Premier League New Year's Day Team News

Note: Team news will be updated as soon as information is released by the respective clubs. 

Wigan vs Manchester United

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez has no fresh injury worries ahead of Tuesday's clash with Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester United at the DW Stadium.

The Latics' injury problems finally appear to be waning, with defender Ivan Ramis coming through a full match against Aston Villa on Saturday with no problems after a hamstring injury.

Midfielders Ben Watson (broken leg), Albert Crusat (knee) and Ryo Miyaichi (ankle) and defender Adrian Lopez (hamstring) are all still out but defender Antolin Alcaraz may be available for the FA Cup clash with Bournemouth on Saturday after recovering from a long-term groin problem.

Provisional squad: Al Habsi, Pollitt, Boyce, Caldwell, Ramis, Figueroa, Beausejour, Jones, Maloney, McCarthy, McArthur, Stam, McManaman, Di Santo, Boselli, Kone, Fyvie, Redmond, Mustoe, Orsula, Morris.

Full-back Rafael is expected to return from a four-match absence with a hamstring injury when Manchester United visit Wigan on Tuesday.

Phil Jones could also be available as United manager Sir Alex Ferguson once again prepares to rotate his squad.

Ferguson noted Michael Carrick was particularly tired after Saturday's win at West Brom, whilst top scorer Robin van Persie seems certain to be recalled.

Provisional squad: Lindegaard, De Gea, Rafael, Jones, Smalling, Vidic, Wootton, Ferdinand, Evans, Buttner, Evra, Cleverley, Giggs, Fletcher, Scholes, Tunnicliffe, Carrick, Kagawa, Young, Hernandez, Welbeck, Van Persie.

West Ham vs Norwich

Norwich midfielder Bradley Johnson will serve a one-match ban for the Barclays Premier League trip to West Ham on New Year's Day after collecting a fifth yellow card.

Striker Steve Morison (thigh) is doubtful after limping off in the 4-3 home defeat by Manchester City, as is captain Grant Holt (hamstring), so on-loan Tottenham forward Harry Kane could lead the attack.

Defender Steven Whittaker (hip) and winger Andrew Surman (hip) continue their rehabilitation, while England goalkeeper John Ruddy (thigh) also remains sidelined.

Provisional Squad: Bunn, Garrido, Turner, Bassong, Martin, Tettey, Howson, Snodgrass, Pilkington, Hoolahan, Kane, Rudd, E Bennett, R Bennett, Barnett, Jackson, Fox, Holt, Morison.

West Ham will be without suspended captain Kevin Nolan for their Barclays Premier League clash with Norwich.

The Hammers have won just one of their last eight league games and top goalscorer Nolan will miss out after picking up a fifth booking of the season at Reading on Saturday.

Defender James Collins is also missing through suspension with injured duo Andy Carroll (knee) and Mohamed Diame (hamstring) also not in contention.

Provisional squad: Jaaskelainen, Spiegel, O'Brien, Reid, Tomkins, McCartney, Spence, Demel, Moncur, Taylor, Noble, Collison, Diarra, Lletget, Jarvis, O'Neil, Vaz Te, Maiga, Cole.

Manchester City vs Stoke

Manchester City will not have forward Samir Nasri available for their New Year's Day Barclays Premier League clash with Stoke after they decided not to appeal against his sending-off at Norwich.

Striker Mario Balotelli (virus) is not yet ready to return while full-backs Aleksandar Kolarov and Maicon (knee) also remain on the sidelines.

Defender Micah Richards (knee) and midfielder Jack Rodwell (hamstring) are still long-term casualties.

Provisional squad: Hart, Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Lescott, K Toure, Clichy, Rekik, Nasri, Silva, Milner, Sinclair, Y Toure, Barry, Garcia, Tevez, Aguero, Dzeko, Razak.Stoke midfielder Steven Nzonzi will be available for Tuesday's trip to Manchester City after the club appealed against the red card he received in Saturday's 3-3 draw with Southampton.

Stoke midfielder Steven Nzonzi will be available for Tuesday's trip to Manchester City after the club appealed against the red card he received in Saturday's 3-3 draw with Southampton.

Captain Ryan Shawcross and full-back Geoff Cameron are both likely to return after serving one-match bans, while defenders Robert Huth and Andy Wilkinson should also play despite a clash of heads on Saturday that forced Wilkinson off with concussion.

Boss Tony Pulis may choose to freshen things up and could recall midfielder Charlie Adam to the starting line-up for the first time since the death of his father earlier this month.

Provisional squad: Begovic, Shotton, Shawcross, Cameron, Huth, Upson, Wilkinson, Whelan, Nzonzi, Walters, Kightly, Etherington, Jones, Sorensen, Whitehead, Crouch, Jerome, Adam, Palacios, Owen.

Swansea vs Aston Villa

Swansea striker Michu will undergo a late fitness test on his ankle problem to determine his availability for the New Year's Day meeting with Aston Villa at the Liberty Stadium.

