Tottenham v PSV Eindhoven (20:05)

Spurs defenders Ledley King (ankle) and Jonathan Woodgate (ankle) have been included in Juande Ramos's squad to face PSV while Michael Dawson (leg) has been training this week. Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) and Gareth Bale (foot) remain out with long-term injuries and Alan Hutton is ineligible. PSV are close to full strength. Watch out for young playmaker Ibrahim Afellay.

Bolton v Sporting

Skipper Kevin Nolan remains a doubt for Gary Megson's side after having missed the weekend's defeat to Liverpool with a back strain. But loan signing Danny Guthrie will return for the Trotters after having sat out the match against his parent club. Gretar Steinsson and Tamir Cohen are cup-tied and Grzegorz Rasiak is not registered while El Hadji Diouf is suspended. Brazilian striker Liedson is a doubt for Sporting after having suffered an ankle injury during the weekend's draw with Benfica.

Fiorentina v Everton (19:45)

Fiorentina team news to follow. Everton have no new injury worries after Joseph Yobo, Steven Pienaar, Tim Cahill and Andrew Johnson all featured in the Toffees' 3-1 win over Portsmouth at the weekend. Mikel Arteta could also feature and he is expected to join the rest of the squad from Spain, where he has been treated for a groin injury. Fiorentina are without top scorer Adrian Mutu, with Giampaolo Pazzini set to plough a lone furrow up front.

Rangers v Werder Bremen

Daniel Cousin could get the nod to lead Rangers' attack, despite having agreed to move to Fulham earlier this year. The Gabon hitman has played just twice since January 20 but manager Walter Smith has preferred him to Kris Boyd in Europe so far this season. Jean-Claude Darcheville is out. Werder have included strikers Ivan Klasnic (thigh) and Hugo Almeida (flu) in their squad and both stand a chance of seeing action at Ibrox.
