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.

      Your decision, I did the same but don't feel bitter, I know I'd rather have Torres over Drogba in the next couple of weeks. I had him from the start also so at least I had his big scores at the start! 🙂

    My team is spiraling out of control.

    I need a new keeper.I need to get rid of Lee and/or Jarvis. I need to get rid of Tevez.

    I want Hart or Foster at GK. I want Defoe in for Tevez, who will probably be out of City or out of favor with Mancini soon.

    I also need some Chelsea coverage but don't know who, besides Drogba and Lamps I should bring in.

    I NEED HELP!!

      Why do you need Chelsea coverage? Their rubbish at the moment. You have good keepers for next week so that isn't an issue, I also have Lee and plan to get him out yes but that isn't issue? Why do you need rid of Tevez, it hasn't changed anything the transfer request, he is still their best player and don't you think he's been playing unhappy all season?

      You've just had a bad weeeeek. Don't knee-jerk, it's silly.
