The Clarets boss has no new injury problems but defender Michael Duff (calf) and winger Ross Wallace (knee) remain sidelined.Danny Ings returned from a hamstring complaint to replace Junior Stanislas at half-time during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Brighton at the Amex Arena and could push for a start.

Defender Ben Mee is back in training following his medial knee ligament injury and Dyche wants to pitch the former Manchester City youth team captain into a practice match this week but the Terriers' visit comes too soon for him.Burnley have taken only two points from their last five Championship matches and lie eight points off the play-off places following their recent slump.

Huddersfield boss Mark Robins also has no new injury or suspension problems, but is still without injured trio Danny Ward, Jermaine Beckford and Keith Southern.

Winger Ward has missed the last six games due to a broken metatarsal, on-loan Leicester striker Beckford is struggling with the hamstring problem that has ruled him out for a similar period and midfielder Southern has been sidelined since the middle of last month with an Achilles injury.

Defender Anthony Gerrard returned in the goalless home draw with Ipswich after an Achilles injury and helped shore up a leaky defence that conceded six in the previous game at Nottingham Forest.

Latest signing Theo Robinson made his second debut for the Terriers as a substitute against Ipswich after arriving on loan until the end of the season from Derby and could be included in the starting line-up, while midfielder Oliver Norwood, right-back Jack Hunt and winger Sean Scannell are all pushing for recalls.




Burnley

• Burnley are looking for a first win in six league outings after collecting just two points from the last 15 available since their 2-0 triumph at Millwall on 19 January.

• Defeat would see Huddersfield becoming the third club to do the double over the Clarets this term, after Leicester and Brighton.

• Only 22 players have been used in this Championship campaign - fewer than any other club.

Huddersfield Town

• Huddersfield are two places and two points above the drop zone, and are without a point away from home in 2013 having lost all four matches, conceding 22 goals in the process.

• The Terriers last enjoyed victory on their league travels on 10 November, at Barnsley. It was their fourth away maximum of the campaign. Since then they've managed just two points from a possible 24 on the road.

• The West Yorkshire club have fired a divisional low 127 shots on target from 278 goal attempts, which at 45.9% is the lowest proportion of accuracy in the second tier.

Craig Alcock was named on the bench on Saturday following a knee injury and the defender may be involved again.

Bolton Wanderers 
• Bolton completed home wins against the top three clubs with Saturday's 4-1 victory over Hull, but the mid-table Trotters have won only one of six fixtures against the bottom-six clubs.
• Crystal Palace, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich are the only clubs to have left the Reebok Stadium with maximum points this season. Wanderers have lost fewer home games than any other bottom-half club.
• The Greater Manchester club have gained 19 Championship points from losing positions (only Blackpool beat that with 20), but have squandered an unrivalled 26 points when winning.
Peterborough
• Peterborough were unable to register a third successive league win on Saturday. The 2-0 home loss to Birmingham saw them returning to the foot of the table, four points from safety.
• They travel in search of a fourth win in six away league games, one week after a 5-1 triumph over Millwall at the Den.
• Posh are yet to keep a clean sheet this calendar year, and an unequalled 21 of the 58 Championship goals they have let in have been conceded in the last quarter-hour (36%).

The Brazilian, in an interview with Mundo Deportivo, expects Madrid “will come with everything because they are playing for their lives in the Cup and the Champions League. The difference in the Liga is important and in the Cup, we’re going to give it our all.”

Alves admitted that tomorrow’s match “will be difficult, just like all Clásicos are, but if we’re on our game we’ll make it to the final.” In addition, the defender rubbished the idea that Madrid “has Barça’s number at the Camp Nou. The two times they won points in the Liga against us [at the Camp Nou] was because we didn’t play well, not because they know how to beat us at home.”

He added: “The fans know how important this mach is. Getting to the final depends on all of us.”

