- Mike Williamson is back after a two-match ban but after John Carver's comments with regards to the defender's dismissal against Leicester it remains to be seen whether he will be in the reckoning for this crucial clash.
- The likes of Tiote, Haidara and De Jong are all likely to remain sidelined, while Papiss Cisse may have to make do with a place on the bench again after Emmanuel Riviere finally opened his account for the club last time out.
- Winston Reid returned to action last weekend and it was good timing as James Collins was forced off against Everton and is a doubt.
- Youngster Reece Burke could return to the side, while Kevin Nolan should be back in contention to face his former side having missed out last weekend due to a family bereavement.
- The captain could return to the side at the expense of Carlton Cole, with Enner Valencia taking his place up front.
