Chelsea 

 

Gary Cahill and David Luiz are both likely to remain sidelined so Ivanovic will continue to partner Terry at the back, with Bosingwa on the right. Di Matteo may switch back to a 4-2-3-1 after playing three up front against Newcastle saw them fire a blank.

 

Cole, Mata and Lampard will all return having been rested last time out, while Didier Drogba should start up front due to his exceptional record at Wembley, potentially preventing Torres from starting a cup final against his former club.

 

Probable lineups : Cech, Cole, Terry, Ivanovic, Bosingwa, Meireles, Mikel, Mata, Lampard, Ramires, Drogba. (4-2-3-1).

Tottenham

 

 

Spurs have no new injury concerns and Harry Redknapp should have his squad fresh and ready to play after rotating his team over the busy Easter weekend. His decision to change things up back-fired as Spurs came out with only 1 point from two games that they would have considered winnable.

The biggest decisions for Redknapp will be in central defence, where Ledley King put in an unconvincing performance earlier in the week. Younes Kaboul went off injured, though the extent of his injury is unclear. William Gallas should return to the starting XI alongside one of the aforementioned two, with Ryan Nelsen on standby.

Rafael van der Vaart and Emmanuel Adebayor came off the bench against Norwich, but should both be restored to the starting lineup for this game. Scott Parker sat out the whole game and will start at Wembley.

probable lineups : Cudicini, Assou-Ekotto, Kaboul, Gallas, Walker, Bale, Modric, Parker, Lennon, Vaart, Adebayor. (4-4-1-1).

Liverpool

 

Liverpool's biggest team news is that they are without either of their first choice goalkeepers due to suspension. Pepe Reina was sent off at Newcastle and serves the final game of his 3 game suspension, while Doni, his replacement in those games, was given a straight red at Ewood Park in midweek, and thus misses out.

 

They join midfielders Charlie Adam and Lucas on the sidelines, with youngsters Martin Kelly and Jack Robinson both unlikely to return just yet to first team action, despite having restarted training.

 

Kenny Dalglish rested Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Jose Enrique and Stewart Downing as well as Daniel Agger for much of the game against Blackburn, clearly with his thoughts very much on the Merseyside derby at Wembley at the weekend.

 

probable lineups : Jones, Enrique, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Spearing, Henderson, Kuyt, Gerrad, Downing, Suárez. (4-2-3-1).

Sunderland

 

Phil Bardsley and Sebastian Larsson should both return to the line-up having missed the weekend's clash through illness, with the former likely to replace the injured John O'Shea at right-back.

Sessegnon made a goalscoring return from suspension and will keep his place while captain Lee Cattermole could make his comeback from a 4-match ban, though Colback and Vaughan both impressed in his absence. The likes of Kyrgiakos and Bridge will continue to deputise at the back with Brown and Richardson sidelined.

probable lineups : Mignolet, Bridge, Kyrgiakos, Turner, Bradsley, McClean, Cattermole, Vaughan, Larsson, Sessegnon, Bendtner. (4-4-1-1).

Tottenham

Tottenham have Aaron Lennon still missing with the hamstring injury that kept him out of the loss at Everton last week. Harry Redknapp will have to decide whether to keep Gareth Bale on the right and Modric on the left, which was rather unsuccessful in that game, or change things up with Bale returning to his preferred left midfield role. Scott Parker came off in the Everton game and could be given a rest here, with Spurs facing a crucial Premier League game against Stoke in midweek. It was confirmed that Michael Dawson's ankle injury, sustained in the FA Cup replay win over Stevenage, will keep him out for the rest of the season. William Gallas is set to return from injury soon, though, and he may play here, with Nelsen and Kaboul set to start if Gallas doesn't make it. Ledley King will be rested after playing at the weekend. Rafael van der Vaart has a chance of returning to the starting lineup but may be saved for the next game. He will start of Emmanuel Adebayor's hamstring injury keeps him out.
