Manchester United will definitely be without defender Nemanja Vidic for the crucial match against West Ham following his recent concussion.
However, striker Wayne Rooney (hip) could be fit to start on the bench and Patrice Evra, who was stretchered off at Barcelona in midweek, will start.
West Ham expect winger Julien Faubert to have shaken off a slight hamstring problem to be fit to start.
However, Freddie Ljungberg (rib) has been added to the list of injuries.
Make your Premier League predictions
United are locked on points with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table, but have a vastly superior goal difference.
They will be aiming to keep up the pressure on their rivals, whose next match against Newcastle is not until Monday, but must do so without Vidic, says Ferguson.
"Vidic is not fit for Saturday as with concussion you are out for 10 days, but he should be fit for next Sunday," said the Scot.
"Rooney has given himself a chance but I don't know if he will start, maybe he will be on the bench.
606: DEBATE
Your predictions on the match
"There has been a lot of improvement in the lad and the bruising on his hip has broken up, but we will still have to see whether he can make it.
"We have got a cup final of major importance and we want to make sure he is available for that, so we are not rushing him. We need to make sure he is 100%."
