Team News
Manchester United vs Liverpool
Ryan Giggs returns to the Manchester United squad for Sunday's Premier League clash with Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Giggs has missed seven games since breaking his arm at Aston Villa last month but has returned to training without a problem and is expected to start against Rafael Benitez's men.
Nemanja Vidic will be hoping to stay on the pitch after being sent off the last three times he has faced Liverpool, but United need to arrest a similarly length losing run if they are to retain top spot.
Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani will be assessed before a decision is taken on whether he can rejoin the squad.
The Italy international missed Thursday's Europa League victory over Lille with a sickness bug but, even if he is passed fit, it is likely he will only get a place on the bench.
Fellow midfielder Maxi Rodriguez returns to the squad having been ineligible for Europe and only Martin Skrtel (foot) and Fabio Aurelio (thigh) are missing with injury.
Teams:
Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Fabio Park, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson, Obertan, Giggs, Nani, Rooney, Berbatov, Diouf.
Liverpool (from): Reina, Johnson, Agger, Carragher, Insua, Lucas, Mascherano, Kuyt, Gerrard, Rodriguez, Torres, Babel, Ngog, Benayoun, Aquilani, Cavalieri, Kyrgiakos, Spearing, Kelly, Degen.
Blackburn vs Chelsea
Sam Allardyce has a number of injury problems to cope with ahead of Blackburn's game against Chelsea on Sunday.
Goalkeeper Paul Robinson (calf), captain Ryan Nelsen (knee), Gael Givet (groin), Lars Jacobsen (hernia) and Vince Grella (calf) are all missing while loan striker Franco di Santo cannot play against his parent club Chelsea.
Jason Brown will fill in for Robinson, with Mark Bunn being recalled from Sheffield United as cover.
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has no fresh injury concerns
Goalkeeper Petr Cech trained on Friday but remains a doubt and he will undergo a late fitness test on his calf injury. Hilario is also a doubt with a groin strain.
Michael Essien (knee), Ashley Cole (ankle) and Jose Bosingwa (knee) are all sidelined.
Teams:
Blackburn (from): Brown, Dunn, Olsson, Salgado, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Hoilett, Roberts, Diouf, Andrews, Kalinic, Dunn, Chimbonda, Basturk, Samba, Emerton, Jones.

Fulham vs Manchester City
Fulham manager Roy Hodgson welcomes back captain Danny Murphy and midfielder Jonathan Greening for Sunday's Barclays Premier League visit of Manchester City.
Both players were suspended for Thursday night's win over Juventus and Murphy could replace Dickson Etuhu, who picked up a knock in the shock Europa League victory.
Andy Johnson and John Pantsil (both knee) are out, David Elm is a doubt with illness while Clint Dempsey is pushing for a starting place after scoring the winner against Juve.
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini will be without Wayne Bridge.
The full-back will be sidelined for a month after undergoing a hernia operation and Javier Garrido is favourite to replace him.
Emmanuel Adebayor is absent through suspension while Martin Petrov has a knee injury.
Teams:
Fulham (from): Schwarzer, Zuberbuhler, Baird, Kelly, Shorey, Stoor, Konchesky, Hangeland, Hughes, Smalling, Gera, Duff, Murphy, Greening, Davies, Etuhu, Riise, Nevland, Elm, Okaka, Zamora, Marsh-Brown.
