Injuries and suspensions: All the Premier League team news

#INSERT type:video END#

Get all the latest team news and information from the weekend of Premier League action.

PREDICTION: A 2-0 win for Spurs
FANTASY PICK: Harry Kane
KEY STAT: The Hammers have won just one of their past eight Premier League matches (W1 D4 L3).

- TOTTENHAM

Harry Kane is expected to return to Tottenham's starting lineup. Kane was rested along with Ryan Mason and Mousa Dembele for Thursday night's 1-1 draw with Fiorentina in the Europa League, but all three are likely to come back in against the Hammers. Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino has no injury concerns as his side embark on their second of six games in 17 days.

Provisional squad: Lloris, Vorm, Walker, Rose, Davies, Fazio, Kaboul, Dier, Vertonghen, Chiriches, Dembele, Bentaleb, Paulinho, Mason, Stambouli, Capoue, Townsend, Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela, Kane, Soldado, Adebayor.

- WEST HAM

West Ham will welcome both Winston Reid and James Collins back into their squad. The defensive duo have been missing with hamstring problems but are both back in training -- as are Diego Poyet and Cheikhou Kouyate, who is available despite suffering a minor arm injury earlier in the week. Morgan Amalfitano is suspended, and Nene, who was signed earlier in the week after Andy Carroll (knee) had been ruled out for the season, will also miss out, as he is not yet match fit.

Provisional squad: Adrian, Jaaskelainen, Cresswell, Jenkinson, Tomkins, Reid, Collins, O'Brien, Noble, Poyet, Song, Kouyate, Nolan, Downing, Jarvis, Cole, Sakho, Valencia.

PREDICTION: A 0-0 draw
FANTASY PICK: Tim Howard
KEY STAT: Twelve of the 17 Premier League matches between Everton and Leicester City have ended as draws.

- EVERTON

Leighton Baines is expected to return after missing three games with a minor knee problem. It should be a straight swap at left-back for Bryan Oviedo, who felt his hamstring in the Europa League win over Young Boys and is unlikely to be risked. Midfielder Gareth Barry is suspended, but Aaron Lennon, who was cup-tied in Switzerland, returns, while the game is expected to come too soon for Aiden McGeady, Steven Pienaar and Leon Osman.

Provisional squad: Howard, Robles, Alcaraz, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman, Baines, Garbutt, Distin, Besic, McCarthy, Barkley, Gibson, Mirallas, Lennon, Atsu, Naismith, Lukaku, Kone.

- LEICESTER

On-loan centre-back Robert Huth returns to the Leicester squad after being cup-tied for last weekend's FA Cup fifth-round defeat at Aston Villa. With Huth available and Matthew Upson recently returning from injury, boss Nigel Pearson is likely to pair the duo together. Pearson has only two players out injured in striker Chris Wood and goalkeeper Kaspar Schmeichel, although both are back in training and close to a return.

Provisional squad: Hamer, Schwarzer, Konchesky, Upson, Wasilewski, Morgan, Huth, Simpson, Cambiasso, James, Mahrez, Kramaric, Ulloa, Schlupp, Nugent, Drinkwater, King, Albrighton, Vardy, De Laet.

PREDICTION: A 1-1 draw
FANTASY PICK: Jose Fonte
KEY STAT: Brendan Rodgers' side have shipped 62 percent of their goals in the second half, the highest proportion in the top flight.

- SOUTHAMPTON

Morgan Schneiderlin and Shane Long are available. The pair returned to training on Friday after suffering an adductor injury and fractured ribs, respectively, and manager Ronald Koeman is confident they will be fit enough to be involved at St Mary's. Left-back Matt Targett is back in contention after a head injury, although Toby Alderweireld, Jay Rodriguez, Emmanuel Mayuka and Ryan Bertrand are out.

Provisional squad: Forster, K Davis, Gazzaniga, Clyne, Targett, Yoshida, Gardos, Fonte, McCarthy, Schneiderlin, S Davis, Flannigan, Wanyama, Reed, Ward-Prowse, Hesketh, Tadic, Djuricic, Long, Mane, Elia, Seager, Pelle.

- LIVERPOOL

Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling is pushing for a start at Southampton on Sunday after his successful return from injury in midweek. The England international made his first appearance in three matches after a foot injury as a second-half substitute in the Europa League win over Besiktas. Captain Steven Gerrard misses out again with a hamstring injury.

Provisional squad: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Ibe, Henderson, Allen, Moreno, Sterling, Coutinho, Sturridge, Ward, Manquillo, Johnson, Lovren, Lallana, Markovic, Borini, Balotelli, Lambert.