“Not very classic” full backs

Sport highlights that Barça need to “use non-conventional wide full backs to kill Madrid.” The Catalan daily added that “Barça have four wide full backs that give the team additional firepower down the wings who are not afraid to take risks.” Alves, Adriano, Alba and Montoya are “incisive, surprising and their presence will be a key factor in Barça’s attack against Madrid in the Cup.”

The key to winning, according to Pepe

In Madrid, Pepe declares that he has the formula to defeat Barça. The Portuguese full back said, “the key is playing as a team, like we always try to do. If we play as a team, I’m sure we’ll have a lot of chances to get to the final.”

Di María or Kaká

In the pre-match press conference, the José Mourinho  said that he doesn’t know who he’ll line-up against Barça in tomorrow's Cup match. With that said, after Madrid’s match at Riazor, the Brazilian Kaká is hopeful that he’ll feature against Barcelona, according to the daily As. According to Marca, Mourinho’s biggest choice ahead of tomorrow's showdown will be choosing between the Brazilian and Di María.

For El País, “Barça and Madrid are facing two challenges in a week that, depending on what happens in the Champions League, could mark the rest of the season for both teams, for good or for bad.” “If Villa gets his resurrection at Barça, the same thing goes for Kaká at Madrid,” says José Sámano.

Team News:
Shielfield manager Ian Little is telling his men to be confident. "We could have won the game down here before that was drawn 1-1," he said. "We also gave Rangers a real fright when we scored two goals at Ibrox in quick succession to come back from three goals down so we can look forward to the game.
"We will attack but we know that we have to defend well or be punished."
Rangers are boosted by the return of three players ahead of their Irn-Bru Third Division trip.
Francisco Sandaza (thigh) and Ross Perry (hamstring) are both back in
contention after injury, while Kal Naismith is free from suspension.
Skipper Lee McCulloch and Kevin Kyle (both ankle) remain on the sidelines ahead of the visit to Shielfield.
Boss Ally McCoist has demanded an improvement this time from the performance they gave in their last visit.
He said: "It was as poorly as we have played. It was anything but a good experience. I was so disappointed in the manner in which we played.
"It will be a tough game. The playing surface at this stage of the season might not be at its best, which will make it a little bit harder to play a passing game.
"So, more so than ever, we will be faced with a cup tie atmosphere and type of game, which is fine, because we will be ready for it.
"The last time we were down there, we did not perform well and we have to do better."

Head-to-head
This is the 50th league meeting, with Sheffield Wednesday leading by 19 wins to 15 since first engaging in 1921.
Goals at either end of the match from Glenn Murray gave Crystal Palace their first win of the league season, defeating Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in the reverse fixture on 1 September.
The Eagles have only won three league games at Hillsborough, doing the double in 1997-98 in the Premier League, and in 2001-02 at second league level.

Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday are on the joint longest current unbeaten sequence in the Championship of six games.
The Owls have not lost a league match since New Years' Day, but have only drawn the last two.
Tuesday's goalless trip to Birmingham took the total of Championship games in which Dave Jones' side had failed to score to an unmatched 12.

Crystal Palace
Ian Holloway's Crystal Palace have regained their form, having bagged 10 points out of 12, and victory at Hillsborough would give them a third successive maximum and their longest winning sequence since five on the bounce in mid-November.
But while fourth-placed Palace are unbeaten in 16 league games at Selhurst Park, they have not mustered a victory in eight on the road (D4, L4).
The Eagles, on their best equivalent points for 19 seasons, have won five matches and recovered an unsurpassed 17 Championship points when opponents have scored the opening goal.

