Three Premier League games are served up today, before the heavyweight clash tomorrow night at Old Trafford. We start with two games (both kicking-off at 1.30pm), one at Molineux as Wolves face Birmingham City in a Midlands derby, and the other at the Reebok where the Wanderers will be looking to make it a great sporting weekend for the town of Bolton, as they take on Blackburn Rovers in-front of the Sky cameras.

The team sheets are in from both fixtures, and here is the team news…

Bolton line-up exactly as predicted, with the potent strike-force of Kevin Davies and Johan Elmander heading a 4-4-2. For the visitors, there is just one significant name on the team sheet, or rather omitted from it, as Martin Olsson starts instead of David Dunn, who sits on the bench.

Bolton XI: Jaaskelainen, Ricketts, Cahill, Knight, Robinson, Lee, Mark Davies, Holden, Petrov, Elmander, Kevin Davies

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Nelsen, Givet, Olsson, Emerton, Jones, Pedersen, El-Hadji Diouf, Roberts

As for the derby, and neither Kevin Doyle nor Matt Jarvis shook off injuries to feature in any capacity today. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Stephen Hunt come in. Liam Ridgewell and Craig Gardner don’t make the Birmingham starting line-up, with only the latter on the bench. Nikola Zigic and David Murphy get the nod.

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Zubar, Berra, Stearman, Elokobi, Foley, Edwards, Milijas, Ward, Hunt, Ebanks-Blake

Birmingham XI: Foster, Carr, Johnson, Dann, Murphy, Larsson, Bowyer, Ferguson, Fahey, Jerome, Zigic

Then it’s down to the capital where a buoyant Spurs play the faltering champions Chelsea at 4pm. The visitors will be desperate to reach the league summit once more, and the hosts will be eager to close the gap to fourth after tasting, and liking, Champions League football.

To keep track of and to join in the discussion of all the day’s action, head to our chatroom which is available right here.

      Im thinking Cahill at 9ish million is overpriced and soon off to cup.

        Cahill has nice fixtures until he leaves though. I'd say keep and sell Etherington.

    Does anyone on here seriously care about their rank? I wouldn't want to win the whole thing anyway and don't care less whether I'm behind some random person in Malaysia or wherever tbh.

      why not? a good overall rank is always good(top 10k at least). My preference is private leagues then overall position which is interconnected if you wanna win a league with quality players.

        Obviously it is good and if you have a good rank means you have lots of points and you will be at the top of your leagues but really, I don't give two hoots whether I'm 50k or 30k for example.

          main thing obviously is it win your own (money) mini leagues, but personnely I spend far too much time thinking about my team so I`d like to see me up there in teh main league.

          overall rank is just another way of looking at the main issue in FPL - overall points. surely that is why you are playing? to see how many points you can get? beg your pardon, but this sounds more like spiteful Sunday trolling than anything else 🙂

            Nah, I generally don't care about my rank. I've had a decent week so I'm not bitter, on 36 points so I'm happy.
