Paintsil, Stoor, Hangeland, Hughes, Konchesky, Kallio, Milsom,
Murphy, Davies, Gray, Gera, Dacourt, Brown, Barnes,

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson will give late fitness tests to Paul Konchesky and Andy Johnson.
Both players have been struggling with muscle strains but will be given every chance to prove their fitness.
Dickson Etuhu is still out with the knee injury he sustained against Wigan, meaning on-loan Inter Milan midfielder Olivier Dacourt should continue in midfield.
Man Utd (from):
Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak,
Neville, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra, O'Shea,
Nani, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Giggs, Park, Gibson,
Ronaldo, Berbatov, Rooney, Tevez, Welbeck.
Wayne Rooney is back after a seven-match absence as Manchester United look to open up a five-point advantage over Liverpool by beating Fulham at Old Trafford.
The England striker suffered a hamstring injury against Wigan a month ago but has now fully recovered and will be part of a much-changed United squad.
Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Carlos Tevez, Michael Carrick and Dimitar Berbatov are among the big names who return following the FA Cup win at Derby, while Edwin van der Sar looks to complete an incredible 14th consecutive Premier League clean sheet.
