Saturday, February 16

Charlton Athletic v Watford

On-loan Lee Cook has recovered from a hip injury and could figure for Charlton, while Jerome Thomas (pictured, left, with Watford's Tamas Priskin) may also be fit after a hamstring problem.

Madjid Bougherra could be fit after a foot injury, so Jonathan Fortune may drop to the bench. Sam Sodje could also come into contention following a hand injury but Ben Thatcher (knee), Svetoslav Todorov (cruciate), Cory Gibbs (foot) and Chris Dickson (knee) are out.

Watford club captain Jay DeMerit has recovered from a groin injury and is set to reclaim his place, possibly at the expense of Danny Shittu.

Collins John is a week away from match fitness while Damien Francis has a swollen knee - but Tommy Smith should be fit after shaking off an ankle knock.

Hull City v Colchester United

Hull will be without knee injury victims Bryan Hughes and Dean Windass, who have undergone surgery.

Caleb Folan has been struggling with a bout of flu but is expected to recover, while fellow frontman Richard Garcia is unavailable after being allowed to travel to Australia on compassionate leave.

Mark Yeates (shoulder) remains an injury doubt for Colchester but the treatment room is clearing - Kevin Lisbie (ankle), Pat Baldwin (knee) and new signing Dean Hammond (calf) are in contention.

Veteran goalkeeper Aidan Davison is the only other absentee as he recovers from shoulder surgery.

Ipswich Town v Blackpool

Ipswich midfielder Alan Quinn faces a late fitness test on an ankle injury.

Velice Sumulikoski made his debut in the win against Crystal Palace in midweek which also saw Richard Naylor start for the first time in 12 months after a succession of ankle, knee and neck injuries. Luis Castro Sito is available again after suspension.

Kaspars Gorkss is banned for Blackpool and club captain Michael Jackson looks set to continue.

Keith Southern could retain his place after starting against Wolves in midweek following a long-term ankle injury.

Leicester City v Norwich City

Elvis Hammond (ankle) and Levi Porter (knee) remain the only absentees with long-term injuries.

Norwich's on-loan defender Matthew Bates is out with a knee injury which has seen him return to Middlesbrough for an operation. Jon Otsemobor comes in.

Jamie Cureton could return following an appendix operation last week. Luke Chadwick (shoulder) is out and Adam Drury (knee) is unlikely to feature again this season.
