Bristol City defender Greg Cunningham faces a late fitness test after picking up a hamstring injury in training.Captain Cole Skuse will return to the side after recovering from an injury.

Head-to-head
Bristol City pulled off their biggest league win over Crystal Palace for 57 years, when they won the reverse fixture 4-1 in August.
The Robins are now looking for a first victory at Selhurst Park since March 2010, when Chris Iwelumo scored the only goal as his side completed the double.
Palace have lost only one of their last 15 home league games against the west-country club.


Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace have gained seven points and scored eight goals in three games, leaving them two places and four points outside the automatic promotion spots.
Ian Holloway will be expecting his side to extend this season's longest unbeaten home record in league football to 16 games.
In Glenn Murray, Palace have the most prolific goal scorer in the country. His brace in Saturday's 4-0 home win over Middlesbrough took his total for the season to 27.

Bristol City
Next-to-bottom Bristol City are chasing a fourth win in six, as Sean O'Driscoll tries to steer them to safety.
They are on 31 points, and the fewest a club has needed to survive in the last 17 seasons when this division has had the same structure, is 47.
The Robins are yet to keep a clean sheet away from home, and have lost the last five in all competitions on their travels. The most recent of three away Championship victories was 3-2 at Sheffield Wednesday on 8 December.

Huddersfield manager Mark Robins has no new injury or suspension concerns as he takes charge of his first league game. On-loan striker Jermaine Beckford (hamstring), midfielders Keith Southern (Achilles) and Danny Ward (broken metatarsal) all remain sidelined.

Head-to-head
Huddersfield have won eight and lost seven of their 19 league trips to Nottingham Forest, but they have not beaten the east-Midlands club away since a 3-1 City Ground second tier triumph in December 2000.
Forest have won two and drawn three of their last five league engagements with the Terriers.
If three goals figure in this game, it will take the total on display in league matches between the pair to 100.


Nottingham Forest
Billy Davies is hunting a first win in his second game back in charge of Nottingham Forest, and the club's second victory in nine Championship games.
Saturday's 1-1 home draw with Bolton was their first point in four outings and left the 11th-placed east Midlands club eight points shy of the play-offs, and seeking a fourth home win out of four against bottom-six clubs.
Forest have not lost a Championship game in which they have opened the scoring.

Huddersfield Town
Having triumphed over Leicester and then succumbed to Wigan in the FA Cup, Huddersfield return to the Championship, where they held leaders Cardiff to a goalless draw last time out.
The Terriers are three places and three points above the drop zone, as Mark Robins takes charge of his first league game needing to improve a record of one win in 15.
The lowest scorers in the Championship (33 in 31) are without victory in seven league games on the road.

Charlton lead by 23 wins to 18 after 50 competitive matches against Leicester over 78 years.
The Addicks have already beaten Leicester 2-1 at the Valley, and are hoping to stretch their unbeaten league run against the Foxes to nine, with a first double over them in 21 years.
Leicester last took three points off the South London club in December 2000, with a 3-1 victory in the Premier League at Filbert Street.


Leicester City
Fifth-placed Leicester sit at the top of the Championship's "form" table for the last six games, despite losing to rock-bottom Peterborough in their last match.
Nigel Pearson's side are pursuing a sixth win in seven Championship games, and a fourth on the bounce at the King Power Stadium.
The Foxes still boast the meanest defence in the second tier, with just 26 goals shipped in 30 games.

Charlton Athletic
Charlton are looking for a first win in five league games, having only picked up one point from the last 12 available.
They go into their 900th away fixture in second level league football, without a clean sheet in 13 games (all comps).
Chris Powell's side have conceded an unequalled seven Championship goals in stoppage time, but are the only club in the division yet to score in added time.

Head-to-head
Ipswich gained their first points in six Championship matches against Watford, with a 1-0 triumph at Vicarage Road in August, courtesy of Michael Chopra's last-minute winner.
The Hornets have won five and drawn two of their last seven league trips to Portman Road, and are chasing a third successive victory at the home of the Tractor Boys.
Ipswich last beat the Hertfordshire club in front of the own supporters in March 2004, recording a 4-1 win.


Ipswich Town
Ipswich picked up their second win of 2013 with Saturday's 1-0 home victory against Blackpool, to move four points clear of the drop zone. They are still 12 points shy of the generally-accepted safety mark of 50.
Only Huddersfield have scored fewer than the Tractor Boys' 34 Championship goals, and the Suffolk club have required 9.88 goal attempts for every goal netted, a divisional-low conversion rate of 10.12%.
Carlos Edwards is hoping to make his 150th league appearance in an Ipswich shirt.

Watford
Third-placed Watford are three points adrift of the automatic promotion places, and vying for a sixth win in eight league outings.
The Championship's top scorers (64 in 32), are coming off Saturday's 4-0 victory over Birmingham at St Andrews, which took them to the top of the division's "away" table, with 29 points from 16 games. Three points at Portman Road would provide an unrivalled 10th away win.

David Bentley, DJ Campbell and Karim Rekik could be in contention if any of Rovers' Emirates heroes are rested.

Head-to-head
This is the 50th league match between these clubs; Blackburn have won 27 of the previous 49, Hull nine, with 13 drawn.
Colin Kazim-Richards scored the only goal when the sides met at Ewood Park and set up Blackburn for a possible third straight victory over the Tigers, and a first double over them in 24 years.
Hull have failed to score in their last three matches against Rovers.


Hull City
Hull are well-placed for a return to the Premier League at the third attempt, being second in the table, three points above the play-offs and in search of a fourth win in five games.
Only runaway leaders Cardiff have won more Championship matches than the Tigers' 18, and they opened the scoring in all but two of those victories.
Steve Bruce's side are the most efficient in the Championship, as every goal scored has been worth an unrivalled 1.37 points.

Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn travel buoyed by Saturday's sensational FA Cup victory over Arsenal; their fourth win in five games.
Rovers are looking for a third win in Michael Appleton's sixth league match in charge, and a first league victory on the road this calendar year.

Ashley Barnes is suspended and fellow striker Will Hoskins is out with a knee injury suffered against Blackburn but the Bluebirds have no other worries.

Head-to-head
These clubs have met 60 times competitively since 1921, and each has won 21 of them.
Four of the last seven Championship matches between Cardiff and Brighton have been drawn, including the reverse fixture in August, which was goalless.
Cardiff lost this fixture 3-1 last season; their first defeat in 10 home league fixtures against the Seagulls spanning 20 years.


Cardiff City
Cardiff are flying high, eight points clear at the top of the table and on a nine-match unbeaten league run of seven wins and two draws. Peterborough is the only club to have denied them at least a point in 16 outings.
Three points would see the Bluebirds maintaining their 100% home record against the top 17 clubs, and provide manager Malky Mackay the present he will be looking for on his 41st birthday.
Defender Andrew Taylor is anticipating his 250th start for the club.

Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton lie immediately below the play-off places, but four points adrift after only one win in six league and cup matches.
Had the Seagulls converted their 13 draws into wins, they would have been seven points clear at the top of the table.
Gus Poyet's charges have not lost a league game in which they have opened the scoring this term, and have not won one in which the opposition has scored first.

Head-to-head
Sheffield Wednesday gained their first win in eight league and cup meetings with Birmingham, when they achieved an odd goal in five triumph in the reverse fixture six months ago, with each side scoring in the last two minutes.
Three points would provide the Owls with a sixth league double over Birmingham, and a first in 12 years.
Birmingham are vying for a fourth successive home league victory over the South Yorkshire club.


Birmingham City

Lee Clark's Blues, 16 points down on this stage last season, are seeking a first clean sheet in 18 Championship outings.
Marlon King is one league goal away from reaching 150 in his career.

Head-to-head
Former Wolves manager Stale Solbakken registered his first win in charge, when beating Barnsley 3-1 in the reverse fixture on 21 August.
It's 13 years since the Tykes last lost at home to Wolverhampton, winning three and drawing one of their last four second level league clashes at Oakwell, scoring one goal in each.
The black-country club did the league double over Barnsley in 1907, the first season they met, and have achieved it another three times since, most recently in the 2000-01 season.


Barnsley
The FA Cup quarter-finalists are on a rich vein of form under new boss David Flitcroft, undefeated in eight in all competitions, the last five of which were won.
Despite being one of seven clubs on a divisional-low total of nine Championship wins, the Tykes are on the longest current winning streak in the division of three, and last won four on the spin in December 2011.
If selected, Stephen Foster will be making his 500th club career appearance.

Wolverhampton Wanderers
This is a vital six-pointer for Wolves, who lie one place and one point above Barnsley in the relegation zone, having played one more match.
Dean Saunders is still in search of his first win in charge, and has taken on a side who have not tasted victory in 10 in all competitions (D4, L6), since a 2-1 triumph at Blackpool on 21 December.

Porto welcome back Columbian international James Rodriguez after the midfield playmaker missed seven games with a thigh injury.Winger Silvestre Varela has also recovered from injury, but Belgian midfielder Steven Defour is doubtful with a muscle strain.Malaga have only lost once in 12 games in Europe, with that defeat coming in Porto against neighbouring Boavista in the UEFA Cup.

Team News:
Porto coach Vitor Pereira says he is relishing his side's Champions League second round match with Malaga. Porto are unbeaten in 19 games and top the Primeira Liga.
Porto striker Jackson Martinez is top scorer in Portugal with 20 goals, along with three goals in six appearances in the Champions League so far. He is nicknamed "Cha Cha Cha" due to his "dance-like" moves on the pitch.


Silvestre Varela and James Rodriguez are available for Porto as they host Malaga in the last-16 of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening.
Winger Varela was ruled out of the 2-0 win at Beira Mar on Friday with a muscular problem but he has shaken the problem off and could feature for Vitor Pereira's side.
Porto also welcome back another winger in Rodriguez, while Steven Defour remains sidelined with a thigh strain suffered in training at the end of January and will not be available.
Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini has a defensive headache ahead of the trip to Portugal, with neither of his current first-choice full-backs available.
Both Eliseu and Jesus Gamez are out with injuries, leaving Pellegrini with a dilemma at the back.
However, the Spanish side could be boosted by the return of Martin Demichelis in the middle of the park.

Elsewhere, the German league leaders are still missing striker Claudio Pizarro (illness), plus defenders Jerome Boateng (suspended) and Holger Badstuber (knee).

Team News:
The return of Martinez will be a boost for Bayern as they look to gain a positive result away at Emirates Stadium. The former Athletic Bilbao man has formed a solid defensive midfield partnership with Bastian Schweinsteiger.


"As things stand at the moment, it looks really good. He is available again," said head coach Jupp Heynckes - who won the Champions League with Real Madrid in 1998.
"We have to see how the injury reacts, but I think it'll be OK."
Talking about Arsenal's FA Cup defeat by Blackburn, Heynckes warned his players that they should still be wary of opposition that "pose a great danger" to them.
"Despite the result, Arsenal have found their rhythm again in the last few weeks; they are very good going forward and are an excellent team," the 67-year-old said.
"They have wonderful players in their ranks and I'm wary of underestimating them."
