Bolton: Bogdan, Steinsson, Wheater, Ream, Ricketts, Reo-Coker, Muamba, Sanli, Pratley, Miyaichi, Ngog.

Frank Lampard starts as captain today for Chelsea, and Ashley Cole returns at left-back. For the visitors, Tuncay Sanli and Ryo Miyaichi hold on to starting roles.

Sunderland: Mignolet, Bardsley, Turner, O’Shea, Richardson, Larsson, Cattermole, Gardner, Colback, McClean, Sessegnon.

    I think Blackburn might score and soften the Richards blow you know...

    I was sure that was a try and they gave it on the field, so surprised it was reversed. Anyway Wales are such a great young side, I'm happy for them.

      If they don't score early they tend to grind out a 1-0 or 2-0, when they score early they go on and get a skin full. They = City

      I was at the game and Fulham basically decided they'd take the 1-0 the moment they scored. Dempsey did virtually nothing all day and with Johnson fit and Pogrebnyak doing well I think his OOP may be gone for a little while yet

          They let in 1 right after scoring, that was a lapse in concentration, for the second one they were scared and were defending like bunnies in the last 30 minutes. Still won, though.
