Fulham midfielder Damien Duff (groin) sustained an injury last time out against Aston Villa and may not be fit enough to start on Wednesday night.

Steve Sidwell serves the last match of his three-game suspension, so Kieran Richardson may well keep his place in the midfield. Otherwise, Martin Jol has no new injury concerns ahead of this game.

Meanwhile, Chelsea defender Ashley Cole (hamstring) is near a recovery although this game may come slightly too soon for the left-back, leaving Ryan Bertrand - who recently recovered from a virus - to deputise again.

Gary Cahill is also returning to full fitness and could make the bench for this game. Otherwise, Rafael Benitez is likely to field a strong side as the Blues look to open up a gap over fellow Champions League qualification rivals Tottenham.

DID YOU KNOW?

Fulham have seen five own goals scored for them this season, the joint-most in the Premier League alongside Manchester United.

The Cottagers have recovered just five points from losing positions in the league this term.

Fulham have seen their woodwork hit 18 times this season, more than any other team in the top flight.

Martin Jol's men have drawn their last five matches against Wednesday's opponents in all competitions.

The hosts' last league victory over Chelsea was a 1-0 win in 2005-06 thanks to a goal from Luis Boa Morte (pictured right).

Chelsea are undefeated in their last 14 matches against Fulham in all competitions.

The Blues' loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup on Sunday was their first defeat in the competition in 30 matches, excluding penalty shootouts.

Chelsea have not won a game away from home in the Premier League since they beat Stoke City 4-0 on January 12 - and only twice in all competitions in 12 outings.

Chelsea are 12/1 to beat Fulham 3-1 with Paddy Power.

Prediction
With their vociferous home support, Fulham will be hopeful of taking a win here and may cause a few problems if Dimitar Berbatov is on form.

However, the Blues will be hurting from their FA Cup exit, so will be keen for a positive reaction to maintain the strength of their bid to return to the Champions League. Rafa Benitez's men should have enough to beat their London rivals.

Editor's Prediction
Fulham 1-3 Chelsea

17.04. (Wed) 20:55 Evian Thonon Gaillard - Paris Saint Germain

PROBABLE LINEUPS

EVIAN
Laquait
Wass, Mongongu, Betao, Dja Djedje
Rabiu, Sorlin
Ninkovic, Berigaud, Barbosa
Khelifa

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN
Sirigu
Jallet, Sakho, Camara, Maxwell
Menez, Verratti, Chantome, Pastore
Lavezzi, Ibrahimovic

Evian could well name the same starting XI that impressively dismantled Stade Rennais, winning 4-2 in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

That would mean Kevin Berigaud - a scorer at the weekend - retaining his place ahead of Yannick Sagbo, with no other pressing issues for coach Pascal Dupraz to consider.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti is set to rest a few members of his side - most notably those that featured in both games against Barcelona and ESTAC Troyes in the past week.

Kevin Gameiro's outburst when substituted at the weekend could well cost him a place, with the returning Zlatan Ibrahimovic set to lead the line. The likes of Clement Chantome and Zoumana Camara are also in line for a recall.

DID YOU KNOW?

Evian sit 16th in Ligue 1, three points above the drop zone with one win in their last five.

The Annecy outfit are unbeaten at home in the Coupe de France since 2008.

Evian beat amateurs Amiens and Vertou and Ligue 2 side Le Havre to get this far in this year's tournament.

PSG sit top of Ligue 1, nine points clear of Olympique de Marseille following their 1-0 win over Troyes on Saturday.

Carlo Ancelotti's side are hoping to win the Coupe de France for the first time since 2010, having lost the 2011 final to Lille.

The capital club have won 11 away games in this competition in a row since a shock 3-1 defeat to Rodez in 2009.
PSG beat Arras, Toulouse and Olympique de Marseille to reach the last eight.

