Newcastle United vs Arsenal

Newcastle will welcome back Kevin Nolan from suspension for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Arsenal.

The midfielder has missed the last three games after being sent off for a horror challenge on Everton striker Victor Anichebe.

Full-back Habib Beye is also available for the first time since damaging ankle ligaments at Wigan on Boxing Day, although midfielder Danny Guthrie (hamstring) is not yet ready to return.

Joey Barton (fractured metatarsal) is targeting the end of next month for his comeback, but Mark Viduka and Ignacio Gonzalez (both Achilles) and Xisco (fractured toe) remain on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, Chris Hughton is determined to hand the reins back to Newcastle boss Joe Kinnear with a recovery already well under way.

Kinnear confirmed on Friday that he hopes to be back at the helm at St James' Park in time for Tottenham's visit on April 18 as he continues his recuperation from heart surgery.

Tottenham have moved to warn off potential interest from Liverpool in Aaron Lennon by agreeing a deal with the winger to keep him at White Hart Lane until 2014.

Lennon, whose recent form has seen him tipped for an England recall, was already on a long-term contract but was not thought to be one of the top earners in Harry Redknapp's squad.

The 21-year-old was suggested as a possible makeweight in the transfer that took Robbie Keane back to Spurs and has been linked with Liverpool since - but he has now agreed a two-year extension.

Clint Dempsey is a doubt for Fulham's Barclays Premier League clash with title favourites Manchester United.

The in-form American winger has had a bout of food poisoning but will be given until the last minute to declare his availability.

Other than that Fulham are relatively untroubled by injury, with only centre-half Aaron Hughes ruled out with a rib problem.

Roy Hodgson is more concerned about the prospect of rewarding Fulham's long-time fans with victory over United than about having an impact on the title race.
