All the team news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clashes with Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear having to contend with lots of injuries.
Click in the match links below the picture to see predicted line-ups, players to watch, key facts and stats and info on injuries and suspensions.
Newcastle United v Sunderland (13:30)
Newcastle have 12 players injured in their first-team squad with Michael Owen and Joey Barton the latest additions to the list. New signing Kevin Nolan is not expected to play, while Shay Given and Charles N'Zogbia have played their last games for the club. Nicky Butt is back from suspension.
Sunderland's key midfield man Kieran Richardson starts after recovering from an ankle injury, but Teemu Tainio is a major doubt. George McCartney is expected to play despite an ongoing foot problem.
Philipp Degen is Liverpool's only injured player, but that does not make it any easier to predict what team Rafael Benitez is going to pick. There may be changes on the flanks, with Albert Riera and Dirk Kuyt replacing Ryan Babel and Yossi Benayoun, but Robbie Keane is left out of the squad.
Chelsea are without Ricardo Carvalho, Joe Cole and Michael Essien, while there is also doubt over Juliano Belletti, who is unwell. Luiz Felipe Scolari must again decide over out-of-sorts striker Didier Drogba, whose recent form suggests he will be lucky to start at Anfield.

Can I just say why are we all talking about red devils? this is about Wilson Palacious who is READY to make his Tottenham hotspur debut. I bet he will move in a couple of months.... probably because Tottenham keep losing matches. First they were bottom they sacked Ramos then they move up the table NEXT they move down the table. There is danger that Harry Redknapp is going to get Spurs relagated. Then Redknapp will fall out with spurs and move to another club. Palacious perfect player.
go red devils!!!
