Left-back Kieran Richardson (calf) is out, along with long-term defensive absentees Wes Brown (knee) and Titus Bramble (Achilles/calf).

Provisional squad: Mignolet, Gordon, Bardsley, Bridge, Turner, Kilgallon, Kyrgiakos, Lynch, Cattermole, Gardner, Larsson, Elmohamady, McClean, Vaughan, Meyler, Colback, Sessegnon, Bendtner, Wickham, Ji, Campbell.
