Adrian Chiles presents highlights of the day's three Barclays Premier League games. Sam Allardyce takes his Blackburn side to his former club Bolton. Bolton have hosted Blackburn eight times in the Premier League since the turn of the century but have not enjoyed a home victory over their east Lancashire neighbours in that time. After Blackburn's sluggish start to the season, Allardyce will be hoping that that run continues. Another manager facing an old club is Tony Pulis, whose former club Portsmouth visit his current employers Stoke. Pulis spent an unhappy ten months at Pompey almost a decade ago but is now enjoying plenty of plaudits at the helm of the Potters. There was a thrilling finale to this fixture last season, with all four goals coming in the last 15 minutes, culminating in Stoke's Ryan Shawcross deflecting the ball into his own net to allow Portsmouth to take away a point. Paul Hart's side made a terrible start to the season, but 4-0 wins against Stoke in the Carling Cup and Wigan in the Premier League at the end of October offer hope of a change in fortunes. The day's other game sees Wigan travel to Tottenham. The Latics held Spurs to a goalless stalemate at White Hart Lane last season but were thumped 4-0 there two years ago. There is also a chance to catch up with all the goals from Saturday's matches and a look at football's funnier side in 2Good 2Bad.
