Manchester United v Liverpool (13:30)
Rio Ferdinand has been passed fit for the crunch clash and lines up in a full-strength Manchester United back line. Tomasz Kuszczak stays in goal as Edwin van der Sar failed a fitness test. Patrice Evra regains his place at left-back after being rested against Bolton, while Ryan Giggs is given the nod out on the left wing. Wayne Rooney leads the line on his own with Carlos Tevez on the bench.
Rafael Benitez fields something approaching his first XI as he chases that lucrative fourth-spot finish, with Steven Gerrard supporting Fernando Torres in attack once again. Dirk Kuyt plays in midfield, along with Ryan Babel, Xavi Alonso and Javier Mascherano. In defence, however, Daniel Agger and Steve Finnan are still out for the long term, so Alvaro Arbeloa and Martin Skrtel take their respective places.
Chelsea v Arsenal (16:00)
The only likely team change for Chelsea boss Avram Grant is Jon Obi Mikel returning to midfield at the expense of Claude Makelele. Didier Drogba is expected to keep his lone target man role as Nicolas Anelka is still out with a thigh problem, while Carlo Cudicini remains in goal.
Arsenal are still without Tomas Rosicky and Abou Diaby, so Alexandr Hleb will continue on the left of midfield, with Emmanuel Eboue covering him for him on the right. There are likely to be few changes for Arsene Wenger's side as they bid to knock Chelsea out of this season's title race for good.
