A comprehensive 3-0 victory against West Ham United in August saw Manchester City make their intentions for the season clear.

Their form has dipped of late, however, seeing Mark Hughes side drop to the middle of the table, with 32 points. Their opponents this weekend, West Ham, sit one place and one point better off.

Gianfranco Zola’s side have lost their last two Barclays Premier League matches, and were disappointed to concede two early goals away to Middlesbrough in their FA Cup fifth round replay in midweek.

With both team eager to improve their league position, who will come away with the points?

West Ham team news

West Ham will be without midfielder Mark Noble as he serves a one-match suspension.

Jack Collison looks set to come into the starting XI, but defender James Collins (hamstring) is out after missing the midweek FA Cup replay defeat at Middlesbrough.

Luis Boa Morte (groin), Kieron Dyer (calf), Danny Gabbidon (stomach/back) and striker Dean Ashton (ankle) remain sidelined.

Man City team news

Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong is available again for the Barclays Premier League match against West Ham at Upton Park on Sunday.

De Jong sat out the UEFA Cup victory over FC Copenhagen last night as he was ineligible.

England winger Shaun Wright-Phillips is sidelined through suspension while Gelson Fernandes remains doubtful with a hamstring strain.

The result of Sunday’s encounter at the KC Stadium could be a tough one to call, as two out of form sides meet, both searching for precious points.

Hull City are currently bottom of the Barclays Premier League form table, having picked up only two points from their last six.

On Sunday, the Tigers host a Blackburn Rovers side who have lost their last two top flight matches, albeit against high-flying Aston Villa and Manchester United.

Those defeats have left them in the relegation zone, and that coupled with being knocked out of the FA Cup by Championship outfit Coventry City in midweek has made it a tough time for Sam Allardyce’s Rovers.

Hull team news

Hull City captain Ian Ashbee is nursing a slight calf injury and may be left out by boss Phil Brown for Sunday’s match at the KC Stadium.

Caleb Folan is also likely to miss out after suffering a groin strain against Sheffield United but Craig Fagan is in contention after minor knee surgery.

Blackburn team news

Midfielders Vince Grella and David Dunn are Blackburn’s two main injury worries ahead of their trip to Hull.

Grella (groin) and Dunn (hamstring) will both be given late fitness tests before a decision is made on their availability for the crunch encounter at the KC Stadium.

Manager Sam Allardyce is likely to make wholesale changes from the side which lost the FA Cup fifth round replay against Coventry in midweek.

Middlesbrough host Liverpool with renewed confidence after their 2-0 victory over West Ham United in Wednesday’s FA Cup fifth-round replay.

Boro produced an inspired attacking display that will have Gareth Southgate and his players believing that an end to their 14-match winless run in the Barclays Premier League could soon come to an end.

Liverpool are seven points behind leaders Manchester United after their 1-1 draw at home to Manchester City last weekend.

Middlesbrough team news

Gareth Southgate has Marlon King available against Liverpool on Sunday.

King, on loan from Wigan Athletic until the end of the season, missed Boro’s encounter with the Latics last weekend due to the terms of his contract and was cup-tied for matches with West Ham Unitied that sandwiched Saturday’s goalless draw.

Southgate is likely to give fit-again Jeremie Aliadiere his first league start of 2009 following the French forward’s fine display in Wednesday’s 2-0 FA Cup fifth round win over the Hammers.

Chris Riggott (knee) and Didier Digard (thigh) have long-term injuries and will not feature.

Liverpool team news

Fernando Torres has been ruled out of Saturday’s trip to Middlesbrough with a twisted ankle sustained against Real Madrid.

The Spain international was substituted after 61 minutes of Wednesday’s 1-0 victory and has not recovered in time for the Riverside.

He now faces a race against time to be fit for the visit of Sunderland on Tuesday.

Steven Gerrard is part of the squad as Liverpool return to Barclays Premier League action, but Daniel Agger again misses out with a back injury.

Guus Hiddink has made a positive early impression as Chelsea manager and will be looking for a third win on the trot against Wigan Athletic.

1-0 victories over Aston Villa and Juventus in the Champions League have instilled the Stamford Bridge faithful with fresh optimism.

Wigan drew 1-1 here towards the end of last season, a result that severely damaged Chelsea’s hopes of wrestling the title away from Manchester United.

Chelsea team news

Chelsea are still without defender Ricardo Carvalho.

He remains sidelined with a hamstring problem while midfielder Deco is doubtful with a similar injury.

Michael Essien is on the brink of full fitness after long-term knee ligament problems but will also miss out.

Wigan team news

Wigan have more injuries to contend with as midfielders Daniel de Ridder and Jason Koumas are both doubts.

The pair sustained thigh problems in training yesterday and look likely to be added to the list which includes winger Antonio Valencia (hamstring) and Mido (groin).

Midfielder Ben Watson is suspended for the visit to Stamford Bridge.

Everton host West Bromwich Albion looking to enhance their chances of European qualification.

Despite their impressive league placing of sixth, the Toffees have won just one of their last five league matches, against Bolton Wanderers 3-0.

West Brom sit bottom of the league and were outplayed in a 2-0 defeat at Fulham last weekend.

They have won only one of their last six league matches.

Everton team news

Everton’s injury problems show no signs of abating with Louis Saha unlikely to feature.

The striker made a substitute appearance – his first for three months after hamstring trouble – at Newcastle United last weekend but is now struggling with a thigh problem.

His fellow forward Victor Anichebe (knee) will be out for at least three weeks, while Mikel Arteta has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a ruptured cruciate.

Jack Rodwell has not trained all week after also sustaining an injury at St James’ Park. However, midfielder Tim Cahill and right-back Tony Hibbert return after suspension.

West Brom team news

West Bromwich Albion are set to be boosted by the availability of midfielder Filipe Teixeira for Saturday’s trip to Everton.

Teixeira suffered a broken toe during last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at Fulham but he is expected to figure at Goodison Park.

Bottom of the table Albion, who have lost their last two matches, are definitely without midfielders Jonathan Greening and Youssouf Mulumbu and central defender Jonas Olsson.

Greening and Olsson are still sidelined by knee ligament problems while Mulumbu has a thigh strain.
