MONDAY'S GAMES
Crystal Palace
Swansea City
11:00 PM MYT
FANTASY PICK: Ashley Williams
KEY STAT: The Eagles have won only one of their last eight league matches against Swansea (W1 D3 L4).
- CRYSTAL PALACE
Connor Wickham and Yannick Bolasie will be unavailable for "four weeks at least" with Bolasie unavailable due to a hip/thigh injury and Wickham out with a calf problem. Striker Patrick Bamford could return after missing Saturday's clash with a knock but Lee Chung-yong will be absent after his wife welcomed a baby into the family over the Christmas period.
Provisional squad: Hennessey, Speroni, Dann, Delaney, Hangeland, Kelly, Souare, Mariappa, Ward, Lee, Cabaye, Ledley, McArthur, McCarthy, Mutch, Puncheon, Campbell, Chamakh, Wickham, Zaha.
- SWANSEA
Swansea will make changes despite claiming only their second Premier League victory in 14 attempts against West Brom on Saturday. Caretaker manager Alan Curtis said there were a "couple of aches and strains'' after the West Brom win which had to be assessed before Monday's trip to Selhurst Park. Curtis is likely to rotate due to the short 48-hour turnaround and Angel Rangel and Leon Britton could be rested, with Kyle Naughton and Jonjo Shelvey both possibly starting.
Provisional squad: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Cork, Ki, Shelvey, Routledge, Ayew, Sigurdsson, Nordfeldt, Rangel, Bartley, Amat, Britton, Montero, Gomis, Emnes, Barrow, Grimes.

KEY STAT: Everton have conceded only nine goals in their last 20 home league games against Stoke and never more than once in a single match during this run.

Everton used midfielder Gerard Deulofeu only as a substitute in the 1-0 Boxing Day victory at Newcastle, and left Arouna Kone sitting on the bench, and both will hope for involvement at Goodison Park. Phil Jagielka (knee), Steven Pienaar and Bryan Oviedo (both hamstring), James McCarthy (hip) and Steven Naismith (ankle) are all close to contention after recovering from injury and expected to be involved at some point over the festive period.
Provisional squad: Howard, Coleman, Stones, Funes Mori, Galloway, Barry, Cleverley, Deulofeu, Barkley, Kone, Lukaku, Robles, Baines, Gibson, Osman, Lennon, Besic, Naismith, Mirallas.
- STOKE CITY
Xherdan Shaqiri is expected to be fit despite coming off in the second half of the 2-0 win over Manchester United with a knock. Geoff Cameron and Glenn Whelan were also substituted because of slight calf and hamstring injuries in the Boxing Day victory, but should be available for the trip to Goodison Park. Midfielder Stephen Ireland, striker Peter Crouch and defender Marc Muniesa are all out with hamstring problems.
Provisional squad: Butland, Haugaard, Johnson, Shawcross, Wollscheid, Cameron, Pieters, Joselu, Bardsley, Wilson, Whelan, Affelay, Van Ginkel, Adam, Walters, Sidwell, Arnautovic, Bojan, Shaqiri, Diouf.

Wes Hoolahan and Gary O'Neil are both expected to return after being rested for the defeat to Tottenham on Boxing Day, while Andre Wisdom is hoping to overcome a hamstring strain.

Micah Richards is close to a return from a knee injury and the skipper could feature, while Jordan Amavi (knee) is a long-term absentee. Gabby Agbonlahor, Charles N'Zogbia and Libor Kozak are available, but are struggling to break into boss Remi Garde's plans.

FANTASY PICK: Theo Walcott
KEY STAT: The Gunners are unbeaten in their last 21 Premier League meetings with newly-promoted opposition (W17 D4).

Arsene Wenger could make changes after the 4-0 defeat at Southampton and he was impressed by substitutes Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Calum Chambers and Alex Iwobi.

Manchester United
Chelsea
1:30 AM MYT
FANTASY PICK: David De Gea
KEY STAT: The last three fixtures between these two sides at Old Trafford in the Premier League have produced just three goals in total.
- MAN UNITED
Louis van Gaal must decide whether to restore captain Wayne Rooney after he came off the bench for the second half of United's defeat at Stoke on Boxing Day. Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger returns from suspension for the game against the Blues and defender Matteo Darmian has a chance of making his return from a hamstring injury, but Jesse Lingard (hamstring), Marcos Rojo (shoulder), Antonio Valencia (foot) and Luke Shaw (leg) are out.
Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Varela, Darmian, Borthwick-Jackson, Smalling, Jones, Blind, McNair, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Carrick, Herrera, Fellaini, Depay, Powell, Mata, Young, Pereira, Martial, Rooney.
- CHELSEA
Guus Hiddink is without Diego Costa after the striker picked up a suspension. He has also spoken of his belief that Radamel Falcao lacks match fitness, so Loic Remy is likely to start in Costa's absence. Eden Hazard and Jon Obi Mikel came on as substitutes against Watford so are in contention to start -- possibly at the expense of Cesc Fabregas, who came off at half-time.
Provisional squad: Courtois, Begovic, Ivanovic, Fabregas, Zouma, Rahman, Ramires, Oscar, Falcao, Hazard, Mikel, Traore, Kenedy, Pedro, Remy, Matic, Willian, Cahill, Terry, Blackman, Azpilicueta, Loftus-Cheek, Djilobodji.

West Ham's injury worries grew on Saturday after Aaron Cresswell and James Tomkins were both forced off against Aston Villa. Boss Slaven Bilic is hopeful Cresswell (hamstring) and Tomkins (head) will be fit for the visit of Southampton, but is waiting on Nikica Jelavic after he missed the 1-1 draw. Dimitri Payet (ankle), Winston Reid, Victor Moses (both hamstring), Diafra Sakho and Manuel Lanzini (both thigh) are likely to sit out again, but Andy Carroll (thigh) may return. Djair Parfitt-Williams could feature in the squad again after the young striker was an unused substitute against Villa.
