WILFRED NDIDI

The midfield anchorman is expected to feature for Leicester City when they welcome Chelsea to the King Power Stadium in the FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday to book a place at Wembley in the semis.

Both sides have played out two stalemates in the Premier League (1-1 and 2-2) but there has to be a winner this time around.

Brendan Rodgers has never defeated the Blues, and will want his troops playing with fire in their bellies as they seek to progress to the last four.

SEMI AJAYI

West Bromwich Albion had to make do with a point on their return to action last weekend as Birmingham City left the Hawthorns with a 0-0 result.

Ajayi was part of the side that may have kept a clean sheet but failed to capitalise on Leeds United’s 2-0 defeat by Cardiff City.

This weekend, they face a Brentford side looking to make a late push for the automatic promotion spots.

The Bees, in fourth, trail Slaven Bilic’s side by eight points and a win at Griffin Park could bring them within five of the Albion.

West Bromwich will look to avoid defeat as it’ll leave a considerable distance between them and the chasing pack with the season in his final weeks.

KENNETH OMERUO AND CHIDOZIE AWAZIEM

Omeruo featured in gameweek 31 as Leganes secured their first clean sheet in seven games in a 0-0 draw with Granada.

Awaziem will hope to be recalled to play alongside his countryman when the Cucumber Growers travel to 12th-placed Osasuna.

Despite a clean sheet on Monday night, Javier Aguirre’s troops need to pick up wins given their precarious position in La Liga.

With seven games to play, second-bottom Lega are seven points behind Eibar in 17th and know time is running out on them to beat the drop.

VICTOR MOSES

Inter Milan’s faint title hopes were dealt a huge blow after a rip-roaring 3-3 draw with Sassuolo on Wednesday, which leaves them eight points behind leaders Juventus.

Moses featured for 75 minutes of the encounter and ought to feature in some capacity at Parma this weekend.

Antonio Conte’s team need a victory at Ennio Tardini and will hope Maurizio Sarri’s team fail to defeat Lecce, although the likelihood of that happening is slim given the Old Lady’s near-perfect home record.

JAMILU COLLINS

With Paderborn’s relegation from the Bundesliga already confirmed, they face Eintracht Frankfurt on the final day of the season hoping to bow out on a positive note.

Collins has been one of the club’s consistent performers this season, and the left-back should play from the off against a Frankfurt side with nothing to play for in the encounter.

Will Paderborn depart the German top flight with a bang?

KINGSLEY EHIZIBUE

The right-back will hope to play a part as Cologne seek to end a wretched run of results in gameweek 34’s trip to relegation-threatened Werder Bremen.

Last week’s 1-1 stalemate with Eintracht Frankfurt extended the Billy Goats’ winless run to nine matches, but they’ll back themselves away at a Bremen team that have suffered four defeats in their last five outings.

The hosts need a victory over off-form Cologne and hope Fortuna Dusseldorf lose at Union Berlin if they’re to avoid automatic relegation.