Head-to-head
Derby achieved their biggest league win of the season, and Watford suffered their heaviest defeat in the Rams' 5-1 victory at Pride Park in September, when there were six different scorers.
Now the Midland club are chasing a third win in four visits to Vicarage Road to complete the league double, last achieved in 2010.
Watford need to score once to take their total of league goals against Derby to 50.
Watford
Watford boast the best record in the Championship in 2013, with six wins, one draw, two defeats and 19 points from nine games.
Gianfranco Zola's side are chasing a third successive victory and clean sheet.
The Hornets are the top scorers in all four divisions (66 from 33), but have netted 10 fewer goals at home than on their travels (28 at Vicarage Road, 38 away).
Derby County
10th-placed Derby have drawn their last two, are without a win in four, and have only mustered one Championship maximum (over Huddersfield), since starting 2013 with three points against Middlesbrough.

Man City V Chelsea Barclays Premier League Preview

Man City V Chelsea Barclays Premier League Preview Feb 24, 2013

Match Preview: Sunday,24 February 2013, One of the important match Man City V Chelsea of Barclays Premier League HD Quality Live Man City V Chelsea streaming is available here.Man City V Chelsea Live Stream online Barclays Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at Etihad Stadium on 2/24/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.There is every chance that Manchester City will be 15 points behind their neighbours by the time this game against Chelsea kicks off on Sunday.If so, and Manchester City don't win, then there is surely a far greater chance of them being overtaken by Chelsea, and maybe even Spurs, than there is of them catching United. Indeed, Sir Alex Ferguson could be forgiven for calculating that United could win the title as early as 8 April 8 by beating City at Old Trafford - the stuff of City nightmares at the Theatre of Dreams. If you are reading this on Sunday morning and QPR have beaten United at Loftus Road, then I gladly give you permission to call me a plonker and to declare the title race back on. That's how pivotal this 24 hours could be.If Roberto Mancini nicks the title this time around it would be an even greater achievement than that of 12 months ago because his squad is palpably inferior to the title winners of last May, whilst United are clearly stronger thanks to their reliant Robin. Mancini's assertion that his failure to sign van Persie might be key is one of the things he has got right this season.Like Mancini, Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez is looking at the probability of losing his job once the season is done. The Spaniard's interview this week declaring his lifelong love of Real Madrid and ambition to manage his country suggest that Benitez is already looking beyond the Bridge.However, strange things happen; Chelsea's interim boss may actually have a better chance of survival than City's incumbent. Despite their labours against first Brentford and then Sparta Prague, Chelsea could still win two cups this season; how ironic would it be if winning the FA Cup and the Champions League was ultimately not enough to save Roberto Di Matteo, and yet winning the FA Cup and the Europa League was Rafa's salvation?



Team News:
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany could miss a fifth successive game with a calf injury.
Gareth Barry is a doubt with an ankle problem sustained during last week's FA Cup win over Leeds.
Chelsea are likely to be much-changed from the side that started Thursday's Europa League last-32 tie against Sparta Prague.
Frank Lampard, Branislav Ivanovic, Ashley Cole, David Luiz, Eden Hazard and Demba Ba could all be recalled.
Head-to-head
Chelsea have won 10 of their 15 Premier League visits to Manchester City but have lost their last three trips.
Manchester City have won five of their last eight games in all competitions against Chelsea, including August's Charity Shield.
Manchester City
City have gone three league games without a win (D2, L1) for the first time this season. They last went four matches without victory between September and November 2009 during a run of seven consecutive league draws.
The 3-1 defeat by Southampton was only the seventh time they have conceded three goals in a Premier League game under Roberto Mancini.
Nonetheless, they still have the division's best defensive record and have kept an unrivalled 11 clean sheets.
They have scored 25 goals in the final half hour of Premier League matches this season, more than any other team.
Carlos Tevez has failed to score in his last eight league appearances.
Edin Dzeko has scored six goals in his last seven Premier League games.
Chelsea
Chelsea are vying to earn successive league wins for the first time this year.
They have earned 25 points from 14 league matches under Rafa Benitez, one point more than Roberto Di Matteo managed from two fewer games in charge.
The Blues have 49 points, three more than they had at the same stage last season.
They have been awarded eight penalties in the league this season, more than any other team.
Frank Lampard will make his 550th league appearance. He has scored 199 goals for Chelsea, three behind Bobby Tambling's club record tally. He has scored in four successive Premier League appearances for the first time since August 2010 and has 11 goals in only 13 league starts this season.
Juan Mata has been involved in 19 goals (10 goals, nine assists) in 20 league starts for Chelsea this season.

