West Ham have drawn two, lost two and won one of their last five games.Leicester City manager Martin O’Neill should have two key players back for their final game of the season. Garry Parker has recovered from a groin strain, while Swedish defender Pontus Kaamark is making good progress after suffering a back injury. Ian Marshall will play in attack or defence depending on whether Kaamark is passed fit. Leicester have won two and drawn three of their last five Premiership games and could still mathematically qualify for a Uefa Cup place if they won and other results go their way.FA CARLING PREMIERSHIP: how they standHome AwayPl Pts GD W D L F A W D L F AArsenal (C) 37 78 +36 15 2 2 43 10 8 7 3 25 22Man Utd 37 74 +45 13 4 2 42 9 9 4 5 29 17Liverpool 37 65 +27 13 2 4 42 16 5 9 4 26 25Chelsea 37 60 +26 12 2 4 35 14 7 1 11 34 29Leeds 37 58 +11 9 4 5 30 20 8 3 8 26 25Blackburn 37 55 +4 10 4 4 39 26 5 6 8 17 26Aston Villa 37 54 0 8 3 7 25 24 8 3 8 23 24Leicester 37 53 +11 6 10 3 21 15 7 4 7 27 22West Ham 37 53 -2 12 4 2 36 15 3 4 12 16 39Derby 37 52 +2 11 3 4 32 18 4 4 11 19 31Coventry 37 51 2 8 9 2 26 17 4 6 8 19 26Southampton 37 47 -5 10 1 8 28 23 4 4 10 21 31Newcastle 37 44 -8 8 5 6 22 20 3 6 9 13 23Sheff Wed 37 44 -14 9 5 5 30 26 3 3 12 22 40Wimbledon 37 43 -12 5 6 8 18 25 5 7 6 15 20Tottenham 37 43 -12 7 7 4 22 21 4 3 12 21 34Bolton 37 40 -18 7 8 4 25 22 2 5 11 16 37Everton 37 39 -15 7 4 7 24 26 2 8 9 16 29Barnsley (R) 37 35 -43 7 4 7 25 33 3 1 15 12 47C Palace (R) 37 30 -35 1 5 12 14 39 6 4 9 22 32.

“There is bound to be some discomfort but the important thing is that I will be able to play.” The Dons are likely to have an otherwise unchanged team.Tottenham v SouthamptonJurgen Klinsmann will make his last-ever appearance for Tottenham at White Hart Lane against Southampton tomorrow in a game which also marks the end of Gary Mabbutt’s 16 years’ service at the club. England Under- 21 striker Kevin Davies is still unavailable with the knee injury that has kept him out of contention for the last four games.Ginola 9 Leading scorer Le Tissier 13 Last season: 3-1West Ham v LeicesterHartson 24 Leading scorer Marshall 10 Last season: 1-0West Ham’s Rio Ferdinand will have a late fitness check on a neck injury to see if he can play for the Hammers tomorrow. Defender Richard Dryden is expected to recover from a virus which kept him out of last weekend’s defeat against Derby. Beresford, a pounds 1.5m signing from Newcastle in February, has been forced to miss the last two games with an ankle injury but returned to training this week. Defender Ramon Vega is available again after suspension but faces a late fitness test on a broken nose, while David Howells, Clive Wilson and Steffen Iversen are all definitely out.John Beresford hopes to be fit for Southampton’s final game of the season. But while Klinsmann will start the game, club captain Mabbutt – whose contract is not being renewed – is only likely to be on the bench and hoping for a late appearance as substitute.

“The specialist told me the fracture is healing as expected and that I would do no further damage to it by playing,” Earle said. Leeds’ Uefa Cup place is already assured.The Wimbledon midfielder and captain Robbie Earle is fit after three weeks out with a broken toe, and as well as being included in the squad for tomorrow’s game, has been given the all-clear to play for Jamaica in the World Cup Finals in France this summer. Graham’s only other casualties are the Portuguese midfielder Bruno Ribeiro, who recently underwent surgery on a groin injury, and Dutch defender Robert Molenaar, who is missing with a with a knee problem. City’s manager, Gordon Strachan, said that he would like Huckerby to play, but if he is unfit, Simon Haworth will be deputise.Leeds Utd v WimbledonHasselbaink 22 Leading scorer Leaburn, Euell 8 Last season: 1- 0Leeds’ defender Martin Hiden is manager George Graham’s only doubt for tomorrow’s final Elland Road match of the season. If he is not deemed fit enough to play he will be replaced by either Lucas Radebe or Gary Kelly at the heart of the defence. The pounds 1.5m centre- half damaged a hamstring in training and will undergo a late fitness check.

Third-choice goalkeeper Tynan Scope fell on the striker’s leg during a practice session on Monday and Huckerby has been unable to train since. The obvious replacement if Huckerby cannot play would have been Viorel Moldovan, but he is with the Romanian World Cup squad and will not rejoin Coventry until pre-season training. The 22-year- old, who has scored 15 times this season, damaged an ankle in training. Danny Murphy and David Thompson could also come into contention.Everton v CoventryFerguson 11 Leading scorer Dublin 22 Last season: 1-1New signing John Spencer is Everton’s only injury doubt as they prepare for tomorrow. He has a groin problem and has only just started light training. Howard Kendall is likely to restore French striker Mickael Madar to the starting line-up after leaving him on the substitutes’ bench for the 4-0 defeat at Arsenal last weekend. Tomorrow’s game is already a 40,000-plus sell-out and will rekindle memories of the last-day encounter with Wimbledon four seasons ago that Everton won to avoid the drop.England B striker Darren Huckerby is doubtful for Coventry.

Jamie Redknapp, struggling with knee ligament trouble, has only a remote chance of being fit. It could mean that Michael Thomas could play, and youngsters Gareth Roberts and Haukur Ingi Gudnason are likely to be in the squad. Robbie Fowler, Rob Jones and Dominic Matteo are all out, while Patrik Berger and Bjorne Kvarme have flu. Striker Francesco Baiano is fit again after a knee injury and captain Igor Stimac could also be back after missing three games with a chest infection.Jason McAteer is definitely out of the Liverpool side with a leg injury Captain Paul Ince is very doubtful with an ankle problem. Wednesday have won one game in their last five.Derby v LiverpoolWanchope 16 Leading scorer Owen 23 Last season: 0-1Derbys are without several top players for tomorrow’s final game of the first season at Pride Park. Injuries and suspensions have affected Jim Smith’s plans since the season started and the story is a familiar one as he prepares for the visit of Liverpool. Italian wing-back Stefano Eranio is out with a groin injury while midfielder Darryl Powell and striker Deon Burton are on international duty with Jamaica.
