Doriva will be out for another 2-3 weeks after getting injured away to Manchester City. Nash has an injured finger so Brad Jones has had to be recalled from his loan at Blackpool to be on the bench tonight.
Mills and Cooper have bad colds and are ony 50:50. Menwhile Juninho and Mendieta both have niggling injuries which could keep them out.
However, even if all these players plus the long term absentees Job and Christie are not available a decent team can stiil be put out.
For example:
Schwarzer, Davies, Southgate, Riggott, Quedrue, Zenden, Boateng, Greening, Downing, Maccarone and Nemeth
Subs: Jones (g), Ehiogu, Parnaby, Ricketts and Stockdale or Johnston
