Key midfielders Tim Cahill and Marouane Fellaini are the latest additions to the casualty list with unspecified knocks and will be assessed before the game.
Striker Louis Saha is hoping to shake off the hamstring injury that has kept him out for two games while Jack Rodwell (groin) is also doubtful.
Victor Anichebe is another doubt but Phil Jagielka has fully overcome the thigh strain that sidelined him in December and has restricted him to bench duties for most of the past month.
