Gabby Logan presents highlights of today's Premier League matches, including Liverpool's home game against Fulham, which sees Reds' boss Roy Hodgson face the side he left in the summer. The Cottagers have not won any of their 29 previous visits to Liverpool, but under Hodgson they did claim draws in their two most recent trips to Anfield.

Stoke have also found the going tough at Arsenal, not having won there since 1981. West Brom and Newcastle have already pulled off shock wins at Arsenal this season which will give the Potters hope.

Elsewhere, struggling West Ham travel north to play Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, Wigan Athletic meet Aston Villa, Sunderland take on Bolton Wanderers and Birmingham City host Newcastle.

Colin Murray presents highlights of the day's big games

Colin Murray introduces highlights of today's three Premier League games, including the clash between title rivals Chelsea and Manchester United.

The Blues won both of last season's meetings, victories that ultimately proved decisive as they finished just one point ahead of the Red Devils in May. Stamford Bridge has not been a happy hunting ground for United in recent years – their last win at Chelsea was in 2002.

Newly promoted Blackpool have already claimed several notable scalps this season, including a famous win at Liverpool, so Tottenham will need to be on their guard when they visit Bloomfield Road. Spurs need to find consistency if they are to qualify for the Champions League for a second successive season.

West Brom have also made their mark since winning promotion from the Championship, beating Arsenal and holding Manchester United, but survival remains the priority for the Baggies. The same is true of Mick McCarthy's Wolves, who make the short trip to the Hawthorns looking for a morale-boosting win in their battle to avoid the drop.
