Midfielder James Milner, defender Richard Dunne and forward trio Emile Heskey, Gabriel Agbonlahor and John Carew will all be assessed ahead of the trip to the Reebok Stadium.

The possible absence of all, or part of, O'Neill's strike-force could mean a rare start for England Under-19 international Nathan Delfouneso.

Team (from): Friedel, Luke Young, Cuellar, Dunne, Collins, Davies, Warnock, Downing, Milner, Petrov, Sidwell, Ashley Young, Carew, Agbonlahor, Heskey, Delfouneso, Guzan, Albrighton, Beye, Clark.