The Spaniard missed the 2-1 win at Fulham but is in with a chance of being involved against Villa, while Angel Rangel is also a doubt with a calf problem.

Laudrup could decide to keep Danny Graham up front after the striker scored the opener at Craven Cottage, while Ben Davies, Chico Flores, Michel Vorm and Leon Britton could all be restored to the starting line-up after being rested.

Provisional squad: Vorm, Bartley, Flores, Williams, Britton, Lita, Michu, Graham, Hernandez, Dyer, Routledge, Monk, Shechter, Moore, De Guzman, Tiendalli, Rangel, Ki, Tremmel, Agustien, Gower, Richards, Davies.

Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph will return after suspension for Tuesday's Barclays Premier League encounter with Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.

But Villa's lengthy injury list shows little sign of improving as they look to recover from three heavy defeats in which they have conceded 15 goals against Chelsea, Tottenham and Wigan.

Striker Darren Bent (hamstring) and Gabriel Agbonlahor (thigh), winger Charles N'Zogbia (knee) and defenders Ron Vlaar (calf), Nathan Baker (hamstring) and long-term casualty Richard Dunne (knee) remain sidelined.

Provisional squad: Guzan, Given, Lowton, Herd, Clark, Lichaj, Stevens, Bennett, Ireland, Westwood, El Ahmadi, Bannan, Delph, Albrighton, Holman, Benteke, Bowery, Weimann, Burke, Johnson, Williams, Carruthers.

Tottenham vs Reading

Gareth Bale's latest controversial booking for diving has earned him a suspension for Tottenham's New Year's Day clash with Reading.

Bale picked up his third yellow card of the season for simulation in Saturday's win at Sunderland - his fifth domestic caution overall - and will sit out Tuesday's Barclays Premier League game.

The trip to the Stadium of Light came too soon for Clint Dempsey (groin) and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) but the fit-again Scott Parker made another substitute appearance and Tom Huddlestone was on the bench.

Provisional squad: Friedel, Lloris, Walker, Naughton, Assou-Ekotto, Gallas, Caulker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Lennon, Sigurdsson, Livermore, Sandro, Huddlestone, Dembele, Parker, Dempsey, Adebayor, Defoe.

Reading boss Brian McDermott could stick with the same starting line-up for the third game running as they travel to face Tottenham on New Year's Day.

The Royals have taken four points from their previous two Barclays Premier League fixtures and, despite the fixture pile-up, McDermott could keep faith with the side who have faired well of late.

Defender Sean Morrison returned to the bench for Saturday's win over West Ham after recovering from an ankle injury, although Jason Roberts (hip) is unlikely to feature with Alex McCarthy (shoulder) a long-term absentee.

Provisional squad: Federici, Taylor, Gunter, Cummings, Gorkss, Pearce, Morrison, Mariappa, Shorey, Harte, McAnuff, Guthrie, Leigertwood, Tabb, Karacan, Kebe, McCleary, Robson-Kanu, Le Fondre, Hunt, Pogrebnyak.

Southampton vs Arsenal

Southampton will again be without captain Adam Lallana when Arsenal visit St Mary's Tuesday.

The severity of the 24-year-old's knee injury is being kept under wraps, although manager Nigel Adkins has admitted he will not be able to face the Gunners.

Right-back Nathaniel Clyne is a doubt with a knee complaint that forced him to miss Saturday's 3-3 draw at Stoke.

Provisional squad: K Davis, Gazzaniga, Boruc, Richardson, Butterfield, Stephens, Clyne, Fox, Shaw, Yoshida, Hooiveld, Fonte, Reeves, Ward-Prowse, Do Prado, Cork, Chaplow, De Ridder, Ramirez, Schneiderlin, S Davis, Puncheon, Lee, Lambert, Rodriguez, Mayuka.

Arsenal centre-back Per Mertesacker could be available after illness for the New Year's Day trip to Southampton.

Czech midfielder Tomas Rosicky was left on the bench for Saturday's 7-3 win over Newcastle, so may also come back into contention to feature at St Mary's.

Defender Andre Santos (stomach muscle) and midfielder Abou Diaby (thigh) are expected to start training again this week.

Provisional Squad: Szczesny, Gibbs, Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Sagna, Arteta, Cazorla, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podolski, Walcott, Mannone, Ramsey, Coquelin, Giroud, Gervinho, Djourou, Jenkinson, Arshavin.

West Brom vs Fulham

West Brom head coach Steve Clarke will check on the fitness of several key players ahead of the home Barclays Premier League clash with Fulham.

Defenders Jonas Olsson (groin), Steven Reid (ankle) and Goran Popov (hamstring) and midfielders Youssouf Mulumbu and Claudio Yacob (both hamstring) all missed the 2-0 defeat at Manchester United.

Midfielder George Thorne could make another start against the Cottagers after impressing at Old Trafford following his recall from a loan spell at Peterborough.

Provisional squad: Foster, Myhill, Daniels, Jones, Reid, McAuley, Olsson, Tamas, Dawson, Ridgewell, Popov, Mulumbu, Yacob, Dorrans, Thorne, Brunt, Morrison, Gera, Odemwingie, Fortune, Long, Lukaku, Rosenberg.

