Manish Bhasin, Mark Lawrenson and Martin Keown look ahead to the weekend's football. Today's Premier League fixtures include the return of Roy Keane to Old Trafford with his Sunderland side. Having faced Manchester United twice as a manager, Keane is yet to see his new team score against the club where he became a legend. Middlesbrough take a trip to Hull, while Arsenal are at home to Wigan. East Lancashire neighbours Blackburn and Bolton both face tricky home fixtures, with Rovers playing Liverpool while Bolton host Chelsea.

It is an important few days in the Championship, with a full programme of games taking place in midweek. Today's matches include a couple which could prove crucial in the promotion battle, with Sheffield United playing Burnley and QPR hosting Wolves. North of the border, Rangers meet SPL strugglers Hamilton ahead of Celtic's match away at Hibernian tomorrow.

There will also be a look back at what happened in the UEFA Cup last week and a glance ahead to this week's Champions League action, which will be the last before Christmas.
