In the early game on Saturday Swansea face Everton. Swansea could be without Ashley Williams along with long term absentee Neil Taylor. Chico Flores is still out suspended. Everton striker Nikica Jelavic is out with a shin injury and midfielder Darron Gibson is also out.

Oscar who grabbed a brace for Chelsea midweek had to go off early against Juventus with an ankle injury and is a doubt for the game with Stoke. Daniel Sturridge is also a doubt. Matthew Etherington returned from injury with substitute appearance against Man City and could start against Chelsea.

Gaston Ramirez could make his first start for Southampton against Aston Villa. He came on as a half time substitute against Arsenal. Christian Benteke may start for Aston Villa after a goalscoring debut against Swansea. Richard Dunne is still out with a groin injury.

Peter Odemwingie suspended for West Brom's clash  with Reading after being sent off against Fulham. This could allow Romelu Lukaku to start for West Brom. Alex McCarthy should start in goal for Reading as Adam Federici is still out with a knee injury.

Andy Carroll is still out for West Ham's encounter with Sunderland. Carlton Cole or Modibo Maiga could start in his stead. Matt Jarvis is available to make his home debut. Adam Johnson is still struggling with a thigh injury for Sunderland. Carlos Cuellar, Phil Bardsley and Wes Brown are all injured so Craig Gardner will probably start at right back with Danny Rose at left back.
