SUNDAY'S GAMES- ARSENAL Arsenal will be without Danny Welbeck. The England forward faces nine months on the sidelines following a serious knee injury in last weekend's draw at Manchester City. Jack Wilshere is in line for his first start since last year's FA Cup final with Santi Cazorla also in contention, meanwhile Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee) and Per Mertesacker (hamstring) are missing. Provisional squad: Ospina, Cech, Monreal, Gibbs, Gabriel, Chambers, Koscielny, Bellerin, Ramsey, Elneny, Wilshere, Cazorla, Ramsey, Rosicky, Arteta, Ozil, Reine-Adelaide, Iwobi, Sanchez, Campbell, Walcott, Giroud. - ASTON VILLA Alan Hutton and Ciaran Clark are fresh injury concerns. Fellow defender Kieran Richardson remains a doubt so teenager Kevin Toner is likely to retain his place, having enjoyed a run in the first team in recent weeks. Midfielder Jordan Veretout will probably stay sidelined with his pelvic problem. Aly Cissokho is available again after suspension while striker Rudy Gestede has resumed training after injury ruled him out of the goalless draw with Newcastle last weekend. Provisional squad: Guzan, Bunn, Bacuna, Hutton, Clark, Richards, Lescott, Toner, Westwood, Sanchez, Lyden, Gana, Gil, Grealish, Ayew, Gestede, Sinclair, Traore. - CHELSEA John Terry is suspended for what could be his Stamford Bridge farewell. Thibaut Courtois has recovered from illness, so could displace Asmir Begovic in goal, and defender Branislav Ivanovic (groin) has returned to light training, so could come into contention. Diego Costa (hamstring) is out, alongside fellow striker Loic Remy (groin) and defender Kurt Zouma (knee). Provisional squad: Courtois, Begovic, Ivanovic, Fabregas, Rahman, Oscar, Falcao, Hazard, Pato, Mikel, Traore, Kenedy, Pedro, Miazga, Willian, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Loftus-Cheek, Amelia, Abraham, Palmer, Tomori. - LEICESTER Robert Huth remains suspended for champions Leicester ahead of the season-finale at Chelsea. The defender serves the second of a three-game ban for pulling Marouane Fellaini's hair in the Foxes' 1-1 draw at Manchester United with Marcin Wasilewski likely to deputise again. Danny Drinkwater returns for Claudio Ranieri's side after missing last weekend's 3-1 win over Everton because of a ban. Provisional squad: Schmeichel, Schwarzer, Simpson, Fuchs, Chilwell, Morgan, Wasilewski, Schlupp, Drinkwater, Amartey, James, Kante, King, Gray, Dyer, Inler, Albrighton, Mahrez, Okazaki, Vardy, Ulloa. - EVERTON Tim Howard will make a final appearance in goal for Everton. The 37-year-old is leaving Goodison Park after 10 years to return home to the United States, where he will join the Colorado Rapids. Captain Phil Jagielka has returned to training following a hamstring injury while full-back Seamus Coleman will have a late fitness test on a similar problem. Provisional squad: Robles, Oviedo, Funes Mori, Stones, Jagielka, Coleman, Baines, Besic, McCarthy, Lennon, Gibson, Barry, Cleverley, Barkley, Lukaku, Dowell, Howard, Pienaar, Kone, Osman, Mirallas, Niasse, Pennington. - NORWICH Norwich could be unchanged when they bid farewell to the Premier League following their relegation. The Canaries, who beat Watford 4-2 on Wednesday only to be demoted as Sunderland won on the same night, are without midfielder Jonny Howson (knee). Defender Timm Klose (knee) is out and midfielder Alex Tettey (ankle) is also absent. Provisional squad: Ruddy, Martin, Pinto, Olsson, Bassong, Brady, Redmond, O'Neil, Hoolahan, Jerome, Rudd, Mbokani, Whittaker, Dorrans, Mulumbu, Jarvis, Naismith, Bennett. - MAN UNITED Adnan Januzaj will miss Manchester United's season finale with a hamstring injury. The Belgium international is joined on the sidelines by Matteo Darmian (ankle), while Ashley Young is making his way back to full fitness. Marouane Fellaini continues to miss out through suspension, while Bastian Schweinsteiger (knee) and Luke Shaw (leg) are still sidelined. Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Borthwick-Jackson, Fosu-Mensah, McNair, Herrera, Schneiderlin, Carrick, Depay, Pereira, Lingard, Mata, Rashford, Rooney, Martial. - BOURNEMOUTH Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has no fresh injury or suspension worries. Adam Smith is unavailable due to a groin injury which forced him off in the 4-0 defeat to Manchester City at the beginning of April. Sylvain Distin (back), Tyrone Mings (knee) and Tokelo Rantie (muscular injury) remain long-term injuries. Provisional squad: Boruc, Cook, Daniels, Francis, Elphick, Surman, Stanislas, Ritchie, Gosling, Gradel, King, Federici, Wiggins, O'Kane, MacDonald, Pugh, Grabban, Wilson. - NEWCASTLE Rafael Benitez will head into what could prove to be his final game as Newcastle boss. However, after holding initial talks with managing director Lee Charnley, he will do so already considering his options should he choose to stay, and some members of his squad could be running out for the final time with a summer cull in the offing. Full-back Daryl Janmaat was an unused substitute for last weekend's goalless draw at Aston Villa after recovering from groin and hand injuries, but keepers Tim Krul and Rob Elliot (both knee) and defenders Fabricio Coloccini (calf) and Massadio Haidara (knee) remain on the sidelines. Provisional squad: Darlow, Woodman, Janmaat, Dummett, Mbemba, Lascelles, Taylor, Mbabu, Gibson, Colback, Wijnaldum, Sissoko, Shelvey, Townsend, Saivet, De Jong, Anita, Gouffran, Aarons, Mitrovic, Cisse, Perez, Doumbia, Riviere. - TOTTENHAM Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has no fresh injury concerns. Dele Alli and Mousa Dembele are both still missing as they serve bans for violent conduct while Nabil Bentaleb remains sidelined with a knee injury. Spurs' superior goal difference means they should only need to draw against the Magpies to finish above Arsenal and secure second place. Provisional squad: Lloris, Vorm, Walker, Trippier, Davies, Rose, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Vertonghen, Winks, Mason, Dier, Carroll, Eriksen, Onomah, Lamela, Son, Chadli, Njie, Kane. - SOUTHAMPTON Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has no fresh injury or suspension worries. Sadio Mane missed Saints' 2-1 win over Tottenham due to illness but has recovered and could be included in Sunday's squad. Jordy Clasie remains sidelined with a groin problem. Provisional squad: Forster, Stekelenburg, Gazzaniga, Martina, Van Dijk, Fonte, Yoshida, Soares, Bertrand, Targett, Clasie, Davis, Ward-Prowse, Wanyama, Romeu, Tadic, Mane, Pelle, Long, Austin, Juanmi. - CRYSTAL PALACE Alan Pardew is to rest at least two of his key players when his Crystal Palace team visit Southampton in preparation for next week's FA Cup final against Manchester United. Wilfried Zaha, who is recovering from a leg muscle problem, and Wayne Hennessey will be left out. The latter is expected to be replaced by Julian Speroni, who would equal Palace's club-record appearances for a goalkeeper. Pardew is also considering resting Connor Wickham and selecting Dwight Gayle, but is without the injured Joe Ledley, who has fractured a fibula. Provisional squad: McCarthy, Speroni, Ward, Kelly, Dann, Delaney, Mariappa, Souare, Lee, Jedinak, McArthur, Puncheon, Cabaye, Mutch, Campbell, Gayle, Adebayor, Sako, Wickham, Kaikai. - STOKE Stoke midfielder Stephen Ireland is expected to be sidelined for eight or nine months after suffering a double leg fracture in training. The Potters also have Ibrahim Afellay, Marc Wilson (both knee) and Jack Butland (ankle) unavailable. Sunday's game could see Glen Johnson and Shay Given back involved after spells out with knee and groin problems respectively. Provisional squad: Haugaard, Given, Shawcross, Wollscheid, Pieters, Johnson, Cameron, Bardsley, Muniesa, Imbula, Whelan, Adam, Arnautovic, Bojan, Shaqiri, Walters, Joselu, Crouch, Diouf. - WEST HAM Goalkeeper Adrian remains West