Dieumerci Mbokani is fit after six weeks out with a hamstring injury, while Harry Maguire's knee problem will be assessed.

Stoke midfielder Joe Allen is ruled out by injury, while Jonathan Walters is a doubt with a knee problem.

Goalkeeper Jack Butland could be involved for the first time since injuring his ankle in March last year.

Ibrahim Afellay is likely to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing a knee operation.
