Marouane Fellaini has a “good chance” of making Sunday’s Merseyside derby according to David Moyes. Pepe Reina is back in training following his recent hamstring problem and is expected to return between the sticks for Liverpool. Shinji Kagawa is ruled out for three to four with a twisted knee as Sir Alex Ferguson mulls over his plentiful options up front.
Frank Lampard won’t be turning out for Chelsea on Sunday; he’s been ruled out for a fortnight with a calf injury by Roberto Di Matteo earlier today. Meanwhile, Roberto Mancini hopes to calm the crisis talk with a win over Swansea – he’ll be without both David Silva and Pablo Zabaleta through hamstring injuries but rotation is expected nonetheless.
All this and more has been collected, collated and served in bite-size format, along with our predicted lineups, over in our team news section.
We’ll continue the updates up until the eleventh hour, with tomorrow’s Pre-Match preamble offering the teamsheet views from the press.