Fulham were on Monday hoping Mark Schwarzer would be fit to return for their New Year's Day clash at West Brom.

David Stockdale had a nightmare deputising for the injured Schwarzer (neck) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Swansea, and manager Martin Jol was keeping his fingers crossed his number one would be back at The Hawthorns Tuesday.

Damien Duff is battling to be fit but the game is set to come too soon for Mahamadou Diarra and Mladen Petric.

Provisional squad: Schwarzer, Stockdale, Etheridge, Riether, Kelly, Hangeland, Hughes, Senderos, Riise, Dejagah, Baird, Sidwell, Karagounis, Kacaniklic, Kasami, Duff, Ruiz, Rodallega, Berbatov.

Chelsea vs QPR

Chelsea will be without captain John Terry and goalkeeper Petr Cech for tomorrow's west London derby against QPR.

Cech suffered a groin injury at Everton on Sunday so Ross Turnbull will start just his fifth Barclays Premier League game for the Blues in goal.

Defender Terry is still struggling to overcome his knee injury while midfielder John Obi Mikel (knee) and Ryan Bertrand (groin) are also doubts.

Provisional squad: Turnbull, Azpilicueta, Ferreira, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Bertrand, Lampard, Ramires, Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Moses, Marin, Piazon, Torres, Hilario.

QPR boss Harry Redknapp has said he will be without three or four players for the short trip to face Chelsea in the Barclays Premier League.

Redknapp reckons a number of his squad picked up knocks during Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool but refused to give away any names.

Park Ji-sung returned to training yesterday but remains a major doubt as he recovers from a knee problem, while strikers Andrew Johnson (knee) and Bobby Zamora (hip) are sidelined with long-term injuries.

Provisional squad: Green, Cesar, Murphy, Cerny, Onuoha, Hill, Nelsen, Ferdinand, Mbia, Park, Fabio, Traore, Derry, Diakite, Granero, Taarabt, Hoilett, Faurlin, Wright-Phillips, Ephraim, Mackie, Cisse.

Newcastle vs Everton

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has suffered another defensive blow as he prepares for Wednesday night's tough Barclays Premier League clash with Everton.

Pardew will welcome back central defender Mike Williamson from a one-game ban but will be without full-back Danny Simpson for up to four games after he broke a toe in Saturday's 7-3 defeat at Arsenal.

Central defender Steven Taylor (hamstring) and midfielder Yohan Cabaye (groin surgery) have returned to training but are still some way away from being available, while full-back Ryan Taylor (knee) and midfielders Vurnon Anita (ankle), Hatem Ben Arfa (hamstring) and Jonas Gutierrez, Dan Gosling and Haris Vuckic (all knee) are still out.

Provisional squad: Krul, Elliot, Harper, Santon, Ferguson, Tavernier, Coloccini, Williamson, Perch, Streete, Tiote, Bigirimana, Marveaux, Sammy Ameobi, Obertan, Ba, Cisse, Shola Ameobi, Ranger.

Midfielder Marouane Fellaini returns from a three-match suspension for Everton's trip to Newcastle.

His comeback will offset the loss of Darron Gibson with a thigh strain for a month.

Kevin Mirallas (hamstring), Tony Hibbert (calf) and Seamus Coleman are all unlikely to feature but Phil Neville (knee) could return having been rested for Sunday's defeat by Chelsea.

Provisional squad: Howard, Jagielka, Distin, Heitinga, Baines, Naismith, Hitzlsperger, Osman, Pienaar, Fellaini, Jelavic, Mucha, Oviedo, Duffy, Barkley, Neville, Anichebe, Vellios.

Liverpool vs Sunderland

Liverpool defender Jose Enrique will miss the visit of Sunderland with a hamstring injury.

Winger Stewart Downing, who has filled in at left-back previously, may be asked to provide cover again.

Illness has been sweeping through the camp but the club are confident of keeping infection down to a minimum after midfielder Jordan Henderson and back-up goalkeeper Brad Jones were affected prior to Sunday's win over QPR.

Provisional squad: Reina, Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Downing, Gerrard, Lucas, Sterling, Henderson, Shelvey, Suarez, Jones, Gulacsi, Carragher, Coates, Wisdom, Allen, Sahin, Cole, Suso.

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill will be without defender John O'Shea for Tuesday night's Barclays Premier League trip to Liverpool.

The Republic of Ireland international damaged a hamstring during Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by Tottenham, in which he had earlier given the Black Cats the lead, and is ruled out.

Full-back Danny Rose returns to the squad after being ineligible against his parent club, but skipper Lee Cattermole and central defender Wes Brown (both knee) remain on the sidelines.

Provisional squad: Mignolet, Westwood, Bardsley, Rose, Kilgallon, Cuellar, Bramble, Gardner, Colback, McClean, Larsson, Johnson, Vaughan, Sessegnon, Saha, Campbell, Wickham, McFadden, Fletcher.
