Match of the Day - 2008/2009 - 19/10/2008

Gary Lineker introduces highlights from the weekend's seven Premier League fixtures. Middlesbrough faced Chelsea at the Riverside, where they have beaten the London club twice in the last three meetings. However, it was the Blues who came away from Teesside with three points last season, thanks to goals from Didier Drogba and Alex. Wigan visited Liverpool, where they earned their first-ever point against the Reds last season. Manchester United hosted West Brom, who have not won at Old Trafford for 30 years, while Arsenal welcomed Everton to the Emirates. Peter Crouch was twice a substitute for Aston Villa against Portsmouth during his spell with the Midlands side, but was likely to be leading the Pompey attack from the off when the two met today at Villa Park. Bolton were looking to improve their recent poor home record against local rivals Blackburn. And it was a battle of the Roys at Craven Cottage, where Hodgson's Fulham faced Keane's Sunderland.
