Premier League Sunday Team News
A round-up of team news ahead of Sunday's Premier League fixtures.
Man Utd vs Everton
Ashley Young returns to the Manchester United squad after a five-match absence with a knee injury, while Phil Jones (shingles) and Michael Carrick (hip) have both recovered from the problems which prevented them reporting for international duty this week.
Everton boss David Moyes is optimistic midfielder Marouane Fellaini will have recovered from a hip injury in time to feature. Phil Jagielka is expected to be involved despite sitting out England's 2-1 victory against Brazil, while fellow defenders Seamus Coleman (thigh) and Tony Hibbert (calf) remain sidelined.
Aston Villa vs West Ham
Fabian Delph is in the squad after ankle trouble, while Karim El Ahmadi is fit after a knee problem. Villa boss Paul Lambert will check on fellow midfielder Ashley Westwood, who is suffering from illness, but hopes of a return for defender Richard Dunne have been dashed by a recurrence of his groin problem.
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has no fresh injury concerns. Defenders James Collins (hamstring) and George McCartney (knee) are still out but all the Hammers' internationals returned from midweek duty unscathed. Modibo Maiga is back at the club following African Nations Cup duty with Mali but is unlikely to feature.
Liverpool vs West Brom
Reds striker Daniel Sturridge will be assessed over the weekend to determine whether he is fit enough to feature - the England international pulled out of the friendly against Brazil with a thigh problem. Winger Raheem Sterling, who also withdrew from international duty, is fit while new signing Philippe Coutinho has had his first week of training after his move from Inter Milan but may require more time.
West Brom left-back Goran Popov starts a three-match ban but midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu is in contention to return to the starting line-up for the first time since January 1 after returning to training this week following a knee problem. Head coach Steve Clarke has to decide whether to recall striker Peter Odemwingie, after the collapse of his transfer deadline day move to QPR and subsequent apology.
