Due to a number of FA Cup matches, the Premier League schedule has been thrown into a tizzy, with only five fixtures scheduled for this weekend. I've marked a few of the fantasy-relevant players below, but just remember that if you have any of the guys in your fantasy starting XI who are off this week, don't be surprised when you get zero points from them.
As a reminder, you can find a full list of injured players on our Injury Updates page, or if you're looking for information on a specific player, just search their name and the latest news will be on their player page.
For a few key players, here's what we're seeing heading into Gameweek 29:
West Brom vs. Manchester United
Nicolas Anelka looks set to be fit from his knee injury, but a five-match ban for making an anti-semetic gesture will keep him out. Stephane Sessegnon is expected to return from a groin injury, and Claudio Yacob should be back from his hamstring issue. Phil Jones (hip) will likely sit for another week, but Jonny Evans (calf) and Rafael (concussion) are expected to be fit. Meanwhile, Chicharito could be sidelined for a while after picking up a knee injury in Wednesday's international friendly against Nigeria.
