FA Cup semi-final and Premier League team news, kick-off times and TV details

Saturday

PREMIER LEAGUE
Newcastle (17) v West Ham (4), 12.30 – Live on Sky Sports
Newcastle strikers Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin are fit to feature after emerging unscathed on their returns from injury. Wilson (hamstring) and Saint-Maximin (groin) were used as substitutes in last Sunday's 2-1 win at Burnley with the Frenchman making one goal and scoring the other, and both have trained this week without any issues. However, Ryan Fraser will miss out once again with a groin problem, joining defenders Jamaal Lascelles (foot) and Fabian Schar (knee) and fellow midfielder Isaac Hayden (also knee) on the casualty list.

West Ham hope Aaron Cresswell recovers from the knock he sustained against Leicester last weekend. Cresswell was replaced during the second half of that 3-2 win, the only Premier League minutes the defender has missed all season. Midfielder Declan Rice and striker Michail Antonio remain out with respective knee and hamstring injuries.

The Blades were dealt a double injury blow this week with the news that Oli McBurnie and Billy Sharp will miss the rest of the season through injury. McBurnie fractured a bone in his foot during the defeat to Arsenal, while fellow striker and club captain Sharp has undergone surgery on a thigh problem sustained in training.

John Fleck is an injury concern ahead of the trip to Molineux, where the Blades' inevitable relegation could be confirmed on Saturday night. The midfielder has not been able to train this week because of a stiff groin.

FA CUP SEMI-FINAL
Chelsea v Manchester City, Wembley, 5.30 – Live on BBC One
Andreas Christensen will miss out for Chelsea due to a muscle injury. The Denmark defender missed the midweek Champions League clash with Porto and has failed to recover in time for the Wembley showdown. N'Golo Kante is fit enough to start his second match in a week, with Mateo Kovacic still sidelined through hamstring trouble.

Manchester City will be without record goalscorer Sergio Agüero once again. The Argentinian has missed the last three games with a muscular problem, the latest in a catalogue of fitness issues to have marred his final season at the club. City have no other fresh fitness concerns but, as in previous domestic cup ties this season, Zack Steffen could take over from Ederson in goal.

Arsenal will be without captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as the skipper has missed the last two games after contracting malaria during the recent international break. David Luiz and Kieran Tierney (both knee) are sidelined and Real Madrid loanee Martin Odegaard is a doubt as he continues to suffer from a niggling ankle issue.

Fulham will be without Terence Kongolo for the remainder of the season after he sustained an injury on his comeback match against Wolves last Friday. The 27-year-old, who has managed just two appearances this season, will have surgery on Saturday to fix the problem.

England goalkeeper Nick Pope could miss a second straight Burnley game with a shoulder problem, while Dwight McNeil has given Sean Dyche fresh cause for concern. Pope has been struggling with a shoulder injury suffered at Southampton, while McNeil took a knock in training on Wednesday Ashley Barnes, Robbie Brady and Kevin Long remain sidelined.