Prediction
Paris Saint-Germain may look a little jaded, and uninterested following their European adventure but the allure of winning a double in Carlo Ancelotti's first full season remains strong. Evian will put up a spirited fight but expect PSG to progress in a competition where they face no real threat after Marseille and Lyon's exits.

Editor's Prediction
Evian Thonon Gaillar 1-2 PSG

17.04. (Wed) 20:45 West Ham - Manchester United

PROBABLE LINEUPS

WEST HAM

Jarvis, Diame, Nolan, Collison, Vaz Te

MANCHESTER UNITED
De Gea
Rafael, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra
Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Nani
Rooney, Van Persie

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce is unlikely to alter his side too much from the team which drew 1-1 away to Southampton on Saturday. Jack Collison could be recalled to the starting XI if he opts to freshen up midfield.

Carlton Cole is again likely to have to settle for a place on the substitutes' bench. George McCartney (hamstring) and Mark Noble (arm) are set to miss out.

As for the visitors, Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to make a number of changes from the starting XI which beat Stoke City 2-0. Rafael and Jonny Evans could both come into the back line while, further forward Nani, Ryan Giggs and Danny Welbeck are both pushing for recalls.

Veteran midfielder Paul Scholes could return to the squad after overcoming a knee injury but Ashley Young (ankle) remains at least a week away from returning while long-term injury absentee Darren Fletcher (bowel condition) continues to be unavailable.

DID YOU KNOW?

On-loan Liverpool striker Andy Carroll , has netted five goals in his last seven matches for West Ham. Carroll is 8/1 with Paddy Power to score the first goal in this match.

The Hammers have scored 36 goals in the league so far this season - only Norwich City (31), Stoke Cuty (28) and QPR (29) can boast less.

This season's previous league meeting between the two sides in finished in a narrow 1-0 win to the Red Devils. Robin van Persie scored the only goal after just 33 seconds.

Manchester United only need seven points from their remaining six matches to win their 20th English league title.

Van Persie's goal in the Red Devils' 2-0 win over Stoke on Sunday ended a goalless spell of 10 matches.

United have won 17 of their last 20 league matches - only dropping points in 1-1 draws against Swansea City and Spurs as well as their recent 2-1 loss to Manchester City.

Prediction
West Ham go into the match in solid form, while Manchester United bounced back from losing to local rivals Manchester City by beating Stoke City. The Red Devils have been superb away from home so far this season and could edge another narrow win to move closer to their 20th championship.

Editor's Prediction
West Ham United 1-2 Man Utd.

Boyce, Gomez, McCarthy, Beausejour
McManaman, Kone, Maloney

Roberto Mancini looks set to make wholesale changes to the side that overcame Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup semi-final as he seeks to ensure that his team are fresh when these two sides meet again at Wembley.

The rotated line-up will most likely mean a recall for Micah Richards, who hasn't played since picking up a knee injury in October, while Aleksandar Kolarov is also likely to come in for a rare start having not played in a month.

Javi Garcia and Edin Dzeko are also likely to come in, with Pablo Zabaleta, Vincent Kompany, Gael Clichy, Gareth Barry and Carlos Tevez all making way from the team that triumphed on Sunday.

Roberto Martinez, meanwhile, will be looking to capitalise on their below-strength opposition with practically the same team that earned Wigan a pass to the final by virtue of a 2-0 win over Millwall.

On-loan goalkeeper Joel does, however, look set to return, replacing Ali Al-Habsi who, prior to their FA Cup win over Millwall, had not featured for the Latics since their 4-0 mauling at the hands of Liverpool back in early March.

Otherwise, the Spanish coach faces no fresh injury concerns and appears intent upon retaining the same outfield line-up that has started every game (and remained unbeaten) since that defeat against the Reds.

DID YOU KNOW?

Manchester City have an extremely impressive record against Wigan - they have not conceded against the Latics since October 2009, which was also the last time they dropped points in the fixture as Charles N'Zogbia and Martin Petrov scored in a 1-1 draw.