Newcastle v Southampton Barclays Premier League Preview

Newcastle v Southampton Barclays Premier League Preview Feb 24, 2013

Match Preview: Sunday,24 February 2013, One of the important match Newcastle v Southampton of Barclays Premier League HD Quality Live Newcastle v Southampton streaming is available here.Newcastle v Southampton Live Stream online Barclays Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at St James' Park on 2/24/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Separated by goal difference alone, both Newcastle and Southampton will be well aware of the significance of defeating the other.Victory would take either to the 30-point mark and potentially as many as six points clear of the relegation zone with 11 games to play. The phrase 'breathing space' springs to mind. A year ago the Geordies ended February in the top six and with genuine Champions League aspirations - their phenomenal season earned them a Europa League adventure, which continued in Kharkiv on Thursday to mixed emotions among their supporters.There's a feeling on Tyneside that their ultimate exit may well ensure that any lingering relegation threat will quickly evaporate once the demanding Thursday/Sunday regime has concluded.In truth, though, Newcastle's outlook had already been improved significantly by their productive January recruitment drive - a little je ne sais quoi providing them with an essential boost following a six-game winless run.Their French connection subsequently earned them their first back-to-back wins of the season. The defeat at Spurs in their last league outing seems unlikely to dampen their new found joie de vivre , especially with St James' Park hosting a 'French Day' for the visit of Saints.That said, their opponents this weekend arrive in equally or perhaps arguably even higher spirits. Saints' well deserved win against Manchester City last time out merely confirmed their steadily improving form. With just one league defeat in nine games, Southampton have clearly proven that their acclimatisation process is now complete. That it took them time to do so is surely understandable when considering that successive promotions thrust them at high velocity into the top division.It's also worth noting that unlike their European-occupied hosts, they'll have had a full 15-day rest ahead of their arrival at St James' Park.  

Team News:
Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul is a doubt to face Southampton after suffering an ankle injury in Thursday's Europa League win at Metalist Kharkiv.
Midfielder Cheick Tiote could return after missing that game through illness, while Davide Santon is back in training after an ankle problem.
Southampton duo Gaston Ramirez and Luke Shaw return after missing the win against Manchester City through injury.
Guly do Prado is doubtful, while Jose Fonte remains out with a knee problem.
Head-to-head
Southampton won 2-0 in the corresponding fixture last year. That was the first league encounter between these clubs since January 2005 and a first win for the Saints over Newcastle in any competition since 2002.
This is the 87th meeting of the two sides, with the Magpies just edging out Southampton by 35 victories to 33.
The two sides go into this game level on 27 points.


Newcastle
Newcastle's 2-1 Premier League defeat at Tottenham last time out ended a run of back-to-back victories, against Chelsea and Aston Villa.
This time last season the Magpies' home record was the fifth best in the league with just two defeats in 12; however this term they lie 13th best overall (lost six of 13).
The Magpies have yet to win a league match having conceded first this season (D2, L9).
Six of Newcastle's seven league wins this season have come on home soil, while they have scored an identical number of goals (17) in both their home and away Premier League matches.
Papiss Cisse has scored five goals in 23 league starts this season, compared to 13 league goals in as many starts last term.
James Perch could make his 250th league appearance on Sunday.
Southampton
Southampton's 3-1 win against reigning champions Manchester City last time out was their second league win in nine games, of which six were draws.
Saints have lost just once on the road in their last five games and have taken 19 of their 27 points this season against bottom-half opposition.
Only Wigan and QPR have a worse first-half record in the Premier League than Southampton, who have trailed at the interval more than any other team (12).
Leading scorer Rickie Lambert will be looking for his 100th Southampton goal against Newcastle having scored in five of Saints' last six away league games.
Richard Chaplow could make his 250th league appearance.