Ham's only absentee. The Spaniard is still recovering from a calf problem so Darren Randolph will continue to deputise. Boss Slaven Bilic has an otherwise fully fit squad as the Hammers go in search of a win which would guarantee at least sixth place. Provisional squad: Randolph, Spiegel, Cresswell, Reid, Ogbonna, Collins, Tomkins, Byram, Noble, Kouyate, Obiang, Song, Antonio, Moses, Lanzini, Payet, Sakho, Carroll, Emenike, Valencia. - SWANSEA Swansea's four Euro 2016 representatives will be rested. Skipper Ashley Williams, Neil Taylor and Gylfi Sigurdsson all missed last weekend's 4-1 win at West Ham, and Poland goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski now joins them in getting a breather ahead of this summer's European Championship in France. So Sweden goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt will make his Premier League debut in a Swansea side also set to be without Jefferson Montero and Alberto Paloschi (both hamstrings) again. Provisional squad: Nordfeldt, Naughton, Fernandez, Amat, Kingsley, Britton, Cork, Fer, Routledge, Barrow, Ayew, Tremmel, Rangel, Bartley, Ki, Gomis, Emnes, Fulton, Gorre, King. - MAN CITY Manchester City left-back Aleksandar Kolarov faces a fitness test. The Serbia international missed last weekend's draw with Arsenal with a muscular injury and will be examined but captain Vincent Kompany (thigh), playmaker David Silva (hamstring) and right-back Pablo Zabaleta (calf) are all missing. Midfielder Samir Nasri is back in contention after recovering from the illness which prevented him playing a full part in training last week. Provisional squad: Hart, Caballero, Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Demichelis, Clichy, Kolarov, Toure, Angelino, Fernando, Fernandinho, Toure, Delph, De Bruyne, Sterling, Navas, Nasri, Aguero, Bony, Iheanacho. - WATFORD The Hornets remain without Valon Behrami and Etienne Capoue due to respective rib and knee injuries. - SUNDERLAND Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce will mix things up against Watford after his side secured safety in midweek. Having enjoyed some well-earned celebrations, several regular starters can expect to stand down at Vicarage Road, with chances on offer for those who have sat out recently. Allardyce has also promised to cast an eye over young talent, bringing the likes of Jordan Pickford, George Honeyman, Tommy Robson, Liam Agnew and Rees Greenwood into the frame. Provisional squad: Mannone, Pickford, Van Aanholt, Yedlin, O'Shea, Jones, Robson, Kone, Kaboul, Brown, Kirchhoff, Agnew, Honeyman, Cattermole, M'Vila, Greenwood, Khazri, Borini, Rodwell, Larsson, Lens, Defoe, N'Doye, Watmore, Mandron. - WEST BROM James McClean, Chris Brunt and James Morrison are all out of West Brom's final game of the season at home to Liverpool. Winger McClean has a back problem while Morrison remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and could have played his last game for the club, with his contract expiring in the summer. Brunt is missing with a serious knee injury, while Stephane Sessegnon is a doubt and Darren Fletcher has been nursing a knee injury but is expected to play. Provisional squad: Foster, Myhill, Dawson, Chester, Olsson, Evans, McAuley, Yacob, Fletcher, Gardner, Sandro, Pritchard, McManaman, Leko, Roberts, Lambert, Rondon, Berahino, Anichebe. - LIVERPOOL Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is expected to rest a number of first-choice players as he has one eye on next week's Europa League final. Last weekend against Watford the German made eight changes and is likely to do the same again. Striker Danny Ings, out since October after cruciate knee ligament surgery, could feature, as could youngster Sergi Canos after he returned from an impressive loan spell with Brentford. Provisional squad: Mignolet, Flanagan, Lucas, Skrtel, Smith, Allen, Stewart, Ibe, Benteke, Ojo, Chirivella, Bogdan, Randall, Lovren, Toure, Brannagan, Firmino, Canos, Ings.