City have allowed the opposition a meagre 76 shots on target in the Premier League in 2012-13, the lowest tally of any team in the top flight; they have also conceded the fewest goals.

The defending champions are also yet to lose after taking the lead in the Premier League this season, having won 18 and drawn two from winning positions.

Mancini's men have another lucky charm in Sergio Aguero - whenever the Argentine has scored in the Premier League, they have not lost, winning 23 and drawing two of the games he has scored in.

Wigan do, however, have some cause for optimism; Roberto Martinez's side have the best away record among clubs currently in the bottom half of the table. The Latics have won four, drawn two and lost eight of their games away from home this season.

The away side are also in fine form, having earned 10 points from their last five games after managing only a meagre seven points from their previous 13 matches.

Arouna Kone has led their now-customary late-season charge with six goals in his last eight Premier League appearances.
Manchester City and Wigan are 9/1 to draw 1-1 with Paddy Power.

Prediction
Wigan have not lost since early March, winning all but one of their games (and even that felt like a win, given the nature of Maloney's last minute equaliser at QPR) after their 4-0 defeat against Liverpool which, coupled with their penchant for great escapes, points towards an upset here. That notion is only strengthened by the rotated side that Roberto Mancini is likely to field after playing Manchester United and Chelsea in the space of a week; there could be very little separating the sides in this one.

Editor's Prediction
Manchester City 1-1 Wigan Athletic

Andrea Stramaccioni's preparations for the Coppa Italia second leg against Roma have taken another blow after Walter Gargano and Yuto Nagatomo picked up injuries in the 2-0 defeat to Cagliari on Sunday.

The Japanese defender has been ruled out for the season after breaking his external left meniscus, while the Uruguayan anchorman will face several weeks on the touchline with a thigh strain. They add their names to a growing injury list which includes Antonio Cassano, Rodrigo Palacio, Diego Milito and Cristian Chivu.

Stramaccioni is already without the suspended Alvaro Pereira and Fredy Guarin as Inter look to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit. Veteran striker Tommaso Rocchi will continue to operate as the only fit senior forward.

Giallorossi coach Aurelio Andreazzoli has concerns over trio Erik Lamela, Pablo Osvaldo and Miralem Pjanic after they missed Monday's training session, but all three are expected to shake off knocks to play on Wednesday.

Club officials also revealed that Daniele De Rossi is making significant progress in his comeback from injury, and the 29-year-old could start.

Vasilis Torosidis and Marquinhos are both pushing for a return to the starting XI after being rested for the 2-1 victory at Torino on Sunday.

DID YOU KNOW?

Roma striker Mattia Destro is the competition's joint-highest goalscorer, alongside Cagliari's Thiago Ribeiro on three goals. The 22-year-old notched the winner in Roma's 2-1 first leg victory over Inter at the Stadio Olimpico.

Inter defeated Roma 1-0 in the 2009-10 Coppa Italia final and also eliminated the Giallorossi the following season 2-1 on aggregate in the semi-finals.

Nine-times winners Roma are bidding for a record 17th Coppa Italia final appearance.

Aurelio Andreazzoli's side are unbeaten in their last six matches against Inter, winning three and drawing three.

Club captains Francesco Totti and Javier Zanetti have made 117 Coppa Italia appearances between them. Totti has 17 goals in 48 matches, whilst the Argentine has three goals in 69.

Nerazzurri coach Stramaccioni was a youth coach at Roma between 2005 and 2011, where he won two national titles.

Prediction
Inter are a team for the big occasion and they will look to exploit Roma's defensive vulnerabilities. However, Stramaccioni's injury-ravaged side could struggle to create chances and with the goalscoring potential of Lamela, Totti and Osvaldo, the Giallorossi will be hopeful for a record 17th Coppa Italia final appearance against local rivals Lazio.

Editor's Prediction
Inter 1-1 Roma