Team News:
Defender Roger Johnson is another competing for a recall against his former employers.
Cardiff boss Malky Mackay could shuffle his pack as he looks to bounce back from just their second defeat in 18 games.
The Bluebirds were beaten 2-0 by Brighton on Tuesday night which saw their lead at the top of the npower Championship cut to five points.

Winger Craig Conway is pushing for a start after impressing as a substitute in the defeat to Gus Poyet's men, just the second time Cardiff have lost on home soil this season.


And the Scot could replace Craig Noone or Tommy Smith in the starting line-up should Mackay decide to freshen things up against Dean Saunders' struggling side.
Ben Turner came through his return to action after injury unscathed while Fraizer Campbell played for 84 minutes as he continues to build his match fitness following his move from Sunderland.

Team News:
Celtic will be without Scott Brown and Mikael Lustig for Sunday's Scottish Premier League clash with Dundee at Celtic Park. Brown has seen a specialist about his abductor problem and will discover on Monday if he requires surgery, while Lustig is out with a thigh injury.Greece striker Georgios Samaras is back after recovering from a hamstring injury but defender Charlie Mulgrew is a doubt with a glute problem.Dundee defender Davide Grassi is back in training ahead of the game but Sunday's game may come too soon following his recovery from a knee injury.Dundee are still without Stephen O'Donnell (knee), Mark Kerr (knee), Jamie McCluskey (Achilles) and Carl Finnigan (knee).

Neil Lennon is determined not to be affected by what he claims is the "overwhelming negativity" of Scottish football as his Celtic side surge towards the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title, with Dundee next up.
The Hoops are 19 points clear of Motherwell at the top of the standings and on course to clinch the championship next month.
However, aside from European nights during their exciting journey to the last-16 of the Champions League, in which they play Juventus in Turin next month trying to recover a 3-0 first-leg defeat, Celtic Park has rarely been full this season.
The absence of a league challenge from traditional rivals Rangers, now playing in the Irn-Bru Third Division, has had an effect on attendances and ahead of the visit of bottom side Dundee , Lennon was asked about the prospect of crowds dwindling further as the Hoops disappear over the SPL horizon.

"We just have to defend well as a team, help each other and pass the ball properly."If we defend well in any game, we can score goals and hurt any teams in this league."There is a lot of ability here and it's just getting them to believe how good they are."I think some of the younger ones don't realise how good they are. There are some fantastic talents."




Team News:

The 28-year-old, capped three times for his country, has joined up with the Easter Park outfit in a bid to keep himself fit after being released by Middlesbrough at the end of January.
However, manager Pat Fenlon insists he simply does not have the money to offer the former Rangers player - twice a Clydesdale Bank Premier League winner with the Ibrox club - a return to his former Leith stomping ground.
The Hibs boss said: "We have used up our budget in relation to players. We have given Kevin the facilities to come in and train and that's all there is.
"There are loads of players we would like to bring in if we had the money for it. Kevin is an ex-Hibs player and has been in training with us for the last few days and we're delighted to help him out but at the moment there is nothing more than that.
"So he's only here to train. He is obviously looking at his own career. He has been here before, still has a good relationship with people at the club so we wanted to help him out."
Fenlon will, however, be able to call upon midfielder Gary Deegan for the Tannadice trip after he sat out last weekend's 1-0 win over St Mirren in Paisley as he served a one-match ban.
That leaves defender Tim Clancy as the Easter Road manager's only injury concern as he continues his recovery from a hamstring tear.
Hibernian manager Pat Fenlon: "They're a good squad, they've got some good players and a new manager's come in and given them a boost.
"We know it's going to be tough going there.
"We're going to have play really well to get something out of the game.
"For the first time in a year or two, we've given ourselves an opportunity to be in the mix [for the top six]."
