Brian Jensen damaged his ankle last week but will be given every chance to prove his fitness by Owen Coyle. Martin Paterson, Chris McCann (both knee) and Jay Rodriguez (ankle) are out, but Stephen Jordan is expected to shake off a thigh problem.
Brad Friedel looks set to replace midweek shoot-out hero Brad Guzan and make his 200th consecutive Premier League appearance. Stephen Warnock is a doubt with an ankle injury, but Emile Heskey and midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker are expected to shake off niggles.
Everton have been hit hard by injuries, but the club are hopeful some key players will leave the treatment room in the near future.
Simon Davies has been sidelined for a month with a foot injury, but is pushing for a place against the Reds.
Steven Gerrard's groin is still causing concern and he has been ruled out, along with Glen Johnson and Alberto Aquilani, but star striker Fernando Torres is set to start. Albert Riera remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Portsmouth v Wigan
Portsmouth welcome back Kevin-Prince Boateng, Jamie O'Hara, Mike Williamson and Tommy Smith for the visit of Wigan, but Papa Bouba Diop (hamstring) and Hermann Hreidarsson (foot) are still recovering and will not feature.
Wigan will be without Maynor Figueroa who is likely to be out for seven weeks with a knee injury, while Paul Scharner and Chris Kirkland are doubtful with hamstring and finger problems respectively.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis is expected to recall goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen after the Dane shook off flu, while Mamady Sidibe is in contention following a knee injury. Robert Huth is still missing through suspension.
Stefan Maierhofer is back in contention for Wolves following suspension, while Michael Mancienne has overcome a bout of illness.
Sunderland v West Ham
Black Cats forward Darren Bent is struggling with a knee injury, while Fraizer Campbell, Phil Bardsley and George McCartney are also struggling and Boudewijn Zenden and John Mensah are definitely out.
Manchester United v Blackburn
United have problems in defence with Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic carrying calf injuries and Gary Neville suspended. Park Ji-sung is out with a knee problem. Ryan Giggs is struggling and Darren Fletcher is definitely out.
Swine flu has been a phrase on the lips of Blackburn this week, with a number of the squad struck down with the virus - with Jason Roberts the latest to show symptoms. Manager Sam Allardyce has been feeling unwell this week and is likely to leave it late before naming his squad for what is a local derby.

Rio Ferdinand was never worth the money west ham got for him, it is only bcause of where he went to that he got the attention he has, if it had been a lower club they would have had him sold or on loan, he is one of the laziest, most overated player in the prem and this RUN of bad form has at last shown that he is nothing like the money that was pad for him. Man Utd new they couldnt lose on shirt sales, lets see how much they get for him. Oh and why is it that when anyone scores for man utd or England, he runs and jumps on top of everyone to get in the picture. He is a bit lacking in the looks department and only makes it more noticeable when he pulls the stupid faces. And as for thinking he is a gangster because he put a few quid into a film with that noncey git danny dyer in it. What a joke, He dug his own hole when he put spinners on the wheels of a Bentley. Just how common can one lucky lout get?
I love Rio's mouth so accomadating, that's why it would be so mean of me to drop him now he's rubbish.
