Hull City and Sheffield United will make several changes for their FA Cup fifth-round replay at the KC Stadium
The Tigers are likely to rest several of their first-team players ahead of the crucial Premier League clash with Blackburn, including defender Anthony Gardner, who has only recently returned to action after five months out with a thigh injury.
Kevin Kilbane is cup-tied while Matt Duke could make way for Boaz Myhill in goal.
Craig Fagan is back in training after a minor knee operation but not fit enough to return while Jimmy Bullard and George Boateng are long-term absentees.
Sheffield United will be without John-Joe O'Toole, Craig Beattie, Arturo Lupoli, Leigh Bromby and Jamie Ward, who are all cup-tied.
Goalkeeper Ian Bennett (gastroenteritis) and midfielder Brian Howard (hamstring) missed the 2-2 Championship draw at Plymouth and are unlikely to play.
Manager Kevin Blackwell also has several injury headaches to contend with.
