Saturday's Premier League Preview

All eyes will be on Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime as Manchester United and Manchester City prepare to renew old rivalries.

Elsewhere this weekend there are a number of intriguing clashes, including what is a relegation six-pointer at the Hawthorns as West Brom, having just appointed Roy Hodgson, take on West Ham.

Wolves will be hoping to build on their remarkable victory over United when they travel to Arsenal, who will no doubt be fired up following their capitulation at Newcastle.

The resurgence of Liverpool under Kenny Dalglish continued at Stamford Bridge and the Reds will be favourites to take the spoils when Wigan make the short journey to Anfield.

Late goals were the undoing for Sunderland last time out but it was quite the reverse for Tottenham as they prepare to travel to the Stadium of Light this weekend.

Blackpool host Villa at Bloomfield Road having lost five on the bounce - a worrying sign for Holloway who will know an upturn in form is crucial to avoid the drop.

Newcastle's miraculous turnaround against Arsenal was the highlight of a truly splendid weekend of Premier League action and the Magpies go to Blackburn hoping to keep the momentum going from that epic comeback.

Birmingham may not have won in style at West Ham but points are the crucial thing as the second half of the campaign charges on and Alex McLeish knows more of the same against Stoke would be most welcome.

All in all, should be a cracking day with plenty of goals

also ive just read that Sian Massey is running the line at the Blackpool v Aston Villa match.

Berbatov on the bench for Utd. Is Sir Alex being a bit too conservative by packing the midfield?

why no beratov?

both teams 4-5-1.
I hope they dont just cancel eachother out.
Tevez works well in this role, at least Utd have the option to change it at half time and bring Berbatov on if need be.
