Previews: Anelka out with toe woe

Nicolas Anelka will miss Chelsea's FA Cup quarter-final at Coventry City on Saturday because of a toe injury while defender Paulo Ferreira will miss the rest of the season because of a cruciate ligament injury he suffered on Thursday.

Michael Essien and Ricardo Carvalho, who have begun their comebacks from long-term injuries by playing for the reserves, will be in the squad as will Ashley Cole, who was arrested and charged with being drunk and disorderly on Thursday morning.

Coventry will be without full-back Daniel Fox, who has an injured knee. Striker Leon Best, who scored Coventry's winner against Blackburn Rovers in the fifth round, has recovered from a throat infection and will wear a mask to protect a fractured cheekbone.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said he had no new injury worries before the quarter-final at Fulham but would re-shuffle his squad following Wednesday's 2-1 win at Newcastle United.

Ferguson, who is taking a 20-man squad to Craven Cottage, said: "It certainly helps us to make changes. We played on a tiring pitch at Wembley then we had to travel back home and up to the north-east, which itself can be exhausting."

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is hoping Ledley King will be back in defence after missing Wednesday's 4-0 win over Middlesbrough.

King, who has an ongoing knee condition, played two matches in six days last week, but Redknapp said: "His problem is he cannot do it on Saturday and midweek."
