Ronaldo may be rested after several games in succession after returning from injury.

Carlton Cole (suspended) will be missing as he starts his ban after being sent off against Arsenal on Sunday.

Mark Noble is out with a calf injury

 Pre Match Press Conference Highlights
On Rio
Rio Ferdinand's best years are in front of him. He has leadership qualities and we are really starting to see maturity in his game.

"We always knew that he was good at taking the ball out of defence because he has such wonderful balance and great pace.

"Now we are seeing more edge to his game and more of a contribution in terms of being voluble towards his team-mates. He is much better at that."
