Tuesday 28th November:

Quote:

Watford vs Sheffield United:

Watford could be without Hameur Bouazza who is struggling with a bruised ankle. The striker looks set to join knee-injury victims Ben Foster and Marlon King as well as defender Clarke Carlisle (thigh) on the sidelines.
Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock has a few injury worries but has not named who the afflicted arem, wating until Tuesday before delivering his verdicts.
Striker Danny Webber comes into contention after missing the last two matches with a hamstring strain.

Wednesday 29th November:

Quote:

Aston Villa vs Manchester City:
Manchester City are set to be unchanged from the side which performed so creditably in the loss at Liverpool. But winger DaMarcus Beasley is back in training after an ankle injury and is set for a place on the bench.
Aston Villa keeper Thomas Sorensen is out with knee ligament damage so Stuart Taylor will start.
Striker Milan Baros is also in strong contention to make a rare start, especially with Chris Sutton still sidelined with his calf injury.

Quote:

Bolton vs Chelsea

Bolton full-backs Nicky Hunt and Quinton Fortune are doubtful. Hunt suffered a hamstring injury in the defeat of Arsenal while Fortune limped off with an ankle problem.
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is fit to play despite hurting an ankle in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Midfielder Michael Ballack (calf) also came through that game unscathed but striker Salomon Kalou is out with a medial ligament injury.

Quote:

Fulham vs Arsenal

Arsenal captain Thierry Henry will return after missing the loss at Bolton with a troublesome neck injury Robin van Persie is available after suspension and Tomas Rosicky is back from a hamstring injury, while Julio Baptista will be rested.
Fulham defender Franck Queudrue (shin) will not be risked and Carlos Bocanegra is out with a hamstring problem.
Centre-back Ian Pearce is suspended so Philippe Christanval will deputise, even though he has a groin injury.

Quote:

Liverpool vs Portsmouth

Liverpool midfielder Boudewijn Zenden is out after joining the injury list with medial knee ligament damage. Daniel Agger or Jamie Carragher will be forced to move up from defence into midfield, while striker Craig Bellamy is missing because of a court case.
Portsmouth midfielder Sean Davis (groin) and defender Matt Taylor (back) are major doubts along with striker Lomana LuaLua (ankle).
Striker Benjani Mwaruwari (knee) will need a pain-killing injection to play.

Quote:

Manchester United vs Everton

Manchester United striker Louis Saha and winger Cristiano Ronaldo picked up knocks against Chelsea and are doubts. Saha's injury sees United struggling for strikers and Ryan Giggs could be used up front with John O'Shea and Darren Fletcher starting in midfield.
Everton striker Andy Johnson is a major doubt because of a hamstring strain.
He missed the 1-1 draw at Charlton and is set to be on the sidelines along with on-loan keeper Tim Howard, who cannot play against his parent club.

Looks like a solid set of matches and Utd v Everton is probably going to be the pick of the bunch.
