A host of England internationals at all levels will be gracing the turf up and down the country in the top flight, and here’s your guide to where you can find them.
Saturday 31 January
Hull City v Newcastle United (12:45pm)
England Under-21s forward Tom Ince will be hoping to feature for the Tigers as Steve Bruce’s men look to climb away from the relegation zone.
Jack Colback, who impressed enough to earn a call-up to the senior Three Lions squad earlier this season, and Adam Armstrong, a member of Neil Dewsnip’s U18s squad, will be hoping to be involved for the visitors.
Crystal Palace v Everton
Phil Jagielka, Ross Barkley, who both helped England to a 3-1 win over Scotland in their last outing, are likely to be included in the Toffees line-up for their trip to Selhurst Park. Left-back Leighton Baines, a regular for his country under Hodgson, is also likely to start for Roberto Martinez’s men.
Carroll and Downing return to Anfield with West Ham
Liverpool v West Ham
Following their League Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea on Tuesday, Liverpool will look to make a return to winning ways against the Hammers, with senior internationals Jordan Henderson, Raheem Sterling, Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert all expected to be involved for the Reds.
Two other England men, Stewart Downing and Andy Carroll, make their return to Anfield for Sam Allardyce’s side – both were sold to the east London club by Brendan Rodgers.
Manchester United v Leicester City
Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Wayne Rooney, and U20s international striker James Wilson, will be looking to put last week’s goal-less draw at Cambridge United in The Cup behind them as they welcome Leicester City to Old Trafford. Michael Carrick is ruled out through injury.
The visitors could include defender Liam Moore, who told TheFA.com earlier this week of his determination to win back his first-team place.
Stoke City v QPR
Gareth Southgate’s U21 captain Jack Butland will likely return to the bench after appearing for the Potters in their 4-1 FA Cup win at Rochdale on Monday. Ryan Shawcross, who has won one cap under Hodgson, will captain Mark Hughes’ men as they look to shut out QPR’s Charlie Austin – the highest scoring Englishmen in the top flight.
Sunderland v Burnley
It will be a tale of two strikers on Saturday as Jermain Defoe and Danny Ings look to ease the relegation worries of their respective sides.
The England international striker joined the Black Cats from Toronto earlier this month, and he will be hoping to strike his first goal for the club against the Clarets.
Sean Dyche’s men possess a potent weapon of their own in Ings, with the Under-21s forward striking seven goals so far in the league.
West Bromwich Albion v Tottenham Hotspur
Another story of two forwards going head-to-head, and it will be a contest Under-21s boss Gareth Southgate will no doubt have a keen eye on.
His Young Lions strikeforce of Saido Berahino and Harry Kane will both hope to have the bragging rights after this contest at the Hawthorns.
Senior international Ben Foster, goalkeeper for the Baggies, will likely be the man tasked with stopping Kane, however, he will also be keen to stop international team-mates and Spurs duo Andros Townsend and Kyle Walker too.
Kane and Berahino go head-to-head at The Hawthorns
Chelsea v Manchester City (5.30pm)
First meets second at Stamford Bridge in the afternoon’s late kick-off.
England defender Gary Cahill, rested for the midweek clash with Liverpool, could return to the Blues defence.
Joe Hart and James Milner are included in City’s squad for the clash in West London.
Sunday 1 February
Arsenal v Aston Villa (1.30pm)
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere and Danny Welbeck are all absent for the Gunners through injury for Sunday.
Theo Walcott, Calum Chambers and Kieran Gibbs are all fit and raring to go for Arsene Wenger’s men, and they could be joined in the squad by U20s forward Chuba Akpom after he featured against Brighton in The FA Cup last weekend.
Villa boss Paul Lambert will be sweating on whether Three Lions international Fabien Delph will overcome an Achilles injury.
Southampton v Swansea City (4pm)
Fraser Forster, Nathaniel Clyne, who both played during the Three Lions win over Scotland in November, and Ryan Bertrand are expected to start for the Saints as they attempt to strengthen their grip on a Champions League place.
Under-21s midfielder James Ward-Prowse and U20s duo Matt Targett and Harrison Reed could also play a part for the hosts.
Jonjo Shelvey, who won an England cap under Hodgson against San Marino, is likely to start in midfield for the Swans.
