Reading v Aston Villa (12:30 GMT, Sunday)

Agbonlahor missed Villa's 4-1 win over Newcastle with a hamstring injury, while Martin O'Neill must decide whether to persevere with Olof Mellberg and Stiliyan Petrov who were both substituted at half-time against Kevin Keegan's side.

Reading are boosted by the returns of key defender Ivar Ingimarsson from suspension, Andre Bikey and Emerse Fae from the African Cup of Nations and Michael Duberry from a knee injury, as they look for their first win since the 2-1 triumph over Sunderland on 22 December.

Blackburn Rovers v BoltonWanderers (15:00 GMT, Sunday)

Gretar Steinsson and Tamir Cohen were cup-tied for Bolton's shock UEFA Cup win over Atletico Madrid but are now available, while Ricardo Gardner and Heidar Helguson are fighting to be fit after missing out on Thursday.

Blackburn are missing centre-halves Andre Ooijer and Ryan Nelsen, who both have hamstring injuries.

Manchester City v Everton (20:00 GMT, Monday)

Everton have an almost clean bill of health after their 6-1 humbling of SK Brann in the UEFA Cup on Thursday night, with only loan signing Anthony Gardner (knee) missing.

Man City are without recent loan signing Nery Alberto Castillo, who remains out with a broken shoulder, but midfielder Michael Johnson - who turns 20 the day before the game - is close to a return from an abdominal strain.

Sven-Goran Eriksson has something of a selection headache to contend with as Croatian defender Vedran Corluka and Brazilian playmaker Elano both return from suspension.
