Midweek, and therefore mostly useless, version. But certainly worth consideration for next week's matches.
Injuries mount for Wolves
Striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake is sidelined for a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury picked up in Saturday's opening-day defeat to West Ham, while right-back Kevin Foley is also ruled out for a similar spell with a medial ligament problem.
Kevin Doyle (groin) and centre-back Christophe Berra (hamstring) are still not 100% and will also miss out but are expected to be okay for Saturday's game at Manchester City.
Full-back Stephen Ward and midfielders Greg Halford and Matt Jarvis also picked up knocks at the weekend but are expected to feature, while striker Chris Iwelumo (foot) and winger Michael Kightly (hip and foot) remain out.
United without Ferdinand again for Burnley clash
England defender Rio Ferdinand will miss Manchester United's match at Burnley on Wednesday and is likely to be sidelined for at least another two weeks as the champions battle to cope with an early season injury crisis.
Ferdinand went for a scan on his injured thigh on Monday after missing United's opening game against Birmingham City, which they won 1-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Ferdinand's injury comes at a bad time for United with his defensive partner Nemanja Vidic (calf) also out of the visit to Burnley while reserve defender Jonny Evans limped off after 74 minutes with a groin injury.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar (broken hand), Gary Neville (groin) and Rafael da Silva (shoulder) are also sidelined.
West Brown on the barn door?
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has a major doubt over midfielder Steed Malbranque ahead of the Premier League clash with Chelsea.
The Frenchman twisted an ankle in Saturday's 1-0 win at Bolton and is rated at 50-50 at best, while Kieran Richardson is struggling with a dead leg suffered in the same game.
Andy Reid missed the trip to the Reebok Stadium with a thigh problem, but was expected to resume training on Monday, while keeper Craig Gordon was on the bench at the weekend as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.
Summer signing Paulo da Silva is working his way back to full match fitness, while Paul McShane remains on the sidelines after knee surgery.
Chelsea are likely to be without new signing Yuri Zhirkov for the trip to Sunderland.
Zhirkov is still struggling with a knee injury while full-back Juliano Belletti (Achilles) and defender Alex (groin) are also expected to miss out.
Any thoughts on K Rich/Sonko vs Milijas/W Brown? Would still leave a hole with Moko in the mid (with Lamps & Arsh) but that might be able to be addressed later in the week?
