Glenn Whelan is a doubt for Tony Pulis' Stoke City side, while Scott Parker is missing for West Ham United.
Youngster Jack Collison could replace the suspended Parker in the center of midfield for Gianfranco Zola's side, although the fit again Valon Behrami could also fulfill that role.
Junior Stanislas is pushing to start in support of lone striker Carlton Cole for West Ham Utd in place of Zavon Hines.
Whelan aside, Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has a fully fit squad to call upon.
The Stoke manager could recall Ireland international Liam Lawrence in place of Salif Diao in midfield with Ricardo Fuller and James Beattie again being the preferred attacking partnership.
Turkey international Tuncay Sanli, who was on international duty in midweek, is set for a place on the bench alongside fellow striker Dave Kitson.
