem is “a small alert”, though the Gunners have yet to establish a full prognosis.

Jason Puncheon is available for Palace’s cup clash with Reading tonight. Connor Wickham remains ruled out with a thigh injury and is expected back in time for the Gameweek 32 clash against West Ham in early April. Wayne Hennessey is back in contention after missing out with a minor injury last weekend.

Aaron Lennon is “progressing well” from a hamstring injury but remains a doubt for Everton’s cup clash with Chelsea. Bryan Oviedo is a doubt after picking up a chest infection, though Tom Cleverley and Gareth Barry have both recovered from similar complaints. Kevin Mirallas serves the first of a two-match ban for the Toffees.

Shane Long has recovered from a knee injury in time for Southampton’s trip to Stoke. Skipper Jose Fonte sits this one out after being sent off against Sunderland last week, whilst Jay Rodriguez is set to step up his fitness by turning out for the reserves next week.

Eddie Howe has confirmed that he’ll make a late decision on the fitness of Harry Arter. The Bournemouth boss revealed that Josh King is playing with a knock, though Junior Stanislas remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

All this and more has now been updated in the Team News section ahead of tomorrow’s deadline. Keep an eye on our official Twitter Stream for breaking news – as the day unfolds, we will issue updates from Friday’s press conferences and refresh our Team News tab accordingly to keep you informed.

    So I screwed my team by having NO Mahrez and 3x LEI a while back. 2FTs and currently with 8 playing. So should I:

    a) Take a hit to shift Huth and Bring Mahrez & Silva In for Sanchez & Payet
    b) Buy a big sofa, use 2FTs to just bring in Siggy & Silva, keeping Huth and no Mahrez

    Prophet that's a crazy idea...

    Imagine if FPL introduced a 25% cap on player ownership next year?

    First 25% of managers to own a player have first dibs on their points.. latecomers have to look elsewhere.. They'd have to delete dead teams (or just not count them?) but it would completely change the dynamic of the game.

    Goals conceded in their last five;

    Villa = 15
    New = 12
    Nor = 8

    Starting with Villa, they sit at the bottom of the table and meet Spurs who are a little off at the moment - main goal threat is Harry Kane who has only scored 2 in 5. Spurs have scored 9 goals in their last 5 away games.

    Managerless Newcastle meet Leicester at the King Power - 12 goals conceded in their last 5 as well as 11 goals in their last 5 away games make this look the most appealing game for a captaincy shout. Mahrez or Vardy, but who? Vardy only has one goal in his last 5 while Mahrez has two goals and two assists. Vardy on spot kicks however.

    Norwich come up against City at home. Norwich have became much more defensively minded of late conceding only 8 goals in their last 5 (a few weeks ago I remember it was 16 goals in 5) - City's form away from home is questionable but with Sergio Aguero in explosive form it may be dangerous taking the captaincy from him. Aguero has played a lot of football with very little rest but with City chasing I'd say he will definitely play at least 70 minutes.

    Based on the numbers and logic, in my opinion this is order of captain candidacy choice;

    Mahrez
    Kane
    Vardy
    Aguero

      Newcastle not technically managerless, though are they? Which might end up being worse. Caretakers often grind out an unexpectedly tight result (remember Keith Millen at Palace and Sbragia at Sunderland a few years back doing it against Man Utd I think), so I'm on Kane right now. If Newcastle still have a dead man walking in McClaren in the dugout on Monday, I'll lump on one of the Leicester boys, though.
